| Palestinian leaders condemn EU, US aid cuts |
| 2006-04-08 |
| Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya and President Mahmoud Abbas have lashed out at the US and EU decision to halt direct financial aid to the Palestinian Authority. Mr Haniya, a senior member of the Islamic radical Hamas movement, described the decisions as "hasty and unjust" after a meeting with Mr Abbas. "The world should respect the choice of the Palestinian people," Mr Haniya said. Mr Abbas said "the Palestinian people should not be punished for their democratic choice". Mr Abbas said by cutting the aid, the United States and European Union were "punishing all the people, workers and families". |

| #10 When the majority of a population supports and votes into power a terrorist government, the resulting embargoes and boycotts no longer represent "collective punishment." There is an insufficient number of innocent participants to qualify for that term. Other novel and for more descriptive terms apply, like: Just Desserts Poetic Justice Eat Sh!t and Die Motherf*ckers P!ss up a Rope Go F*ck a Rock And the all-time audience favorite: Dirty Rotten Stupid Bleeding Palestinian B@stards |

| #6 Still stupid after all these years. Democratically elected terrorists are still terrorists. And so are the people who elected them. Bad democratic choice. Good thing about democracy - which they haven't caught on to (in Iraq either) is that an elected party can be democratically chucked out. Non confidence. Pals don't chuck them out - they are the terrorists they elected. Very, very, very simple turnaround. Renounce violence, keep your promises and recognize valid countries. Basic rules of life for a democracy. It's impossible to reason with the insane. Shouldn't try. |

| #5 Hungry and thirsty Ismail and Mo? Pork ribs and sweet taters on the braii at my house tonight. Maybe some milk tart for dessert. Washing it all with a few pints of chilled Guinness. It will be a very civilized evening. Toss that AK in the dumpster and come on over for some real good chow! |

| #3 "Mr Abbas said by cutting the aid, the United States and European Union were "punishing all the people, workers and families"." By George, I think he's got it! Here's a clue, Abby - when your "people, workers and families" give up Jew-murder as their "jobs" and act like human beings, things might change. Until then, tough shit. You hungry? Eat explosives, bullets, and rockets. You've certainly got a bumper crop. |
