Recent media reports from Palestinian areas have emphasized some long-awaited positive developments such as democratization and financial reform within the Palestinian leadership.

These hopeful signs have been accompanied, however, by some disturbing scenes that are receiving almost no media attention. On Monday (Mar. 21), the Palestinian Authority's largest party, Fatah, held a rally for student leaders at Hebron University. At the rally, up-and-coming Fatah leaders collectively struck the 'Heil Hitler' salute that's universally associated with Nazi Germany (photo at right).



This salute also seems to have been recently adopted by the PA police force, as indicated by this February 10 AFP photo (photo at right):

With momentum gaining to resume peace talks, the PA's identification with Nazi German practice ¯ even in a symbolic manner ¯ is cause for concern.
