| Milforum Moderator  | Post; Can the PLO really stop militant groups?It seems the PLO is calling on Palestinian militants to hault attacks on Israel. ARTICLE Israel is saying they will judge the Palestinians on their actions, not their words. Is that statement hollow or can the PLO really stop attacks on Israel?

| Primus Pilus | Dont think so, militant groups will never take orders from PLO. |

| Legatus Legionis  | No, they can't. Fanatism and personal interests are so intertwined there that PLO can't handle the situation.

| Milforum Moderator  | The PLO is a militant group...They organize gurrila and terror attacks...so they can stop at least their part. and yes, they can stop others two. the PLO has superior noumbers, and can simply crush resistence if they wish. but they want to keep Jihad and Hammas around to use them against Israel, to do things the PLO dose not do well(like suicide attacks)...

| Legatus Legionis | Thank you Sherman. Uhm, your comments are precious cause it's hard to get firsthand info from Israel. Sure enough, that the PLO is a merely political entity is a widespread misconception in Europe. |

| Fridgeraider (Instructor) | The PLO can't stop the other militants by words. The only way they can do such a thing is to actually police it... which means violence against those who disobey. So I said the PLO can't stop them because there's no way they're going to attack other groups seemingly on Israel's behalf.

| Milforum Moderator | I was interested by the deployment of Palestinians police on the Gaza/Israel border. Yasser Arafat never did such a thing. I also read that Mahmoud Abbas sacked over a dozen of Arafat's old advisers. Israel said they will judge actions over words. Abbas is really showing promise. He will have his hands full if the militant groups turn on him. |

| Milforum Moderator | Abu Mazen(thats what everyone here calls Abbas) is making some steps in the right direction. The deployment of the PLA police units is good. By the way, the PLA police is also involved in gurrila and terror attacks, so we will have to see. If Abu Mazen has the bulk of the PLO militants behind him, Hammas and Jihad dont stand a chance. But Im still not sure ifhe means to stop the terror alltogather or only temporarily. |

| Optio | Mr. SHERMAN I was confused by the sentence - "the PLA police is also involved in gurrila and terror attacks". Are there another PLA in Palestine? |

| Milforum Moderator | I maid a little error(which I keep making for some reason), and wrote PLA, when I meant PNA(Palestinian National Autherity)...Either way, the PNA police is under the rule of the PNA, which is under control of the PLO(Palstine Liberation Organization). Since the PLO is a terror organization, many terrorists serve in the Palestinian police. I hope that explains it. |
