Palestinians Losing Foreign Aid. Shall I Cry Now?
By Pete Fisher (02/01/06)
The Palestinian government under Mahmoud Abbas is really beginning to fear the loss of foreign aid to their country. President Bush along with several other nations iterated that until Hamas recognize the right of Israel to exist, and swear off violence, there would be no money. I think this is a very reasonable demand considering the history and belief of Hamas, desiring to eliminate every Jew in Israel and steal the land.
And yet a senior MP who is backed by Hamas says “this was unrealistic expectation” to abide by this. The E.U. meeting in Brussels ruled out the freeze on funds at this time, being their largest donor of 340 million Euros, with the U.S.A at 220 million or so, which is over half a billion dollars US annually they stand to lose.
Israel is the largest provider of jobs to the Palestinians, and if Hamas continues their barrage of terror, they will have no jobs. With the result being that many more Palestinians will live in abject poverty while the Idiots That Be take what meager cash they can and continue to use it for arms and ammunition.
So the back peddling begins with the Palestinians telling the world that ALL funds designated for aid to the poor and needy will be still used for that purpose, that we should not be punishing the Palestinian people by withholding money. They may have stolen that line from Saddam as it sounds extremely familiar. The Palestinians with their blatant and open agenda of genocide and religious oppression will not be the popular kid on the block very long. They may end up with Syria and Iran for buddies, but the flow of cash will be easy to trace.
But watch and see people. Soon and very soon the Liberals will begin the tirade on American policies concerning our funding. America will soon be blamed by the DNC and it’s adherents for starving the Palestinians. After all, we are withholding money from one of the DNC’s closest allies. We will be blamed for the starvation and sickness that will pervade the Palestinians due to their own leadership withholding the money they get elsewhere. Remember the billions Arafat had when he died? None of that went to the Palestinians anymore than the Oil for Food money went to the Iraqi people. It ALL went to build the army and torture the common man.
So why is the E.U. holding back here seeing that they, along with the U.N. got burned so badly in the last swap meet with the Middle East? Any person with a brain can see that even IF the money we sent went to feed and support the poor Palestinians, all we would be doing is nourishing those who would carry a bomb into a mall or let loose with rifle fire into a school building. What President Bush is doing is what most any responsible parent would do for their brat child. It is not the place of America to feed the Palestinians; it is the responsibility of the Palestinians. If they desired more fertile land, perhaps they should have squatted on Egyptian lands and terrorized them. Except in the Muslim world it is fine to do so to Jews and Christians, but Allah forbid they try this on Muslims.
I say let Hamas prove to their people they have their best interests in mind. By allowing them to spend their own cash on food and industry, and try to actually improve the condition in the area versus stealing it from Israel. Why should America send them any cash at all?
They burn our flags, they scream obscenities at us, they vow vengeance against us, and they raise their children from the womb to hate and kill us. It is simply stupid to give these people money while being run by an organization listed as one of the largest terror groups in the world. If the Broadview Mosque or CAIR sends cash, we boot them out of the nation as well. ANYONE aiding and abetting Hamas right now should be placed on that list and blackballed as well. And now they even prove their arrogance and ignorance by claiming the demands of all those who support them are unrealistic. Is it unrealistic to stop genocidal behavior? Or is it unrealistic to lay down the terror and live like human beings? To Hamas it is, when they say things like that individual did.
Personally, I say send them supplies they cannot deny came from America. And let the Israelis dole it out to them, feeding and clothing their children. Let it be served under a huge American flag undeniable as to the origin. And perhaps even if Hamas refuses to open their eyes at least we can hope the next generation will see who their friends are.
And maybe the Liberals will stop blaming America for Palestinians who are out of work and hungry. It is a hard bet whose eyes would open first, the Palestinians or the Liberals.
But at least it’s a start.
