Hey World Bank, Shove It
The nerve:
World Bank President James Wolfensohn met with Sharon and other Israeli government officials yesterday... He heard promises from the Israelis for cooperation with the World Bank for advancing aid to the Palestinians, and a serious approach to the recently released World Bank report on rehabilitating the Palestinian economy. The bank is recommending increasing annual aid to the PA from $900 million to $1.4 billion, but conditions it on Israel easing checkpoints and closures, as well as on reforms by the PA.
"You need to take down all of your defenses against terrorists so that we can give them money. Its all your fault anyway."
