Hours after his security officers lynched a detainee, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas urged Palestinian businessmen living abroad to support the Palestinian economy by investing in the Palestinian territories. The Palestinian Authority (PA), he asserted, was "working to provide security and safety to encourage investment."
According to Abbas, "The Palestinian territories are living in a state of security stability, which we are working to provide for residents and investors alike by enforcing the rule of law and enhancing transparency and accountability." *snip* The Palestinian Authority is now paying the price for harboring, funding and inciting gang members and militiamen who until recently were hailed by many Palestinians as "heroes" and "resistance fighters." Unsurprisingly, most of these "outlaws" and "criminals" (as the PA describes them) are affiliated in one way or another with Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.
Nablus, the so-called Mountain of Fire, is now threatening to turn into a volcano that is set to erupt in the face of Abbas and his PA government.
The situation in Nablus the past few days raises serious questions about the ability of the PA to perform basic security measures and rein in armed gangs and militiamen. Moreover, the unprecedented violence has further shattered Palestinian confidence in the PA and its leaders ahead of the local and municipal elections, scheduled to take place on October 8.
Hamas's dream of extending its control to the West Bank now seems more realistic than ever.
Just deport them all to Gaza - Hamas will sort them
I don’t think ABBA had a fiddle player... probably hired an orchestra for those parts.
Nablus = Shechem
(Genesis 12:6) And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
(Genesis 12:7) And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
(Acts 7:13) And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
(Acts 7:14) Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
(Acts 7:15) So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
(Acts 7:16) And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

Why would Abbas care if "Palestine" burns? That his government or Arafat's desires peace is an illusion, the objective is the murder or expulsion of Jews from the region. They make no secret of it, and teach their children the honor of "burning" from an early age.
