Good. They should have never been handed US taxpayers money in the first place, but this is a welcome development. KGS

Abbas is punished by $200m cut in aid from US
Congress makes Palestinians pay for seeking UN recognition
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Saturday, 1 October 2011
The United States Congress has blocked nearly $200m in aid for the Palestinians, threatening projects such as food aid, health care, and support for efforts to build a functioning state.
The decision to delay the payments runs counter to the wishes of the Obama administration and reflects Congressional anger at Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s so far unrealised pursuit of Fatah-Hamas reconciliation and statehood recognition at the UN.
Being Muslim means never having to say you’re sorry.
Shame is not something that Abbas has in his vocabulary.
Cut off all aid and see how long these despicable, poor excuses for human beings last.
Congress has at least made a start.
But why these spongers get any jitza from the west is beyond me.
And I wonder how many Arabs in Gaza actually work?
I know that some are employed in Judea/Samaria building new homes for Israelis, but not the statistics.
By the way, why do people continue to describe them as Palestinians?
