Money to an Islamic terrorist regime which views the US as "big satan" and Israel as "little satan" and brainwashes the children in its schools and mosques to murder Jews and Christians.

Ping.

Isn't that what Mrs. Arafat gets a month from the Palis?

[SaveTheChief]

The Palestinian abuse of the American goodwill can only last so long. I hope...

[Coop]

Good grief.

You know sometimes I don`t undersand Bush at all. Between the illegal alien thing and now this, what the hell is he thinking? The damn PLO needs money, let them get it from ARAFATS WIFE WHO IS LIVING IN A TOILET CALLED PARIS AS A MULTI MILLIONAIRE FROM MONEY STOLEN FROM THE PLO! Doh!

[Grzegorz 246]

It wouldn't be bad If they got for example medicines worth $20 million, but giving them cash is not a good idea.

[rabidralph]

Maybe if they got jobs instead of blowing things up, they'd have a growing economy.

[alessandrofiaschi]

It's an unendurable and wasteful choice!!! Where are Arafat's treasure? Give Palestinians that, not our money!

[Imaverygooddriver]

"Darling, he gave them $20 mill so you don`t have to return the money now. Congratualtions."

[TommyDale]

I wonder what small percentage will actually help aid the Palestinians, and what huge percentage will be used to manufacture more suicide bombs?

This is an attempt by Bush and his administration to change the PA from a terrorist supporting organization to a truly functioning democracy. If the PA switches from the Arafat teat to the US teat, it will start a competition with the PA. The Iranian influence will be lessened, and it gives the US a much stronger hand in guiding PA policy.

This is a good idea by Bush - at least worth a try. It's only 20 mil, and the potential benefit is huge.

We have become our own worst enemy.

There are times when I think that the irony of it all is that we are becoming too deserving of our own destruction.

[Ashamed Canadian]

This is disgusting because no matter what America does, you will always be hated by these people. When America acts, America is hated, when America steps back, America is blamed for the end result (usually bad). America cannot win against the world wide slander campaign aimed against it.

[leadpencil1]

I doubt Bush sat down at his desk and said "Let's see, I want to give the PA $20M dollars today. Where is my check book?". While I disagree with the donation, I'm sure it was cranked out of the government bureaucracy.

Also, the editors of the article must have been gleeful to title the piece "Bush Gives Palestinians $20 Million".

"Sewer, I heard le Bush gave you $20 million! lovely!"

 

[kellynla]

I love the way politicians throw our hard earned tax dollars around like it was theirs to give. LMAO
I don't recall hearing W ask if he could give twenty mil to the Palestinians???

Until the Palestinians realize that there are consequences for their actions, they will continue to terrorize.
And paying their utility bills for them while they bomb the neighborhood and murder is not going to make them aware of the consequences of their actions....

Their economic straits will never improve as long as people are getting blown up in the neighborhood...

It's really not rocket science, folks.

[First_Salute]

"Palestinian Authority is facing a severe financial crisis" because the estate of Arafat, has all the money.

[Alouette]

The Palestinian Authority is facing a severe financial crisis due to Suha Arafat not giving the passcodes to Yasser's offshore bank accounts.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

Well, IMHO, I am more deserving...
