President Obama, Mahmoud Abbas met at the White House today. The result was the President writing another check that his (insert favorite expletive of Obama’s) can’t cash. A $400 million dollar Palestinian aid package was the result of the Obama, Abbas meeting. I’m not really sure this is such a good idea given the high tensions between Israel, Palestine and the Administration after last week’s flotilla incident.
Obama gave the standard democrat answer saying the money would go to housing and schools. The cynic in me thinks that a good portion of this particular $400 million dollar Palestinian aid package, as well as others, will go to Hamas and their endeavors in terrorism.
Given the fact that Obama has been less than cordial to Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, the Obama, Abbas meeting is just another slap in the face to the Jewish community. Israel is still America’s closest ally in the region and perhaps the world with much support from the American citizenry.
Along with promising our money to Gaza, Obama publically asked for the Israeli’s to loosen restrictions of their blockade of Gaza so humanitarian aid can go through. I suppose it’s Israel’s fault that Obama promised $400 million dollars in Palestinian aid. Those of us criticizing monetary aid to Palestine have only the Zionist regime of Israel to thank. Nice try Mr. Obama. Abbas demanded that the blockade be totally lifted, I presume to make it easier for sympathizers to smuggle weapons into Gaza for “peaceful humanitarian” purposes.
Since Obama doesn’t really have an answer for anything, he did what most democrats and liberals do in his situation, he threw money at the problem. Instead of committing outright support of Abbas and Palestine, Obama promised a $400 million dollar Palestinian aid package that we can’t afford. But at least our money will only be used for housing and schools. We can stipulate that can’t we?

@ James
Those Qassam rockets are thrown indiscriminately in the general direction of Zionist territory with the intention of causing harm, but more so with the intention of causing fear. I do not agree with their use, they are innacurate and could kill or harm civilians, they are more likely to do that then hit military targets, and God knows best. Anyway the whole idea of a group of militarily weak people like the Palestinians throwing them at vastly superior Zionist forces and thus agitating and annoying the crap out of them is truly a tactical blunder and an act of idiocy on the part of those whose idea it was to throw them in the first place.
And I also described them as little and everything like that to compare and contrast the level of actual damage they inflict with the level of damage that returns to those from whose territory they are thrown as a result of this act of stupidity, I did not mean to say they weren’t scary or they were completely non-dangerous.

Let us hear what other Arabs have said:
“There is no such country as Palestine. ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. ‘Palestine’ is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it”.
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937 -
“There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not”.
- Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -
“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria”.

Regardless of whether you want to call the non-Jewish people in that area southern Syrians or Palestinians or just Arabs, the point is that there were people there already and their lands were stolen and invaded and partioned.

“Palestine has never existed…as an autonomous entity. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that’s too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today…No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.”

It should be quite obvious by now that a liberal/progressive like Foley is so arrogant that he thinks his is the final word on any/everything.
I’m not a big supporter of Israel but I suggest the Palestinians will just use any money they get to buy more munitions to use against Israel. They are quite happy to sacrifice the well being of their people to do that. Other Muslim countries have rarely done much at all to support the Palestinians other than to also supply them with weapons.
If I thought abandoning Israel would bring peace to the area I would support it. It should be plain, however, that that would not be the case. The Arabs and Jews have been at each other’s throats since Cain and Abel. And after Israel they would be after everyone else that is not a Muslim. Actually, they can’t even get along with themselves.
The answer for Israel is to just fight it out until the Palestinians are defeated and know they are defeated. I don’t think we need to join the fight with our soldiers. It’s Israel’s problem at the moment. As I have said before, our only obligation to Israel is to keep them supplied with weapons and Jews.
June 9th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
There is no Palestinian language, but there is a distinct dialect of Arabic specific to Palestinians. It is similar to the way Syrians and Lebanese talk and some Jordanians. The whole area was referred to by the Arabs in the past as Ash-Shaam the center of Ash-Shaam really traditionally is Damascus, they are considered the real-deal original Shaamees. Iraq is mostly different than Ash-Shaam in dialect and has different aspects of culture. If people in Yemen speak their dialect of Arabic and not standard Arabic I can barely understand them. If people in Algeria or Morroco speak their dialect I can understand almost nothing. Because they mix Arabic with Berber and French and they have a wierd accent. There are some differences in food and culture and accents between the different Arab nations.
