The Zionist Puppet Strikes Again!!!
Ladies and Gentlmen, that's how you piss away 50 million bucks. The only people that will benifit from this money are companies that sell explosives and bomb belts... Bush ####ed this one up for sure....
Sometimes I think that the situation in the Middle East might be resolved some day, but it will probably take little baby steps like this.
I really really dislike Bush, but even I have to admit he has done something truly remarkable here.
If only we could turn down the volume of hate, from the Muslims and Christians. Both groups claim Jesus as a prophet, and my guess is that Jesus would be hopeful that this has occurred.
ichi :bow:
Wow! ~:eek: That's what the US gives to Israel every... about seven days.
I'm impressed. Amazing. What outstanding generosity.
It's not that remarkable. He's already too free with taxpayer money.Quote:

BBC, By Jeremy Cooke in Gaza
The Islamic Jihad is running a summer school - to teach boys the benefits of becoming suicide bombers.
A new generation of children, Palestinian boys aged between 12 and 15 years old, is growing up amid conflict and violence.
Teacher Mohammed el Hattab: Suicide bombers go to the highest state in paradise. The militant group has a sworn mission to wage a holy war against Israel. The boys are told not only that it is good to kill, but also that it is good to die. They learn that suicide bomb attacks have proved the most deadly way to hit the Israelis.
Mohammed, a 14-year-old boy, draws himself with explosives strapped to his body, ready to blow himself to pieces if it means killing Jews.
"Yes," he says, when asked if he wants to be a suicide bomber. "I want to liberate Palestine and be part of the revolution."
The boys are told that it is good to kill and good to die. The boys are shown pictures of those who have already died in the conflict with Israel. They are taught that to give their lives is to be guaranteed a place in heaven. And to be a suicide bomber is one of the highest forms of martyrdom. They will be greeted in paradise by 70 virgins.
"We are teaching the children that suicide bombing is the only thing that make the Israeli people very frightened. Furthermore, we are teaching them that we have the right to do it," said Islamic Jihad member Mohammed el Hattab, one of the teachers on the programme.
"We are teaching them that after the suicide attacks, the man who makes it goes to the highest state in paradise," he said.
All the more reason why money is needed for real schools, so children have an alternative to these propaganda centres.Quote:

I would agree with that but it would require that we direct where the money goes rather than allowing it to be used without restrictions.Quote:

Thats an especially cheap shot. :embarassed:Quote:

And thus ends the good news for the peace effort thread.. :no:
It's not that you're stil the bad guys, but this doesn't exectly make you the good guys either. $50M, in this context, is like letting the Palestinians look at a picture of your cousin while you're letting the Israelis bonk your wife. The US bears a much, much higher responsibility in this affair.Quote:

This bears a stricking resemblance to events from the past, in different eras, events that had tragic consequences.Quote:

Send neutral, third party engineers and doctors, paid for by the Americans, (and other Arab states if they can get off their lazy behinds) to start the process. The US can take the money out of the three billion a year Israel receives. Start a process that snowballs and becomes unstopable. Give the Palestinians a real taste of civilized life, not just a daydream from their prison existence. When they see and experience good hospitals, plentiful water, irrigation for crops, new homes (living in the bulldozed ones is very cramped I hear), neighbourhoods cleared of rubble, parks and greenspace, employment and opportunity, those are things they will not want to let go of too easilly. Those are the things that people need. Even Palestinians. ~;)
(Mind you, the Israeli armed forces might see the rebuilding as a sort of mission editior in a flight sim. Someone else creates a scenery file, the Palestinians download it and install it, then the Isreali air force blows it up again. Sorry, been playing IL2 too much. :dizzy2: )
I hope it falls in the right hands, I doubt it. Better not give money, build roads, schools, waterways, etc. These 50 million are destined to dissapear, it is very corrupt there.
Neither Isreal or Palestine deservs any support from any other country, since both nations act like racist, narro-minded bombhappy morons.Quote:

Pointless drop in the ocean. The place is a war zone. End curfews, checkpoints, air strikes and home demolitions and perhaps in 10 years time a normal economy and society can return to Palestine. The place is inoperable right now.
If we could make Idaho and Jag the leaders of Israel and Palestine.
Have everyone obey their rulers absolutely.
Then in a generation we would have a paradise.
Put Pindar and myself in charge and in a generation it would be a desert and two guys still going over the fine print of the negotiations. ~D
Pindar "But in common usage it always means this"
Papewaio "Since when did I say I was using common usage? And what do you define as common in this instance and season?"
Everyone else slowly backing off before they go numb...
Indeed I love a good catfight.Quote:

Is it just me or has my Idahoic friend been gone a long time?
Nice to have you back. You may whomp on my intellect at your pleasure. :bow:
Finally, the Palestinians will be able to buy toothpicks for each and every one of their citizens for a whole year! :tongueg:Quote:
Bush pledges $50 million to Palestinian Authority
Seriously though, 50 million?!?! That's peanuts. Hell Donald Trump drops 50 million on his tranportation every year.
I've not been posting as much of late - these things come in seasons...Quote:

dude, obviously you haven't ever seen my cousin!Quote:

LOL, in 2 days the only memory of you would be a video tape of you in an orange jump suit having your head sawed off while a bunch of filthy murderers chanted "Allah Akbar" or a pile of ashes that use to be you after an Isreali rocket incinerated you. The Palestinians and the MAJORITY of the middle east HATE you Idaho. Not because you want to help them or the fact that you hate the Isrealis as much as they do, they HATE you regardless. But the fact that you're an athiest would go over even better with those wonderful peaceful muslims and Jews, suuuure, they would let you lead them into peace and happiness!!! :dizzy2: Like the old saying says, never hug a snake, it won't love you back. Piss on the whole region. I'm hoping the Iranians do get nukes then Israel and Iran can fry the whole ####ing ####hole that is the cause of the majority of all the worlds problems, well that and liberal!!!! ~DQuote:
