(MEMRI) Palestinian ambassador to Libya Mutawakkil Tahah told Al Jazeera on Sep. 27, 2013: "Israel decided to gather the youth who had fought it in the First Intifada, and to organize them into security forces, showering them [with money], so that they would defend it." "When the 2000-2001 Intifada broke out, it turned out that 70% of the martyrs, and of the people who carried out attacks...were members of the Palestinian security forces." "In other words, even when [Israel] establishes [our] security forces, these security forces remain patriotic and continue to fight the occupation. They will continue to serve as a wall defending the Palestinian spirit and Palestinian interests."
