I'm sorry to keep posting items here, people, because I'm sure there are plenty of other things to read, but I just couldn't resist this one: "Amidst Europe’s worst economic crisis in recent memory, the European Parliament (EP) has just decided to raise Europe’s aid to the Palestinians by €100 million - 30 percent more than previous years." The rest of the article, written by Emanuele Ottolenghi and Jonathan Schanzer, can be found here:

If I remember correctly at least a portion of this money comes from us, dammit.
I believe that US donations go through a different channel and are not reported in this article.
I can think of better uses for the money!
He! 100 M simoleons? You are not kidding.
A drop in the bucket. Just wait. In a year or so the EU could be asking the Fakistinians for the money back.
Be glad to see it happening.
From the article:
"The EU budget decision was sealed just days before a highly anticipated summit between Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and Khaled Meshal of Hamas – a designated terrorist group in the EU."
In other words - "let's give the PA an advantage, maybe Hamas will bite and enter a unity government, this way we'll have two terrorist oranizations leading the Palestinians. Yippee!"
Er... that too, I guess.
