Boo Hoo. Maybe Hamas can go after the money Arafat stole from the Palestinian people.

I still like Rush's idea about no aid to the "international excrement list"

The US had better immediately cut off any and all aid to the Palestinians. They wanted Hamas - they got Hamas. Some have suggested that now they will become more political and less "terrorist". I doubt it. Israelis have to be pretty nervous. What a mess.

Who the heck is bankrolling their terrorist activities now? It isn't Ireland. Let Iran pick up the whole tab of funding terrorists--salaries, food and all. It shouldn't be us.

Iran can't afford to bankroll them. It's one thing to provide enough funds to open school here and there, or to provide some food in small villages, it's quite another to pay for millions who are on the public payroll. Iran makes a lot of money with their oil, but their own people are living in abject poverty in most towns and villages and Amadnaginidad (sp) has promised to help the poor of Iran. He can't do both.

One upside, this will put to rest the media lie that the Palestinians just want to live in peace.

Glad you posted this as this was something I was pondering.
So what if we cut off money to the 'palestinians'. What's the downside?
They will get what they want from Iran anyway, as long as it contributes to the demise of Israel.

if the money isn't cut off from these types....
it will not bode well for the Middle East......
It will show the terrorist killers all that one
has to do is get elected and you too can receive
American money from the gullible Americans, which
can be used to kill more.

And there is probably a lot of money coming into Iran from our "friends" and going out to Hamas.

I hope you are correct, but with the media being the media I'm not certain of your statement.

Not really, especially if we turn off the money spigot. Then they can claim that these "poor unfortunates" had no choice to but to resort to terrorism, yada yada--you know the rest of the bleeding heart spiel by heart, no doubt.

No doubt. Between Iran and Palestine, I really feel for the Israelis.

What I don't get is that when Arafat died they acted like they loved him so. Now we are hearing about how they hate the corruption.
Were they slow on the uptake or was someone not telling the truth? Who lied, them or the MSM? ( I went to Europe a few times when the bent one was in office. MSM kept telling us the EUers loved him, they didn't at all. The word "gangster" kept coming up.) We know we can't trust either.
If they can't be on their best behavior, cut off their allowance.

So they will lie and get the money.
The left in this country will be outraged if money isn't sent b/c we have to "give them a chance and we have to understand what they have been through" (said very nasally and whiney) and the UN will stand in favor of the "people" of Palestine and will remind everyone how rotten and rich those American are as they are being paid via the back door.
Hamas will denounce violence against others (remember Jews are not people and neither are infidels so therefore they are not 'others') this will come out of one side of their mouths as they are telling kids how to strap on the bombs from the other side of their mouths. They will do this under another extremist Islamic name (see Hamas has done nothing wrong) and it will all be funded by your tax dollars
There problem solved.

I keep hearing Hamas, who is Hamas, is there a 'face' or is this just a mob called by a singular name.
To: neodad
Absolutely keerect! Time's up on that major lie. I have had a palestinian, who was living and working in this country, tell me straight out that they only care about "killing Jews", no matter where they are - Israel, the U.S., anywhere on earth. Let these people starve in their tents. Any future terrorist attacks from the palestinian side of the fence need to be treated as acts of war by a hostile "nation" and met with a swift and terrible response.
