#1 Regardless of how it will be implemented, the Arab decision is above all a message to the Americans. There is anger in the region at the way the US used its veto to pre-empt a Security Council resolution condemning Israel's offensive in Gaza this week, in which 18 civilians were killed.

Yoo hoo ... Weren't those the 18 "civilians" who bought it because they were in a house where massive amounts of explosives were stored?

Or were these the 18 killed while they raced to provide human shields for terrorists who were attempting to escape a mosque where they had holed up?

Either way, my heart pumps piss.

#2 It's the Arab's tar-baby, let them maintain it. The "Arab Street" is irrelevant, classic Beeb strawman BS, as they will always hate us (hell, everyone not paying jizya) regardless. The phoney Arab allies' (lol) criticism was ignored - thanks Bush - and that's a sound policy to continue... for two more years, anyway. Nothing would be (has been) gained by attempting the usual State Dept accommodation and appeasement - and much $$$ would be wasted in the farce.

#5 The arabs might get them a meager one-time payment, but I doubt that they are going to put them on the gravy train. Better them than us anyway. We can put that aid money to better use, like for people who want peace and progress and a better life. The palestinians make their living by being victims, take that away and they are just jobless assholes like everyone else in the region.

#6 If Egypt is giving aid, then obviously they don't need all the aid we send them. Let's cut it 2-for-1.

#7 Let 'em use their Big Mo Widows-n-Orphans Fund for, y'know, actual widows and orphans.

#8 This is part of the same 'deal' (or more accurately deal in process that will probably not be completed) that will require the PA to sit in on a conference (or seminar or meeting or symposium or someting) between reps from the Arab League and Israel.

The Arab states had been sending funds to the PA previously and they will continue doing so in the future. The amount of funds and who the check is made out to is dependent on a lot of things. The Saudis have certain favorite guys in the PA; the Egyptians do too (not the same). The Jordanians won't send more than token amounts partly because they don't have much money and partly because they don't trust very many people in the PA. It goes on and on.
