| #3 Same rules should apply to all Kleptocracies, Palestine, Louisiana, UN. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give cash to the locals. If you must give aid, give it in kind or under the direct supervision of someone accountable and trustworthy. Don't pour money down a rathole. |

| #2 It's not just EU insanity. Why is U.S. doubling aid to Palestinians? The following are reported plans to finance a potential Palestinian state: * From the United States: Doubling the present $275 million to $550 million – this after Palestinians have already received $1.5 billion (and how much of that was stolen by the late Yasser Arafat?) * In May, President Bush pledged $50 million in direct U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority to build housing and other infrastructure in Gaza once Israel completes its disengagement. * From the Group of Eight countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, Russia and the U.S.): $3 billion more to the Palestinian Authority to help with Gaza's reconstruction. * From Israel: an agreement in principle to allow the P.A. to construct a seaport, and rebuild the Gaza Airport – as well as a possible trade corridor between Gaza and Hebron as existed before the second Palestinian uprising in 2000. * From Arab states: "Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will seek to rally Arab financial support at a summit of the 22-member Arab League expected in September or October." |

| #1 "The utter destruction wrought by Palestinian mobs and the total failure of the Palestinian Authority to save from vandals and looters - even the greenhouses and industrial center that would have provided 26,000 jobs for a needy populace, will make well-intentioned outside bodies think twice before offering development and reconstruction assistance." Nope, the EU will just cough up more aid money. It will go to Abbas and his cronies, and then the Euro-media will blame the plight of the poor, poor Paleos on the Jooos. |
