World Bank gives Palestinians $25 million
2007-02-03
RAMALLAH, West Bank - The World Bank signed an agreement on Friday to give $25 million to poor Palestinians hit hard by a Western aid embargo of the Hamas-led government.
Coincidentially, American contributions to the World Bank have decreased by $25 million.
The funds for health care and other services will be disbursed through Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s office rather than through Hamas-controlled government ministries. “The focus of our technical and financial assistance is to facilitate the delivery of the basic services to vulnerable families,” said World Bank managing director Juan Jose Da Boob Daboub after signing the agreement at Abbas’s office in Ramallah.

Rafiq al-Husseini, AbbasÂ’s chief of staff, said the World Bank promised to disburse an additional $150 million by the end of 2007 to fund a range of projects, from sanitation to road improvements.

#3  All of which will be blown up in the Trucefire™. Don't these guys pay attention?

"These guys" hope that, at least some, of the money would be used to kill Jews.

#2  Exactly, Steve. It's Osama's "perfect plan" for the victory of Islam.
Continue jihadi destruction everywhere it can be carried out; use western guilt over (Islam-caused) post-battle ruin to fund rebuilding projects; blow up the rebuilds; repeat again and again to weaken the West until Islam has the upper hand in enough "allies'" lands. Eventually, demographically favored Islam vanquishes the financially and morally-compromised West. That is, unless we put a spoke in the wheel-seems like raising the bar for rebuilding might be worth considering, that is, if we are serious about winning this.

#1  Hey, World Bank. I could use $25 million.
I'll make a deal with you. I'll only keep a million and flush 24 down the toilet.
Believe me, that's a better deal then you'll get from the Pali's. They'll flush the whole 25.
