The Fath Conspiracy: I have been calling for the revival of conspiracy theory in Middle East political analysis. A Fath conspiracy theory is being hatched and implemented before your eyes. Fath leadership under the corrupt Abbas and Dahlan--mere tools of US/Israel--has turned the movement into gangs acting on behalf of US/Israeli plans for--and against--the Palestinians. I have never been a fan of Hamas, but Dahlan's Fath is very much akin to the South Lebanon Army: they steal, blackmail, murder, kill, torture on behalf of Israeli occupation. There is no question that this Fath's militia's thuggery is coordinated with US/Jordan/Israel/ and the rest of Arab clients of US Empire. And to hear Jibril Rajjub talk about "peace" and "reform" is like the Hariri thieves in Lebanon speaking about reform. And we should also blame `Arafat for the mess in Palestine.
