Quartet renews assistance to Palestinians
2006-12-23
An agreement was reached Friday to extend US, European, UN and Russian assistance to Palestinians that bypasses Hamas, the militant group that plays a dominant role in the Palestinian government.

In a statement issued by the so-called Quartet, the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia, the Palestinians' benefactors said the Palestinians were in need and encouraged donors to respond to UN and other requests. The program, adopted after Hamas' election victory in January, provides for direct assistance to the Palestinians and their programs. In the past year, the United States has contributed about $450 million (€341.1 million).

#8  I support renewed monetary aid for the Paleos. But only if the aid is converted to coins and dropped from orbit.

#6  Why not just burn the money instead? It'd be a lot less destructive.

#5  I thought that Condi Rice was smarter than this. Better take the money and throw it off the Washington Monument than flush it down this open sewer.

#3  It gets us nothing, because the Palestinians can't be responsible for anything and will excel at that.

#1  So this is in addition to the $450 million the US has already given to the Paleos this year. The Paleos do nothing but idle and seethe every day on American and Euro money, breeding and plotting to kill the infidels. Then Americans will have spend another 100 times as much to kill them when the cute little Paleos grow up to be big islamic terrorists. Stop the stupidity you Federal Fucks and nip the problem in the bud.
