#1 Call me weird but HAMAS threatening to destroy one of the future Palestinian State's vital sources of revenue and econ development, i.e the hand that feeds the PA, kinda makes people or Govts. reluctant to keep supporting them.

#2 They're still working on that cause -> effect / choices -> consequences thingy. A bridge too far...

#3 I've never understood why the Israelis continued a policy of feeding, clothing and arming people whose repeatedly sworn desire is to see every Jew in Israel dead or banished. If the Muzzy scumbags want war to the knife, give it them. "When it's time to shoot, shoot. Don't talk!" The election of Hamas means it's time to shoot.

#4 "The Palestinian Authority has faced a serious financial crisis since the start of the month," Abbas told reporters.

Whatever.

#5 Israeli Cabinet decision puts PA in 'financial crisis'

Any financial impact from the Israeli cabinet's decision is a fart in a windstorm compared to longterm economic damage done by the PA's endemic corruption. Electing Hamas to solve the problem was like putting out a fire with gasoline.

#6 Western logic doesn;t apply.

That there would be a "financial crisis" never occurred to the average Paleo. That their "cause", which has always served the Ditatorships and Thugocracies and Monarchies and Mullacracies and Theocracies of the Arab and Muzzy World as the favored "Passion Play" and diversion, wouldn't be fully funded and kept alive is still beyond their ken. Those that didn't top off their Swiss accounts are in for a shock, methinks. The avg Paleo is going to get precisely what they've asked for - and they'll have to live with it - and / or die for it.

I'll take "Die For It" for $100, Alex.
