#1 and you thought Chutzpah was only a yiddish word....

#2 I rather suspect the only recognition Hamas will get from the Israelis is the lock-on tone from the target acquisition system.

As for the Paleos, maybe we could send them shovels so they can dig themselves even deeper into their self-created hole.

#3 --the Americans should be ready with the World Bank and other donors to make massive economic support for the Palestinian Authority," --

And we're supposed to pay, too!?

#4 Shaath said the funds were needed for "relief, reconstruction, economic activities, labor and job creation, and others."

Emphasis on "and others".
Fuck 'em.

#5 I tried to post this wth comments a couple of hours ago and hit some bug. The substance of my comments was that is more phantasy nonsense where the Paleos actually believe they deserve a few more billion dollars to squander. We don't have oil but we are Arabs and therefore people should give us large amount of money. Islam is a cargo cult,

#6 Better than my comments Phil B. Well done.

#8 It's not Chutzpah, but Jizya. And they do expect the infidels to pay them.

#9 Rewrite this classic in Paleo terms...

"If a man once indulges himself in murder,
very soon he comes to think little of robbing;
and from robbing he next comes to drinking
and sabbath-breaking, and from that to
incivility and procrastination.
-Thomas DeQuincy"

It prolly ends with "seething"...

#10 Actually, they probably expect the EU and the Arab states to pay. Both of these groups have been shelling out for years and are pretty tired of it.

#11 Wow. Like the Shia in Iraq recently, they don't see any inconsistency in trashing/attacking the US while holding their hand out and demanding US cash. Clearly, some parts of their brains are not communicating with others. I think it is fair to call this CRAZY. Not much hope for them until they achieve some degree of sanity.

#12 Let Arafat pay them -- he has stolen enough money from them that he owes them big time. Or let Egypt pay them -- that would be neighborly, brotherly, and a fine act of Muslim charity. But not one damned dime from me!

#13 First the PA establishes accountability. That will be a huge job, given their history.
Then they will have to present a plan, with milestones.
Then we will review the plan, put in our comments, and send them back our recommendations.

If we decide to fund, they will first have to implement. We review, and if progress is made, then we reimburse them, after an audit is done on their operations.

Then we go to the next step in the PLAN.

Before we give even one thin dime in reimbursement, the PA will have to change their overall philosophy.

That is a big, hairy step for the PA. They can do it or they can FOAD. Like Fred sez, "it's no skin off my fore." They can rant and rave, lie and cheat, but WE are the bank and it is our money. So we can do what we want. Laying guilt trips may work on the Dems but it is getting old and ineffective now, in a post 9-11 world, olde chap.

#18 These morons had better clean out Arafat's bank account of all those millions he stole before coming to the world community for a handout. Not a single penny should be forthcoming until they have done this.
