Obama lifts freeze on $192 million aid package to Palestinian Authority
Obama lifts freeze on $192 million aid package to Palestinian Authority | The Times of Israel

... and that would be who? the Palestinian people or Abbas?
My point is that Palestinians get about as much benefit from this "US Support" as the billions they pay to Israel's lunatic extremist leaders and dictators in Egypt and Jordan.


If the US wanted to help the Palestinian people, they'd give the money to the various NGO's that provide food clothing and medicine. Instead this money goes to pay Abbas's security and other servants... to help him safely live his opulent lifestyle...

I see, so who does the PA govern?

Prove your contention.

The PA is a self serving dictatorship. They don't govern anyone. they torture and shoot any Palestinains who oppose them. Most of this money buys arms and the only food it buys makes Abbas fatter...

If the US wanted to help the Palestinians, they'd stop 99% of the "aid" they generously give to the region and give the remaining 1% to the various NGOs who actually help Palestinians.

But the US has no interest in peace in the region while Israeli war criminals violently cleanse Palestine of Palestinians. Their aid contributes to the injustice and oppression suffered by millions of Palestinian civilians.

gerryh:

I suggest you read up on why Hamas won the last election:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/01/opinion/01iht-edsharan.html
Also notice the author is a member of Israel's Likud Party....

Only the US and Israel did not follow the OpEd author's advice. Instead the US and Israel initiated and armed a failed attempt the overthrow the democratically elected Palestinian government. I suggest you educate yourself on the purpose of US aid to Abbas:
The Gaza Bombshell | Politics | Vanity Fair

My point is that the US should not give any "aid" in the form of arms and bribe money to anyone. Instead the US and the world should impose an arms embargo on the region and support the various NGOs that actually improve the lives of Palestinians:
PNGO Network

It's inhumane, I tell ya.... Why those poor folk could get paper cuts from all that money they're being attacked with....
How does giving arms and bribe money to a brutal dictator help the average Palestinian?

What did this post have to do with US aid to dictator Abbas?
like I said, no surprise..... true to form.

I see what you're pissed off about. The money doesn't go to your hero's in hamas to replenish their arsenal.

True to form, you attack me and not my points... when you try to claim I support Hamas... Where did I write that here or on any thread?

You do, but that's ok.... I'm sure some newbie would see it your way... for awhile. The rest of us have been around long enough to see your one trick pony show with this thread being a prime example. The americans are finally releasing aid to Palestine and what do you do... bitch and complain. Like I said, no surprise, but that's not an attack. Calling you a useless bigoted brainless twat would be a personal attack, but I didn't do that....... this time.

I never attacked you until after you attacked me. If you don't attack me, then I won't attack you. But if you called me a useless bigoted brainless twat, then I would call you a child molesting wife beater... but I didn't do that... this time

Any aid the US gives to the "Palestinian Authority" buys arms and bribes a dictator. The only Palestinian who benefits from this "aid" is Abbas. Aid in the form of buying arms for Abbas, helps him maintain his iron grip on power and crush dissent. The Vanity Fair article is pretty clear about how the US aid for the "Palestinian Authority" improves the lives of Palestinians. I'm sure some of the latest shipment of bullets has already killed a dozen Palestinians by now. Meanwhile the remaining bribe money helps keep Abbas stocked up with caviar.

gerryh,

I'll admit I haven't got you figured out. Are you just another sleazy Israeli apologist who smears anyone that criticizes Israel with the anti-semitic Islamofacist labels or are you someone who is too dumb to tell the difference between what I write and what people write about me?

Back on topic, I support letting Abbas hang out to dry. If he is so popular with his people he shouldn't need any arms... But he who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword.

I support giving Palestinians food, clothing, shelter, education, freedom and justice. If they had these things neither side in this conflict would need arms or bribe money.

I have a plane to catch.... Last post for now....

I'd say that the fact that you haven't "figured me out" is more telling of your intelligence level and your ability to remember where I have always stood when it comes to people murdering people than anything else.



Forget it... you are not worth the effort. You're a terrorist apologist, plain and simple.

How does giving arms and bribe money to a brutal dictator help the average Palestinian?

How does your constant harping and sensationalism on a Canadian forum, many miles from the heart of the matter, help the average Palestinian? If anything, your propaganda clouds the facts and assists the horror in becoming commonplace.
