Sarge Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Can anyone tell me why? :doh: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/05/09/us.palestinians/index.html WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States will provide $10 million in new medical assistance to Palestinians, State Department officials said Tuesday. The $10 million will come from money the United States took back from the Palestinians after Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization, won Palestinians elections this year. A senior State Department official said the money includes $4 million in medicine and medical equipment for clinics run by nongovernmental organizations, which could start to be delivered as early as Wednesday. The remaining $6 million will be delivered through UNICEF, the U.N. children's fund. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was expected to announce the program Tuesday after meeting with representatives of Russia, the European Union and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Meetings with representatives from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan also were scheduled. Arab states are concerned the cuts in aid made earlier this year will lead to a collapse of the Palestinian Authority and increase violence in the territories. In April, the United States cut off all nonhumanitarian assistance in the Palestinian territories after Hamas' unexpected victory. In all, $411 million was canceled or suspended out of concern the money could help the new Hamas-led Palestinian government. At the same time, the United States more than doubled money for basic humanitarian needs, such as health, food and education, to $240 million over several years. It is to be funneled through nongovernmental organizations and U.N. agencies. The United States, the European Union and other Palestinian donors have said they won't deal with the Hamas-led government unless it recognizes Israel, renounces violence and adheres to agreements with Israel brokered by the previous Palestinian government.

luckydevil Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 in reality 10 million is chump change there. If your looking for a reason why its because terrorism thrives off poverty. I am sorry, but that's not true. There is very little correlation between poverty and terrorism. In fact, terrorists are mostly drawn from society's elites. There is a correlation between lack of political freedom and terrorism. These terrorists are motivated by a deep devotion to a religious and social cause, it's entirely ideological.
