The U.S. fears that without a cash injection, the Palestinian Authority could collapse, entailing serious security implications for Palestinians and Israelis.

Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the issue Saturday with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in London.

Kerry said the possibility of the Palestinian government halting security cooperation with Israel or disbanding because of its economic predicament was real.

The U.S. is trying to find a solution. …

If the terrorists in Gaza need cash — why not go to Qatar.

Private individuals there are funding ISIS in a greater amounts than even the “moderates” in Saudi Arabia

Gee, if the PA is faltering, and the US is haltering, mebbe Israel ought to go Galt-ering, with anything PA on it, once Israel is done, looking like ‘xxit’, when Israel is done with her gun!

The question remains: Would there be more or less chaos and brutality if the PA collapsed? And, how would we know?

Though it burns my ass to give one cent to these goat humpers, the best predictor of future events is past events...

On face value creating a vacuum by letting the PA collapse is probable a bad idea...

Considering nature abhors a vacuum, something probably a lot worse than the PA will occupy that vacuum...

They produce nothing but terror and little terrorists. Every thing Israel left for them they destroyed. Most money given to the area went into tunnels to attack Israel. They are but Arab rejects and neighboring Arab countries want little to nothing to do with them. It makes no sense for us to borrow money to pay them.

Other than Obama’s panties getting in a wad, is there a down side to the impending crash?

the PA (sic) just takes foreign $$ and splits it...
half they steal and the rest they pay terrorists to shoot Jews and Christians

so naturally Obama/Kerry want to flush another few billion USD’s down the PA sewer

Since the Palestinian Authority is collapsing, what difference will it make to the Palestinians if Bibi Netanyahu loses the upcoming Israel election and the new pacifist Herzog/Livna coalition gives away the West Bank, as it’s been dreaming of doing for decades? All it will mean is that the Palestinian Authority will have more land to collapse on.

Israel IS the “Palestinian Authority”.

Give them all the money they need. The bombing begins in 15 minutes.

Is there ANY problem that this Administration cannot "solve" by giving more of your money to the wrong people?

Guys...go a year without trying to kill Jews, put the money we DO give you to starting businesses and stop listening to hatemongers...and maybe THEN, we give you more. Maybe.
