Hi Denis, First thank you for reading, even though I disagree with your assessment. I will acknowledge first that some of the research for this article done by my co-author was informed by pro-Israeli sources, such as Cary Nelson who has written about this topic as well. So we take our information from any reliable source, regardless of ideology and as you can see I do not hesitate to criticize the PA. But as for the conclusions you draw, the bigger point from my perspective is that Israel prefers the corrupt PA to any more honest broker. Among those in power, no one's hand is clean in this conflict. But Israel and the US happen to have most of the power, hence that is where we direct our criticism, even as we acknowledge local forces that enables the broader injustice.
