Arafat aide accuses U.S. of ’blackmail’
2004-02-05

Excerpts from Wash Times version of the previous AP post...
Yasser Arafat’s security chief in the West Bank yesterday accused the United States of "blackmail," citing its threat to suspend peace efforts until Palestinians arrest those behind the slaying of three U.S. officials in the Gaza Strip last year.
"huh? you mean the PA isn’t free to kill diplomats?"
*Money Quote Alert*
"The Americans are pressuring everybody, even some Arab countries, not to pay the Palestinian people," Mr. Rajoub said.
someone please tell me, what the HELL have the "palestinian people" been doing to earn a check? they must have us confused with saddam, we don’t pay parents to wrap their kids in c4 and blow up jooos
The Palestinian Authority, whose facilities have been depleted by repeated Israeli demolitions,
(running out of bullets and explosives, maybe it’s time for another telethon)
receives 60 percent of its annual budget in assistance from Arab countries and the European Union. A cutoff in foreign aid is likely to cause the body to collapse.
*SNIP* blah blah, more seething and whining by this mutt; I can’t believe these parasites think they’re entitled to a handout; where do they think they are, San Francisco? it appears Cause and Effect will never penetrate their skulls

But Israel, puhleeze, don't stop whacking the Paleo terrorist leaders! More of that too, please!

Yumm. Just like Lay's potato chips.
