While the Bush Administration pours millions of US taxpayers’ dollars into the Palestinian Authority in a vain hope that that regime will ever build and govern a viable state-like entity, the Palestinian Authority is busy celebrating the victories of America’s enemies.
For those Americans who believe the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas is either moderate or pro-American, take a look at this cartoon that featured prominently last week in a newspaper fully controlled by Abbas’ office:
The same newspaper has carried similar illustrations ever since Al Qaeda killers downed the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11, 2001.
That shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, considering that the Palestinians erupted in mass street celebrations as the Twin Towers were burning and falling on top of thousands of Americans that fateful day. I remember watching television footage of Arabs just a few miles from me in eastern Jerusalem handing out candy and howling with joy over the fact that Osama bin Laden had slaughtered so many infidels.
And that feeling of camaraderie with America’s enemies has clearly not waned. As recently as 2005, a public opinion poll showed that a firm 65 percent of Palestinian Arabs still supported Al Qaeda’s assault on the United States.
That the Palestinian public proudly sees itself as an enemy of the US can be traced to its leadership, which continues to use all that US and European money to educate young Palestinians to hate not only Israel, but the entire Judeo-Christian West. Of course, that behavior can be traced back to Islam, which teaches all Arab Muslims, both the leaders and the general public, that all non-Muslim entities must ultimately be warred against and conquered.
Should America really be spending its money in a way that helps forward such a message?
Some will argue that cutting off the aid will wrongfully harm the Palestinian public for the mistakes of their leaders. But if the money being given to the Palestinians for education and other social assistance efforts is being used in such a way that teaches and trains future generations of Palestinians to hate and seek war, is it really helping them anyway?

The International Monetary Fund indicated that Yasser Arafat was one of the richest men in the World.
Monies donated by the West intended to improve the living standards of The Palestinian People were diverted into Arafat’s personal bank accounts abroad and also misused to equip and supply terrorists in the war of attrition against Israel.
Prior to Arafat’s demise the Palestinian People were becoming aware that Arafat and Fatah were corrupt in this respect and that is why they voted for Hamas!
So what has become of Arafat’s millions now ? … and why aren’t those funds being used to assist the Palestinian people?
America continues to pour financial resources into the same corrupt coffers and in doing so is assisting the Islamic cause which is to eliminate Israel and establish Islam in the West!

If the ‘Palestinians’ could show that they are accountable with the money being given to them, that it is being used in humanitarian ways, and they can verifiably show that they renounce terrorism in all it’s forms, then I think we should send some aid their way.
Of course, they have never shown that they intend to use the money for such ends, and they never abide by their agreements, so the whole discussion is academic and really should be reserved for the realm of Never Never Land.
Which brings me to our foreign policy. Our foreign policy lives at Never Never Land. The only reason this is so, is because the Jews are expendable when it comes to deciding between Arab oil and moral principle. Naturally, it’s more antisemitic than just that as there is clearly no effort in even disguising the fact that we are selling out loyal allies to terrorists who could not be happier than to see us all dead.
I also don’t believe it will get any better. I believe every future American administration (not just the current one) will more than gladly continue on par with the current course of action, tightening the noose around Israel’s neck more and more and encouraging her to free fall. I believe God is hardening the hearts of all these world leaders, who from the beginning have cursed Israel in their hearts, in order to bring about their eventual destruction.
People always think they can fool God, and blow off how sad and sick an attitude that is.

Tell it Mr. Passenheim….you are right on target.

IMHO, your strident anti-El Fatah attitude is counter -productive.
Although a minority, there are significant numbers of Palistenians in this group who are not pro-el Qaida. There are many who believe that “the enemy(Israel)of my enemyHamas) is my friend.
I am NOT a “revisionist”, however since our options are growing more and more limited, we should at least keep this one on the table.

I believe if The President of The US will ONLY perform his God Anointed Task and not POLITICIZE, The Millions of dollars and the HARD EARNED DOLLARS of every American who walked the streets from Home to work will be put to REAL good use.

@Jack:
Lets make this clear for you. Fatah and Hamas are one of the same, Hamas is just more honest when communicating with the western world.

We need to rid this planet of Muslims. Islam is the cancer, nukes are the answer!

Wow Robert,
I feel sorry for you. If you substitute “Jews” for “Muslims” in your post it looks an exact qoute from “Mein Kompf.” Hatred is hatred, whoever it is directed at. You and Osama have an eerily similiar vocobulary.

The Pals seem to be good at destroying things including themselves .

With all respect Pastor Matt does not understand what war is. This is a war between groups of people, a modern day crusades if you will. There is evil about and does the bible not warn of such evils? The Muslim super state that Iran is attempting to create in the name of Islam is not the first major threat to the world since the Soviet Union. Don’t underestimate them because when you do that is when their attacks are the most devastating. They have made their intentions clear — I don’t understand why people pretend like this doesn’t exist.

miss rice and others in leadership need to read the book of revelation, and daniel. israel is not to be divided among any one. also miss rice by making pal. a state is totally against gods word. i don,t know if you are a christian or not . if not i pray god will reveal to you what you are about to do. there will be no peace there until jesus comes back. and if you get them to be a state you are usure in the coming of end of time as we know it now, and our lord and savior’s return. what a day that will be.

To MR Victor Passenheim.
First of all, I believe that Palestinian people hate America, that is for sure, because of its collaboration with the Zionist occupation. America is the brain and Israel is the body, and in order for the body to be under good health, the brain must be used accordingly. Now let’s get to the hot spot, you mentioned in your comment that America gives money to the Palestinians to help them improve the economic conjecture, and contribute to the its development, but unfortunately, this money goes to the pocket of the president and it ministers, and the population doesn’t take advantage of its, because this money is given to one side (FATAH) in order to create clashes between to the two major Palestinian factions.
On the hand, I want to mention that you look very innocent in your comment Mr Victor passenheim. I am pretty sure that the Jewish people can kill someone and follow his funeral, and you mentioned that People always think they can fool God, and you are one of those people, All of use know That, Jewish people used to kill the prophets sent to them in the past, and they are cursed by God, and in the day of judgment, the worse Punishment is waiting for them.
