#2 For greater efficiency the EU should establish the position of Permanent Secretary for Appeasement. Perhaps Jacques Chirac or Dominique de Villepin (who is a man) could fill the role.

#4 This would be a good time for the US to reduce aid by another $150 miilion.

#5 When I see photos of Paletinian child they look, of anything, overweight.

In the meantime the starving populations of Darfur and South Sudan will get nothing.

Why are we giving money to the bastards who theretened us during the acrtoons riots?

#6 I *was* heartened when the EU actually called off the spigot, but now they're back to their old stupid tricks.

JFM, maybe the people of Darfur should start threatening to blow up the Louvre. I'm sure the EU would find cash to send to them in about three hours if they did.

#7 The European Commission has been trying to draw up a mechanism that would see funds reaching Palestinians in need without money going directly to the Hamas-led government

This from the folks that watched al-Zahar walk 20 mil in right under their noses. I'm sure all that went to baby formula and Dick and Jane books...

#8 I rather like ed's suggestion in #4.

If the EU wants to support Hamas ad infinitum, so be it - you can't fix insanity. The Arabs who have been so slow to help will certainly apreciate it. The Persian Mullahs, well, their sun will soon set.

Regardless, not another penney of US aid should go into PaleoWorld. Nothing. They voted for terror, let them continue to eat, drink, and dream terror. That is the only thing they actually get right, anyway. Just no longer on my dime, please.

#9 Perhaps the homegrown islamonuts have threatened riots and mayhen if money to Hamas isn't turned back on tout de suite.

Appeasement tactic - o surrender monkeys - and you should know by now just how well "appeasing" terrorists works. But, too scared to think straight, it seems.

#10 Yes, but will the Palestinian banks transfer it, if it means being cut off from the US system? They haven't thus far...

#11 tw - that's probably the new twist - bypassing the banks somehow.

#12 Dear EUros, your grandparents---who were rounding Jews on behalf of Nazis---also thought that they're safe from retaliation. We've very long memories.

#13 The EU has become a monster.

The reason Arab countries don't "help" the Palestinians has nothing to do with reluctance, greed, etc. It's because the money coming from non-Muslim countries isn't "aid" or "assistance" or "charity" -- it's tribute.

And why should Arab nations pay tribute to another Arab nation?

#15 Any US Paleo aid should be redirected to Israel's Wall Fund

Good idea. The PSA. Would streamline funding to the Paleos. Too bad that they cannot fly those suitcases of money directly to Gaza International.

#17 "Bomb Brussels!" - the new agenda of Hamas, to get more money.

I'm all for the first, just not the second.
