Sure, you can get the PA to explicit reject Israel in response to a mere $150 million in new aid. But for only $100 million more – for $250 million in international aid…
An international conference aimed at strengthening the Palestinian police force and judicial system has secured commitments of US$242 million for specific projects, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Tuesday.
The outcome of the one-day conference… “exceeded our expectations,” Steinmeier said. “The result, I must say, is that a clear signal of support for the building of a Palestinian state was sent from here today,” Steinmeier said.
… Fatah will happily try to murder Israelis right now:
Earlier Thursday the Gaza truce was violated again as Palestinians fired a Kassam rocket at the western Negev. The rocket landed near a gas station in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, causing no casualties or damage. The Fatah-affiliated Aksa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack. In a text message sent to reporters, it said “the truce must include the West Bank and all sorts of aggression must stop.”
So remember international donors: $150 million only buys you lip service from Palestinians trying to wiping out the Jewish State. Less than double that gets you actual Palestinian war crimes today. A bargain at twice the price.
