I'm not sure the US/Zionist intention in arming Fatah is to "defeat" Hamas so much as to throw Gaza into civil war. That provides a convenient distraction in order to steal more of the West Bank and re-think how to take southern Lebanon. Of course, it's a fool's plan no matter what the intention, but what do you expect from Zionists these days? They're getting really desperate. The best they can do is bide their time, and hope some catastrophic event allows them to finish off the Palestinians for good. A Shia-Sunni war in the Middle East, or a nuclear attack on Iran, might be what they're looking for. Again a stupid plan, but one I've seen explicitly articulated by the zioncons: "Let's just shake things up in the Middle East (i.e. increase violence levels, destroy governments and infrastructures) and see what comes out of it." These people are mad.
