#2 this contradicts what Condi said. I wonder if Welch has the authority to say this.

#3 They have had 58 years for finding jobns and building an economy. INstead thety are still living of international dole. It is utterly immoral to send humanitarian aid to Palestinians when people are starving in Darfur and getting MUCH lower aid if any.

Not a single cent of Western aid should go to Paleonistan. Let them eat bombbelts.

#4 "It is our belief that it is important for the people in the Palestinian territories ... to have a good life in safety and security with economic wellbeing," Welch added.

They only kill Jews.

#5 Not true, gromgoru, as I know that you know well.

They kill each other - esp. Sunnis killing Shia - quite regularly.

#6 Aid money which goes directly to the individual/agency rather through the blackhole hands of the PA or Hamas is still aid. Wonder how long it will take the idiots to connect the dots when the real hand providing assistance is US and not a terrorist go between. Particularly when the aid is cut off just at the appropriate moment. Teaching cause and effect at the most basic level.

#7 Scream at your arab brothers for money.

On principle, Pals should reject Satan's money. Start screaming about the lack of muslim support. Why only whine about the lack of your enemies support for you?

#8 I love the "nuance" in this statement. Why don't we just change the name of the department to "the Department of Appeasement"?

#9 In other words, 80% of US aid is untouchable. Money is fungible. Let the Arabs and Iranians spend their money feeding them rather than paying for attacks.

Another bit of trivia, 60% of Pali GDP is from foreign aid. That means the aid money is not even circulated one time before it is stolen/leaves the area and the Palis produce almost zilch.

#10 What means does the average American have to verify that any future aid is only humanitarian aid? Or are we just supposed to trust that the State Department will identify and stop other projects/aid? Who is carrying out America's will that no money go to fund terrorists and how can regular folks verify it?

#12 Well, immunizations, at least. Considering how angry that makes some people, it's something we should do.
