Cut off the mother's milk...MONEY!
Iran will bankroll them, with strings attached.
Let them eat their bombs.
I still like Rush's idea about no aid to the "international excrement list"
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.
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.
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.
What, exactly, is our obligation to the Arabs ?
The "palestinian" authority has always been bankrupt.
It produces nothing.
It maintains nothing.
It creates nothing.
It is the world's biggest and most expensive zoo.
"palestine" has existed as a huge, useless parasite at the east end of the mediterranean, sucking up the work and wealth of Europeans, Americans and Israeli citizens for 57 freakin' years!
Most any other group in the world could have built a civilized, self-sufficient society with all the infrastructure necessary to maintain itself with the trillions of $ it has received.
As far as I am concerned, they can just become another Biafra or Sudan, dry up and blow away.
With apologies for Biafra and Sudan. The didn't export explosives and mass murderers.
Not to worry. Hamas will get the funding it needs from the Arab world and Iran. There will also be some funding from Europe.
Perhaps they will be lucky and find the BILLIONS that Arafat squirreled away while leading the palis???
....especially if, as some American officials fear, Hamas turns to Iran to make up some of the difference.
Fear? Come one--exactly what is US funding accomplishing at this point? Let these parasites be a burden to Iran. Birds of a feather. Unfortunately, I FEAR we will cave and fund their terrorist a$$es anyway.
Don't send money. Send seed, shovels, hoes, rakes and books on agriculture. If they have to grow their own food, they won't have time to dress up in ski masks, stage their RPG parades and plan homicide bombings. The threat of starvation is a great motivator.
Why are we supporting TERRORISTS?
