Another Palestinian Intifada Not an Option
(Sputnik-Russia) Elizabeth Blade - Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman, who held senior posts in IDF Military Intelligence for over 20 years, says Palestinian anger with the agreements inked between Israel, Bahrain, and the UAE earlier this month are unlikely to translate into a massive popular uprising. "They are more interested in how to improve their lives and buy an apartment in [the new luxury neighborhood of] Rawabi, than in mass protests." "Palestinians believe that the PA is so corrupt that the whole idea of being governed by them or to put their lives [at risk] for them doesn't appeal to the masses. Plus, many look at the revolutions of the Arab Spring and understand the price they would pay for such chaotic actions."
