US Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States will provide an additional $75 million (£46 million) in aid to create Palestinian jobs and help them improve roads, schools and other infrastructure.
US officials say the aid is designed to boost Palestinian public support for faltering peace talks with Israel by showing them tangible benefits from the process.
Kerry announced the aid in Bethlehem, where he is meeting Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. Kerry earlier met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
The new aid brings the US contribution to a Palestinian infrastructure programme to $100 million (£62 million).
There is no state of Palestine...yet.
This is money to appease the Palis for about 3 months, then they’ll be angry all over again.
This is a failed nation state LONG before it becomes an official failed nation state.
STOP FUNDING THE PLO.
The funds will go where they’ve ALWAYS gone, private Swiss bank accounts for the top PLO leadership.
The State Dept refuses to help the women in Saudi Arabia,
or the girls sold in Syria, or those crucified in Egypt,
BUT WILL FUND more murders of Israelis and Americans
*(INCLUDING THEIR OWN AMBASSADOR) !!!!
If Russian manages to reestablish a naval base in Egypt, if the US holds Israel back from attacking Iran, if Saudi Arabia and other supposed US allies in the region give up on the US, it will mean the end of US presence in the region.
The only folks that Obama will be able to bully is Israel and even they have REAL red lines.
Rome fell when it began paying hordes blackmail money. They were never satisfied and just came back wanting more and more until Rome was in ruin. Why dowe ontinue to bleed ourselves dry when there are so many in need here in the U.S.?
Obama suckered again. With our money. Again.
Post WWII concept that we are still abiding by.
Up until January 2009 we were a superpower.
Since the end of the Bush era and the start of the “Great Retreat” (the Obama years) we combined foreign policy with military policy and foreign aid.
Foreign aid is always supposed to bolster friends in need or “buy” new friends.
Some countries took the aid and then spit in our faces (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and various Arab states).
Other countries took our foreign aid and performed all kinds of positive feedback, INTEL and trade with the US where both parties benefited (Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Eastern Europe, etc.).
Now that the US is in dire economic straights she needs to prioritize her interests but what is she doing in the current administration? The exact opposite.
Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qiaeda, the PLO, Iran and Libyan elements, all hostile to the US. The main US fallacy is based on the “MODERATE” Muslim concept where the US supports the PLO terror group, while NOT supporting the HAMAS terror group. The aims of both of these terror groups is to kill Americans and Israelis - that is what they live for.
The US is dissing reliable friends like Israel while throwing money at our enemies.
This is Obama’s legacy - utter failure and worse, NO RESPECT.
End result: loss of super power status, wasted funds on hopelessly murderous, insane Muslim Arabs.
You can still bomb them without hurting Israelis...actually, the Israelis might join in ;-)
Swiss bankers must be pleased.
No such country as palestine. Fox’s Doocy just said palestine. WTH!
> End result: loss of super power status, wasted funds on hopelessly murderous, insane Muslim Arabs.
As planned by The One.
Arafart and his top PLO leadership have lots to fall back on if/when the HAMAS overthrows them in the West Bank.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Bring back American manufacture.
Stop buying everything from China.
Our taxes for these murderers squandered by the murderer in the White House.
Then we need to enact trade tariffs.
China now exports more than America. And China is growing quickly. China is taking the lead, and we are helping them big-time.
Bring back American manufacturing.
To America.
