This is throwing good money after bad. Amazing how politicians can waste taxpayers money to prop up a failed idea. They can't admit that policy for last 30 years has been a total failure. Of course, it's not their money & they won't be around to take responsibility when the failure is even more evident.

I seem to recall American aserting that they won't again make the same mistake that they did when they trained and funded the Taliban.

The US shouldn't give Abbas a cent, weapons... or anything else for that matter. He is a weak person that no matter what help he is given won't get the job done. He has said time and time again that he won't fight Hamas or other terror groups. Let him fall. Better yet let them all kill each other, because while they are doing that, life in Israel is quiet

Abbas is just one man. He hardly control what his Fatah's does. Yea, #2 hit right on the spot, the $$ will be flushed down the WC

Fatah is less well armed than Hamas which would mean a fairly quick decisive battle between them. Much better to have them equally armed so that they can really fight it out. A 'good' balance needs to be maintained here ....

I just don't get you Israelis. Why on earth would you let the Americans send weapons to Arabs, be they from Fatah or Hamas. You know they will eventually turn against you. If they shoot their own brothers and sisters, what makes you think they won't turn around and not shoot you? Wake up and smell the coffee morons!

Just Hamasniks? Let's be democratic and include all asshats. With respect to counting fairly and correctly, I thought of scalping. That, however, could lead to indiscriminate grave robbery. Instead, may I suggest something more personal? If nothing else, those 72 virgins would probably appreciate that approach. The program could be called, "Operation Bobbit."

USA, Russia, UN and EU - are first of all as PLOs allied forces, because they will all have an all important role to redeem one of islamic terrors most important goal - the establishment of a Palarabic state inside the State of Israel. This will be an important goal - on Islams way to their "final goal" and a huge strategic victory for islamic terrorism. Intensifying terrorism, and Israel willing – to pay the price - by appeasement, surrending their Land to islamic terror - Submitting for the pressure towards National Suicide... - then terrorists can achieve peaceprizes, their own states , weapon, capital and prestige..! – begging for money to fund their continued Jewhate and terrorism against the Jewish People... killing Jews is rewarded - by your "best friend" - What a friend we have in America... I thought democracy was supposed to stand by the victim - not the executioner...

uniforms, boots, socks and batons then Israel is safer. You can never trust anyone from Fatah or Hamas, they are all chameleons coming out from the same tree.

The Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of a futute leader who by the ruse of peace destroys many in Israel and elsewhere. It's happening now. What do supplying millions in weapons to Palestinian terrorists have to do with peace ? Nothing ,but the deception is embraced by the Jewsih sheep headed to slaughter once again. Israel you leaders lead you to hell and not peace.

all the other good souls. So what Haniyeh does want to do to Abbas? My guess is that Haniyeh wants to kill and inherit Abbas and get away with it.

in favour of Hamas. Israel should pay Abbas $10000 or more for any Arab killed who was a terrorist in terms of Israel's definition and regardless of who killed them.

Stop feeding this despot

Charity begins at home.

U.S. betrayal of trustworthy, best ally Israel, places Israel in great danger. PLO terrorists conducted savage jihad against Lebanon's Christians murdering huge numbers. http://www.free-lebanon.com Photo gallery - 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. PLO savagery was rewarded - the PLO were implanted into Israel as "peace" partner terrorists through Oslo covenant with death to continue their barbaric jihad against the infidel Jews and Christians of Israel. Words, not actions, was all that U.S. EU required of the PA/PLO who broke ALL Agreements. Every single one of Palestinian Authority security forces are involved in terror attacks against Jews. U.S. leaders finance, arm and train their favorite terrorists who murder Jews. The U.S. EU UN Global Islamic Terror State in the Jewish ancestral homeland of Biblical Judea and Samaria will reduce tiny Israel at mid-section to an INDEFENSIBLE 9 miles wide border - advancing global jihad's march to world conquest and facilitating a second Holocaust of Jews. Ethics and decency demand that Oslo/Road Map and all agreements are declared NULL and VOID. During the second Lebanon war under intense U.S. pressure, Israel's weak leaders agreed to the UN resolution that prevented the goal vital to Israel's security - eliminating the rocket threat from Lebanon. UN Resolution 1701 successfully prevented Israel from defeating Iran's terrorist army Hezbollah thus aiding and empowering Hezbollah who now threaten to take over Lebanon. The following from: IMRA - Independent Media Review and Analysis Website: www.imra.org.il 23 Dec 2006 Middle East Newsline U.S. BLOCKS ARMS, TECHNOLOGY TO ISRAEL TEL AVIV [MENL] -- The Bush administration has blocked arms and technology transfers to Israel. Israeli and U.S. sources said the State Department has blocked the transfer of weapons and technology to the Jewish state over the last three months. The sources said the halt reflected deteriorating relations between the two countries since the end of the war in Lebanon in August 2006. "Nobody will say openly that there is a problem," a government source said. "But there is a serious problem that reflects the marginalization of Israel in U.S. strategy." The unofficial suspension of U.S. arms deliveries began in late September, the sources said. They said the suspension halted the airlift of air-to-ground and other munitions conducted during and immediately after the Israeli war with Hizbullah... In one case, State prevented Northrop Grumman from providing details of its Skyguard laser weapon, which the company has sought to sell to Israel. The ban led to the suspension of Israeli negotiations to procure Skyguard, designed to intercept short-range rockets and missiles. The sources said the halt in U.S. weapons exports to Israel was designed to assuage Saudi Arabia. They said Riyad has increasingly linked regional cooperation with Washington to pressure on Israel to halt attacks on Palestinian insurgency strongholds in the Gaza Strip. "The White House believes that Saudi help is vital for the United States in Iraq," a diplomatic source said. "There's nothing like stopping the weapons flow to Israel to show the Saudis that the United States means business." Middle East Newsline Olmert refuses to protect Jews from terrorists' daily rocket attacks. It's open season on Jews - Olmert is obeying orders from Washington DC and Saudi Arabia. Israel is threatened with war on all fronts. The U.S. refusals place Israel in great jeapordy. Israel must have the necessary weapons to defend herself.
