| EU won't give PA aid before adhering to demands |

| The European Union will not transfer funds directly to the Palestinian Authority until it recognizes Israel, renounces violence and respects previously signed agreements, Israel Radio reported overnight Thursday. The EU, Louis Michel, the commissioner for development and humanitarian aid told reporters in Tel Aviv, will continue to provide aid to the Palestinians by transferring money to sources not affiliated to the Authority. Officials estimate that the Palestinians will receive approximately 34 million US dollars every month. Michel had met earlier Thursday with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. |

| #5 "The EU, Louis Michel, the commissioner for development and humanitarian aid told reporters in Tel Aviv, will continue to provide aid to the Palestinians by transferring money to sources not affiliated to the Authority." Money if fungible. With the negligible level of oversight over how it is spent there we can be sure it will find its way into the pockets of those we should never give a nickel to. |

| #2 So they won't give aid to the "Authority", but they will give aid -- lots of it -- to the individuals who happen to work for the authority administering things. Goody. |
