Hey, why don't they use Arafat's billion or so nest egg--still in European banks--for this project?
Not another dime to the palis until they fess up to what they did with the other billions the Euros and USA have
given to them over the years. . .
The USA could use a desalinization plant--and "charity begins at home".

The Saudi Princes spend $250 million annually on trips to Paris. This sucks.

I'm fine with spending money on building infrastructure in unstable parts of the world. That's a huge part of what we're doing in Iraq. People who's basic needs (food, water, shelter, etc.) are being met are less likely to be angry radical violent revolutionaries.
Okay, please pile on now...

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
How funny. I believe we got the $40 million in immediate aid a few weeks ago by canceling the desalination project. To be a government accountant.

Good idea. Take it out of the money we plan to give to Egypt over the next few years or so.

Construction will be financed by the U.S. administration, and the water sales to the Palestinian Authority will be subsidized as part of its aid package.Lie...It will be funded by me...Without my permission...

U.S. funding, Israeli construction, what does the Palestinian Authority contribute? Promise to not attack the Israelis for the next 24 hours?
How long before this project is halted due to attacks on the construction crew?
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.
WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

People who's basic needs (food, water, shelter, etc.) are being met are less likely to be angry radical violent revolutionaries. I agree and I think the article implies that we'll be getting back some portion of that $250 million.

At least they will be well hydrated.

And since the Palestinians don't think they should pay for utilities, I suppose we'll have to pay those bills too. And maintain the plant. And maintain a pipeline distribution network.

I don't have a problem with helping turd-world countries with infrastructure-building, but I have a h-u-g-e problem in throwing US Taxpayers' monies down a murderous muslim hole.

How much water needs to be manufactured? How much does this one plant manufacture? What would be the total cost for manufactured water for the entire world? Get some of these numbers and then we can look at finances.

If we're coughing up a quarter of a billion for the PA, they should at least be willing in return to remove the anti-semitic propaganda from their childrens' school books.
