#1 says cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority will encourage terrorism

but giving money to terrorists will help curb terrorism. It's logic only a "liberal" could grasp.

#2 Yep, 2b-it's the new math. Give aid? Terror increases. Withhold aid? Terror increases.

The new math-the next indispensable invention from the great society of Islam.

#3 I guess the begging cup going around the rest of the Arab world to support their Pali brothers came back with a dust bunny and 25 cents.

#4 "Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, says cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority will encourage terrorism." I wonder what would happen if you graphed the rate of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians as a function of the volume of aid that flows to Palestine.

#5 "Hamas was elected by the Palestinian people and Israel must recognise that it can form a new government. The renunciation of Hamas of violence and its recognition of preceding engagements (in peace talks) is for a second stage," Mubarak said

Well there you go. EU money flows freely to Hamas without any concessions on the part of Hamas. No demand to recognize Israel - just a demand for Israel to recognize Hamas as a "gubermint".

"... is for the second stage>" Sometime, way in the future, maybe, if Israel is still around.

The EU will buy into this. I'm hoping the States won't and Canada will hold fast as well. Sorry, but recognition alone is a two-way street.

Eu is folding on Iran, folding on Hamas, folding on free speech and folding on one-law-for-all. WTF?

#6 While they at it, the EU should take over from USA the financing of Egypt.
