Olmert gives $100 million to PLO

Abbas: "The dirty Jews corrupt humanity. Aim all your rifles, all of them, at the Jewish occupiers of Palestine!"

Olmert: "Let's see...champagne reception with dignitaries in China, eye-lift, eliminating terrorist checkpoints, raising the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem, releasing moslem prisoners, caviar lunch with Hollywood peace activists, pedicure and mud bath at spa, expelling Jewish families from there homes in Judea...what am I forgetting? Hmmm...busy, busy,...OH YEAH! Releasing $100 million of Jewish tax payer money to Mahmoud Abbas! Silly me, how could I forget?"

Ynet News - According to the plan, the money transferred by Israel to the Palestinian Authority is to be used for two purposes: Strengthening Abbas' presidential guard, and funding humanitarian needs, which will be decided by the president's office.

Part of the money will also go towards strengthen the presidential guard according to the Daton Plan, which states that the money cannot be used for paying salaries, but strictly for the presidential defense establishment directly subordinate to Abbas.

A few weeks ago Israel transferred NIS 40 million (roughly USD 9.5 million) to the Palestinian Authority...Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert promised American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he would fulfill his commitments to Abbas, and indeed, Olmert took a few steps in that direction last week.

Hmmm...what was it that I wanted to add at the end, again? How was I going to finish this post? Hmmm....oh, wait, I know! Silly me, how could I forget...

"Kahane was right!"
