05-12-06 - Seeking a bypass, as the money runs out EVER since March, when foreign donors first began cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the wake of Hamas's election victory, their refrain has been that they did not intend to punish the Palestinians personally. This week they acknowledged that the punishment was happening anyway.
05-12-06 - Quartet's aid plan may fall short Western diplomats say United States objections to including salary payments as part of the new aid program could make it impossible to reverse a steep drop in living standards, even if supplies of food and medicine increase sharply.

05-12-06 - Groups to Bush: Drop Iran-Israel Linkage Messages were passed to the White House through several channels, Jewish activists said. And it seems to have worked: Speaking before the annual conference of the American Jewish Committee in Washington last week ? his most recent address before a Jewish audience ?
