01-27-06 - Child killed by military fire in the Gaza strip A Palestinian medical reported, on Thursday at night, that Israeli soldiers shot and killed a nine-year old Palestinian child near the Kissufim Crossing in the central Gaza Strip. All mainstream and most alternative media have halted the reporting of these killings of late.
01-27-06 - State Dept. to Review Aid to Palestinians The aid we give to the Palestinians is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions we give to Israel each year.
01-27-06 - Israeli politicians rush to condemn Hamas win IN the end, what difference does the Hamas win make? They refused to negotiate with Arafat. Abbas was no 'partner for peace' and was outright ignored as Israel continued building the illegal settlements in the West Bank and the wall that cuts deep into Palestinian land. Israel had planned to carry out unilateral moves which it has all of last year, without any negotiation with the Abbas government. The Hamas victory simply makes no difference when all is said and done. Just before Sharon had his second near fatal stroke, he was discussing drawing up Israel's final borders - without the consent and without negotiations with the Palestinians whose land would likely be further usurped in the process. The Palestinians, many of whom live below the poverty level, voted for Hamas because it is seen as being less corrupt than Fatah. The irony is that the world will now cut the aid money to the PA.

01-27-06 - Donors Threaten Aid Cut After Hamas Win The World Bank estimates that 1.1 billion dollars of the PA's budget in 2005 ? about half of the total ? came from foreign donors.
01-27-06 - Hamas, Son of Israel Amid all the howls of pain and gnashing of teeth over the triumph of Hamas in the Palestinian elections, one fact remains relatively obscure, albeit highly relevant: Israel did much to launch Hamas as an effective force in the occupied territories. If ever there was a clear case of "blowback," then this is it.
01-27-06 - U.S. Could Halt Aid to Palestinians The threat was echoed on Capitol Hill by a nonbinding Senate resolution condemning Hamas and expressing support for halting assistance to the Palestinian government. The symbolic resolution, crafted by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., says aid should be ended if the party controlling the Palestinian parliament advocates the destruction of Israel, which Hamas does. It was unclear when the Senate would vote on the proposal.

Palestinian Muslims to accept these Jews, when they suspect is was other
Jews who destroyed their olive trees

01-27-06 - A triumph for Sharon The Hamas landslide is the direct outcome of the utter frustration felt by Palestinians at the failure of anybody to do anything about the abject poverty and oppression under which they spend every day of their lives.
