This may be one of the worst ideas ever.
The U.S. State Department is sending security experts to the West Bank to begin "non-lethal" training of Palestinian security personnel, but a spokeswoman for the U.S. Consulate in East Jerusalem said the training will include weapons.
Michaela Schweitzer-Bluhm told Cybercast News Service on Monday that U.S. experts will train the Presidential Guard "with weapons." However, she said the U.S. would not provide any of the weapons.
Oh, but there's no cause for concern. /sarc
She said the U.S. is not concerned that the training could eventually be used against Israel or the United States, because the "U.S. government is working with the Palestinians" and "safeguards are in place." She did not say what those safeguards are.I'm gonna need a little more convincing.
