New Report Analyses European Aid to Palestinians - Finds Evidence of Foul Play

#6  I think that we should slap another study on this, to be sure. Then we can turn it into a connex of dead trees, CD ROMs, and it's a wrap.

Then we can go onto talking about the EU terrorism czar and how much annual leave and other fringe benefits the position should have.

#4  Yet, when you google "Funding for Peace Coalition," the folks who wrote the report, ONLY FOUR ARTICLES show up. Contrast that with 7200 for "Hamas."

This will never get any traction. The EU has too much of a vested interest in making sure the paleos are supported. That, plus any concrete evidence that they support terror, and Israeli families would be able to sue, which would create too much chaos (and even MORE anti-Israel backlash).

Nothing will come of this. Too much petrowhoring going on.

#3  The report is the first step in allowing victims of Paleo terror to sue the EU for wrongful death.

Several US courts have already shown themselves to be go venues for this and several attorneys have cases just waiting to be filed.

#1  "FPC’s work raises the following major issues, each of which strike at the very sprit and letter of the European Union’s Constitution:

* European aid has not reached its intended target – the Palestinian people. It has been diverted towards graft, terrorism and incitement to hatred.

* Despite repeated denials from senior European politicians and civil servants, terrorists are on the Palestinian Authority payroll. This includes, in particular, members of the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades who have openly admitted their direct roles in acts of murder. The salaries of these murderers come directly from budgets provided by European government aid, even though the Al-Aksa Brigades have been officially classified as terrorists by Europe.

* European taxpayers’ funds have not been managed transparently in everything connected with aid to the PA and to the Palestinian people. The facts have been concealed and continue to be concealed from European taxpayers.

* The methods used to fund the PA might even be considered to be money laundering."


I look for the EU to pencil whip another probe and issue itself a clean bill of health.
