I guess I'm supposed to insult you right back. Is that how this childish game works? How old are you?

Back on topic. I just proved that this US "aid" to Palestinians does not actually aid any Palestinians except a brutal unpopular dictator. Typically 75% goes directly towards renting and arming Abbas mercenaries. Likely a significant amount of the other 25% spent on "projects" ends up in Abbas's personal bank account.

Fifty million of those funds was to go toward ongoing projects, and $150 million was pegged for Palestinian security services...
Why the Palestinians might reject U.S. aid - The Washington Post


A Palestinian viewpoint regarding this US "aid" to Palestinians:
Action alert: Kick Dayton and his mercenaries out of Palestine | The Electronic Intifada

...The US Palestinian Community Network is appalled that the government of the United States not only continues its unconditional support for Israel, but has engaged in establishing Palestinian contra forces in the West Bank, aimed at deepening Palestinian internal division and engaging in arbitrary arrests and assassinations of political activists. We demand an immediate end to all such programs and the immediate withdrawal of US Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton and his mercenaries from Palestine!

Americans should stop sending "aid" to Abbas. Americans claim to observe democratic values. They should support the Palestinians right to a popular elected government, even if its one they don't like.
