Another American-financed campaign for 'peace'
On Sunday, I reported that USAID was paying for billboards in Israel to try to convince Israelis that the 'Palestinians' are peace partners. As it turns out, there is also a second campaign for 'peace' being paid for by American tax dollars.Abbas’s speech came as the PA prepared to open a USfunded campaign to persuade the Palestinians to support the peace talks with Israel. Advertisements calling on the Palestinians to support the negotiations will be broadcast on PA-controlled TV and radio stations. Posters with the same message will appear on large billboards in most Palestinian cities.What no one told the Americans about is another, home-grown, more effective 'Palestinian' campaign for peace in their own inimitable style. This is from 'Palestinian television' controlled by Abu Mazen's 'Palestinian Authority' and it was broadcast this past Wednesday.
In addition to Abbas and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, several Palestinian officials have been recruited to the new campaign. Among them are Saeb Erekat, Yasser Abed Rabbo and Jibril Rajoub. Their main task is to explain to the Palestinians the importance of making peace with Israel, sources involved in the $250,000 campaign said.
Let's go to the videotape.
Those who believe that billboards with smiling 'Palestinian' leaders saying 'support the peace talks' are going to trump (or undo) generations of indoctrination that Israel has no right to exist are simply fooling themselves - at US taxpayers' expense and at Israel's peril.

The Palestinians educate their children to believe Israel will disappear one day and in its place there will be an Arab state from the River to the Sea.
There will be no peace in our lifetime.
Repeat after me
So again, we get typical Palestinian double-speak. The PA can say to the Americans look what steps we are making - plastering up highly visible -if ineffective- billboards that can be shown on American TV. Meanwhile, the poisoning of the next generation by TV programming that is much more visible to the populace -if not the American public - continues unabated. What do we bet that at least some of the billboards are in English?
what can be done to make the Tea Party aware of this wasteful spending? No one knows about this. The media in America won't talk about this. If you have not been to a Jewish blog, how would you know this is going on?
