Any Palestinian constitution is an illusion. Pallies are denied basic freedoms, human rights and civil liberties under fascist rule.
That is a problem. Abbas quit the government in June of 2007. He stays in power with money and weapons supplied by the US.
Abbas's security forces are armed, paid, and trained by the US in coordination with Israel. They completely ignore Palestine's constitution and the rights of the people.
