What does it matter ? Abbas lost the election . It doesn't help to boost his standing!! All we are doing is boosting Hamas's standing

The Palestinians elected an established terrorist group for their leadership. Surely they anticipated the loss of tax revenue as well as foreign aid. How can any country or organization in good faith send money to a terrorist organization? The Arab world can step forward to support the Palestinians. It's about time the Palestinians became self-sufficient.

this money belongs to the Palestinians. It's the custom money that Israel collects because it controls the economic ports to the Palestinian territories. According to Oslo accord, Israel should transfer these funds to the PA. Stop gaining political positions over things you are supposed to be doing according to treaties you signed before.

Yes, it is customary and expected for a country under threat of death to help the aggressor fund itself. That makes real sense. I Have an idea....Why doesn't Israel supply weapons to their opponents?...er wait-I guess she does.

Ok. They should get their money. We should also get ours. How about their huge electric bill owed to the Israel Electric Company?

Calling for our destruction or killing our citizens is a violation of the Oslo accords. If they do either or both, we are obliged for nothing.

Yep Ms Rice...what a great idea you have. Lets continue to give money to an organisation that supports murder, terror and suicide attacks. Lets give to an organisation who funds its schools to promote the hatred of Jews and gives out "Mein Kampf" to its children. Ms Rice , if you remember, it wasnt too long ago people were taking away trade , clamping down on funding , from the country of South Africa due to their policy of segregation , , and violent attacks and racist policy against the blacks in that beautiful Country. Hmmm...does that remind you of something Ms Rice? The Palestinians are Holocaust denying racist anti Jews. Surely now is not the time to give them more money? Or is the increase of attacks on the Jews not really as serious as attacks on Black People?

for those who do not pay their bills, like the PA , Israel deducts the amount of the bill before any payment. Let's see. The PA owes Israel 250 million dollars in back fees. and the PA is going to get 200 million in taxes. OK since you still owe us 50million, no payments this month for bad bill payers. Boosting Abbas with payments to his quasi terrorist Al Aqsa Brigade is the most absurd foreign policy notion this American has ever encountered since the Tea Pot Dome. The US ambassador should be recalled to DC and be called out on the carpet for even suggesting this idiotic idea

suicide bombers' families. The beaurocracy and all the middlemen skim the pot. Not very efficient.

TORAH,,,PROVIDES THE REASONS FOR DIVORCE. I BELIEVE ISRAEL MUST LEARN THESE LAWS. ITS TIMETHAT ISRAEL DIVORCE FROM USAs POLICIES OF MIDDLE EAST. TAKE ACTION FOR ITS SURVIVAL AND USA WILL DERIVIE THE PEACE AND BENIFIT WE ARE STRIVING FOR. QUESTION IS: WHO IS ISRAEL TODAY THAT CAN PROVIDE SUCH DYNAMIC STRONG LEADERSHIP? PLEASE.... , ,ITS NOT NETANYAHU IN ANY WAY.

ITS NOT THEIR MONEY ITS ISRAELSI MONEY THROUGH VARIOUS POLITICAL GAMES IT BECAME CALLED THEIR MONEY ITS NOT THEIR LAND THROUGH VARIOUS POLITICAL GAMES ITS CALLED THEIR LAND. WHAT EVER LAND IN QUESTION IS NOT IN QUESTION IT WAS WON IN **WAR** AFTER THE 5 ARABS NATION ATTACXKED ISRAEL. AND THROUGH VARIOUS POLITICAL GAMES IT BECAME IN QUESTION.

THE NEW BENCHMARK OF PRES BUSH AND REICH IS THE HAMAS WIN... THAT WAS THE POINT WHERE THE WORLD SHOULD NO LONGER FOLLOW THEIR OPINION OF WHAT IS RIGHT OR BET THAT THEY MIGHT BE PART RIGHT. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY WRONG. AND WILL BE... AS LONG AS A XTIAN MIND CONTROLS THINGS.. THEY CANNOT AND NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT THE MESSIAH AND HAVE NO CLUE OF WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. I APOLOGIZE , MY PRESIDENT, I DONT MEAN DISRESPECT, BUT NEXT TIME YOU MAKE A DECISION, CALL ME . .I CAN HELP YOU. OR CALL MY RABBI UHH A REAL ORTHODOX TORAH RABBI, BUT PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CALL JERRY FALWELL OR YOUR PRIEST. FORGET THAT, JUST CALL ME, I WILL HELP YOU

Such as Fateh Al-Aqsa Brigade , Hamas ........ Islamic Jihad ... and the whole nine yards Is the Foggy State Department ever getting an American Desk and take off The Arab desk ???

That's fair - don't you think? US banks have been ordered to freeze substantial funds "owned" by groups supporting terror against the US. Using your logic, the money is theirs and should be handed over. Let the US Treasury do that, so they can finance another 9/11. Then we have the right to demand Israel do so. In the meantime, I suggest we turn over the funds to vistims ofArab terrorism
