Hey, remember that time when the US gave the Palestinians $900 million on the promise that Palestinian PM Fayyad would make sure none of the money got to terrorists? Opps:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday asked his prime minister, Salaam Fayad, to stay in office pending the results of reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah over the formation of a unity government. The request came shortly after Fayad submitted his resignation to Abbas, saying he wanted to pave the way for the success of the Hamas-Fatah discussions that are expected to resume in Cairo later this week. In a letter to Abbas, Fayad said that his resignation would go into effect as soon as a unity government is formed, but no later than the end of March. Fayad's resignation came as a surprise to Abbas and the PA leadership, a PA official in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post. He pointed out that although Fayad had in the past talked about the possibility of stepping down, "in recent weeks there were no indications whatsoever that he was planning to resign."

Actually it's been known for a while that Fayyad would soon be resigning. The PA kept up the pretense of his commitment just long enough to secure billions in international assistance.

Whatever. It's not like the aid wasn't explicitly being sent to terrorists already:

The first press release following the donors conference announced that the PLO will give an extra bonus of to known terrorists: "An extra 800 shekels (190 US dollars) will be added to the stipend's given to Palestinians in Israeli prisons this month, Head of Palestinian Prisoner Society in Nablus Ra'ed Amer confirmed on Tuesday. Each prisoner receives 1000 shekels (238 US dollars) per month, plus an extra 300 shekels (71 US dollars) if they are married, and an extra 50 shekels (12 US dollars) for each child. The stipend is paid by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) each month... Amer explained that the increase was made following the instructions of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas." Yes, every terrorist in an Israeli jail - people who drove suicide bombers to blow up women and children, people who ordered "martyrdom operations," people who attacked any Jew they could find - gets thousands of dollars annually from the cash-strapped PA, which of course gets its money from successful donors conferences like yesterday's. Every year they get about $16 million, assuming an average of $300 per prisoner per month. And in February alone, they get an additional $855,000.

How long before someone publishes an article saying that Fayyad quit because he was disgusted with Israeli settlments? Not Jimmy Carter nausea-level disgusted. But still disgusted enough so that his resignation can be blamed on Israel.
