Aid to 'Palestinians' promotes violence
With President Obama having promised the 'Palestinians' another $400 million this week, Michael Rubin reminds us what the consequences of providing aid to the 'Palestinians' have been in the past. Here's the bottom line: Infusions of foreign funds into the Palestinian Authority budget from late 2000 through 2002 correlated with increased violence. Increased aid in 2005 and 2006 corresponded to increasing internal violence, which is consistent with the fact that money was still finding its way to militant groups to purchase weapons and pay the salaries of the expanding militias.Read it all.
Although the correlation does not prove cause and effect or provide irrefutable evidence of a direct link, it seems likely that increased aid helps sustain Palestinian violence in several ways: by creating the opportunity to divert funds for militant activities; by insulating the Palestinian leadership from the fiscal consequences of the economic fallout from terrorism; and by creating a revenue surplus that allows the Palestinian government both to pay for salaries and programs and to funnel money to terrorists. As Western donors prepare to pour unprecedented amounts of money into the PA, more discussion is needed to explain what controls will be imposed to ensure that the aid is not diverted to terrorists or used to fund a broader conflict with Israel.

Innate hate for Jews is why we stand on the doorstep of the abyss.
Rewarding Palestinians for terror is one of the oldest dances around.
History shows us sleeping with the House of Saud even destroys the best of them whose once clear vision of what is right and what is wrong is why Israel is treated worse then the blackest of black sheep.
Crazy, Obama does not understand why Turkey gave such an enormous slap to the U.S in their non sanction vote on Iran same as Palestinians gave George W. Bush the good ol'march of the nazi goosestep in thank- you for the billions to train their so-called security forces.
How can such educated men (who know better) put the screws to Israel post 9-11, war on terror by rewarding the Palestinians so graciously?
The difference between a sheep and a wolf only lies on the outside. We know where we stand with the wolf. Our wolf is Obama. What paved the road for Obama however was a sheep.
When will we learn?
