Debbie Schlussel: HAMAS: "Shukran [Thanks], America, For Buying Us Weapons!"
In case you are one of the American taxpayers who doesn't mind the gazillions in foreign aid that you are paying to Rival Palestinian Terrorists, Inc. er . . . the "Palestinian Authority," perhaps this little shukran (Arabic for "thank you") from HAMAS founder and chief Dr. Mahmoud Zahar (yup, a Medical Doctor) might change your mind. In an interview with Der Spiegel, Zahar, MD confirmed what I have repeatedly said and Carl in Jerusalem has also repeatedly written:
SPIEGEL ONLINE: The militant wings of Fatah and Hamas have been fully armed over the last few months. Are these weapons still in circulation?Zahar: There are naturally very many weapons around now. Two years ago, one bullet in Gaza cost around $3.50 -- now it would cost 35 cents. The American aid money has been translated into weapons. Thank you, America!
Tell your Congressmen and Senators--and most of all the President who insists on keeping our tax money flowing into the Palestinian Authority (hint: his initials are GWB and the chick who's urging him on is nicknamed "Condi Clueless)--to STOP GIVING OUR TAX MONEY TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enough already. It's the money, stupid. Who said this?: "You're either on our side or the terrorists' side." Guess what? He made his choice, and he's not on our side.
Oh, and by the way, for those of you AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) blind supporters and donors who frequent this site, the impetus for that money is AIPAC. AIPAC lobbied for billions in foreign aid to the Palestinians, even to UNRWA--which finances HAMAS terrorist development in refugee camps, from cradle to 72-ugly-virgins martyrdom. And AIPAC continues to insist on no cuts in foreign aid--because, after all, the Palestinian Authority's aid is morally equivalent to, say, Israel's aid. Right?
Thanks to reader "S" for the tip.
