Israeli National News ^

[lotusblos]

Good idea, give them a $100 a month for three months then kill them.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Why doesn't he give them Social Security like he gives to other foreigners? Sheesh.

"...$400 million pledged by Kuwait, Qatar and other Gulf countries...could help pay for ...welfare payments of $100 a month to poor Palestinians."

Now this makes a bit more sense. How this got turned into "America is paying $100 a month to terrorists." is beyond me. I guess the reporter of that other article thinks that America encouraging other nations to follow through on pledged money is America paying that money and that all Palestinians are terrorists.

[FreedomCalls]

We already give Egypt $1.9 Billion a year essentially as a bribe for them not to attack Israel (thank Jimmy Carter for setting this up). Egypt has a population of 70 million people. So we are already giving each and every Egyption, man, woman, and child, $27 per year and have been doing so since the late 1970s. Since not all of them are terrorists, nor adults, nor men, the actual price we essentially pay to each potential Egyptian terrorist is quite a bit higher.

The West is self destructing faster than you can say boo. 20 years tops, and were history.

[SeaBiscuit]

"Unbelievable."

It's the story itself that is unbelievable, I wouldn't buy into this until more is known. I doubt the story as told is the true picture.

[John Lenin]

It's true, believe it.

[SeaBiscuit]

Exactly. Someone is twisting Rice's words.

		Fact Sheet Office of the Spokesman Jerusalem February 7, 2005 U.S. Assistance to the Palestinians The President announced in the State of the Union on February 3 that he will ask Congress for $350 million for the Palestinians to support political, economic and security reforms. We will be consulting with Congress about modalities for disbursing this assistance. Separately from the $350 million mentioned by the President, we notified Congress of our intent to reprogram over $40 million in previously authorized assistance for quick disbursing projects designed to make an immediate, visible impact on the lives of Palestinians. As the President has said, the goal of two states living side by side in peace and security is within reach; we are at a moment of opportunity and we must seize it. We are committed to building democratic Palestinian institutions dedicated to reform and to helping the Palestinian people, particularly as they prepare for Israeli disengagement from Gaza and parts of the West Bank. This package of aid is designed to make an impact, both immediately and in the long-term, on the lives of Palestinians, and to support the Palestinian Authority as it continues its reform efforts. Planned breakdown of assistance and programs Quick impact program: The over $40 million of previously authorized assistance is being reprogrammed from funds currently reserved for a Gaza seawater desalination facility. Assistance will not be provided directly to the Palestinian Authority but will be channeled through NGOs using existing mechanisms. Breakdown: $7.3 million for higher education and training programs $8.9 million for community services – including youth programs and job creation  $7.9 million for private sector development  $3 million for support for primary health care $13.9 million for water infrastructure - construction of wells, pipelines and water distribution systems Supplemental: The Administration will seek $200 million in program assistance via the supplemental appropriation. This will include program assistance targeted at the following areas: Financing home construction in Gaza Expanding education opportunities  Developing the economic infrastructure for a Palestinian state  Helping to improve the Palestinian social safety net to provide social services to the poor  "Building bridges" to help improve the flow of people and goods between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza FY 2006 budget: The Administration’s FY 2006 budget will seek $150 million in economic assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, an increase of $75 million over the FY 2005 budget. U.S. assistance supports significant programs in six areas: private sector development, water resources, democracy and governance, health, community services, and higher education. The FY 2006 increase will allow a focus on longer-term development -- including reconstruction of Gaza and revitalization of the Palestinian economy in the wake of Israel’s withdrawal; necessary foundations for emerging democracy such as institution-building and civil society strengthening; and infrastructure development, especially water. 2005/145

[John Lenin]

Read it again, it's in black and white.

[Marine Inspector]

The President and Rice have gone bonkers.

They expect the US Tax Payer to open retirement accounts for terrorists.

[k2blader]

There is no direct quote from Rice in the article, so this makes it suspect. Not to mention, the MSM would be all over this if she had really said such a thing.

[Marine Inspector]

I'm a poor American, can I get $100 a month free please?

No, terrorist and illegal aliens come before poor Americans.

[John Lenin]

Pat Buchanan is starting to sound good about now. Can you believe this, welfare for terrorists ?

[k2blader]

American officials say that $400 million pledged by Kuwait, Qatar and other Gulf countries has not come through, and that this money could help pay for such vital steps as retirement benefits for members of Palestinian militias and welfare payments of $100 a month to poor Palestinians.

Nice find. I wouldn't be surprisd if this was the original story the INN took and twisted. Time will tell.
