So far as I know, the US doesn’t send in food & medicine. We give the government money for development projects.
If the US withdraws its aid, it’s not like we’re going to stop handing out food baskets & blankets to the cute little Palestinian kids since I don’t think we do that anyway. Neither does the EU. It’ll hit the government in the pocketbook.
I guess the main danger is that Iran will step up to the plate and take over the aid. Who wants that?
Yeah, fuck you and your condescension too, pally. There’s a difference between “explaining” and “adding more shit every time you talk.”
Actually, in this particular instance I don’t think I’ve expressed an opinion one way or the other. But for the record, were I asked to vote on suicide bomber, comma, use of, I would vote “nay.”
All I asked was whether we hold any other countries to this standard in deciding whether or not to offer foreign aid.
Are you suggesting that we shouldn’t expect countries to renounce violence as a means of effecting political change as a matter of government policy that’s targeted specifically at civilians? Whether we offer them foreign aid or not?
What in the fuck are you babbling on about this time? The only contribution (if you can call it that) to this thread is a reference to foreign aid and asking how many contries have renounced violence.
How about this, dipshit. Find how many countries the US gives aid to that has a major political party whose charter calls for the direct abolishment of another country. In addition to that, said country to be destroyed isn’t even officialy recognized.
Good luck.
It is more accurate to say Hamas considers all parts of Israel as a militarised occupation. That is, it does not recognise any of its targets as civilian.
I think this is the case as far as military/civilian definitions for Hamas. However, because they claim all Isrealis are military targets, doesn’t make it so. And reasonable, responsible governments are able to differentiate the two. The fundamental problem, again, comes back to their beleifs about Jews. They want them dead. All of them. Whatever they want to classifies Jews as doesn’t change the fact that they want Jews to die.
Quite correct in the first part. However the second statement ‘They want them dead. All of them’ is not true. Or at least not supported by any evidence. I had a fruitful discussion with tomndebb on this very topic recently in a gd thread about the election of Hamas.
Maybe I should have limited it to the destruction of the state of Israel, rather than actually killing every Jew on Earth. From everything I’ve ever seen concerning Hamas, I can’t any argument that that isn’t their platform. I’ll look for the GD thread and see what transpired. Maybe I’ll learn something. For now, though, I hold forth that Hams doesn’t deserve the respect of any reputable nation, much less the foreign aid given them by those countries.
Yes, it is, you lying, cowardly shit. Come to the Pit thread and try to defend yourself rather than continuing your lies in other threads. Or, better yet, get some honor and stop being a liar.
Except Hamas’ own charter, liar.
::::Guffaw::::
We fund Isreals’ “hatred and violence”, why not HAMAS as well?
Get 'em coming and going!
Here is a good example: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/01/international/middleeast/01cnd-mideast.html?hp&ex=1138856400&en=c735526c5363c02b&ei=5094&partner=homepage
You do realize that the cited article describes a clash between Israeli police and Jewish settlers, don’t ya?
Remind me again why this is a bad thing?
Obviously.
I am pro settler.
And pro Israel.
And pro Hamas.
And pro Palestine.
Ok,ok, I am pro human and anti violence.
