***I don’t know why more countries aren’t trying to get rich on US dollars with this strategy.***

More countries are. The largest democratic country, China, wait they’re communist, gets 4 billion from the US each year under an Import-Export Bank(US funded) Loan at little to ZERO interest. The hope is China turns around and buys US goods with these dollars.

All you have to do is be a threat to the US and the money pipeline starts flowing.

How about just 50K for GA (my initials). Much cheaper and I am already a loyal to "our" cause.

ImpBill, that’s your problem in a nutshell, you are “loyal to our cause”. If you are against the “cause”, money flows your way.

Why don’t we just take it all and build a nice fire in the back yard and roast hot dogs. It would do more good.

Unfortunately is looks that way. Anything for a legacy...or an attempted legacy.

I want my share back of that $500,000. PA leaders just keep the bloodbath going, continue the suffering amongst their people, and enrich themselves.

I pray that God exacts a singularly horrific judgment on these corrupt PA leaders- past, present, and future.

Talk about perpetuating the "cycle of violence".

Why the US or Europe should give a dime to prop up the PA is beyond me.

“Why question it with disbelief now”?
You would have thought we’d learned better by now.

That will buy a lot of weapons and ammunition to kill Israelis and when the opportunity presents itself, Americans.
