U.S. Gives $150M to Palestinian Authority!

Two days ago President Obama rips Israel from a speech in Jakarta Indonesia.  Today we hear of the administration giving $150 million to the Palestinians.  How anyone can still doubt that the Obama Administration is hostile to Israel, and sympathetic to a group (the Palestinians) who want the dissolution of Israel, is beyond my comprehension. This "aid" will only be used, as all "aid" we give the "palestinians", to arm up for war with Israel.  - Brian

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced new funding to the Palestinian Authority and held talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Wednesday, a day before her scheduled meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.

Clinton said that she and her Egyptian counterpart discussed several issues here in Washington, ranging from Israeli-Palestinian issues to the international tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

"It is important that we do everything we can at a particularly sensitive time in the region to try to redouble our efforts to achieve a two-state solution [to Israeli-Palestinian tensions], to help stabilize the situation in Sudan, and to work to ensure that the people of Lebanon can have accountability in the search for justice," said Hillary Clinton.

Clinton said that the issue at the top of the agenda was the need for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks toward a two-state solution.
