$20 Mill to the Palestinians
By Micah Halpern

Wednesday December 29,2004

I've been thinking:

Yesterday the US Embassy in Tel Aviv confirmed that they had transferred $20 million dollars in cash to the Palestinians Authority.

That's right. Not only 20 million dollars, but cash dollars.

The US said the money would be spent on the Palestinian presidential election, on electricity, on water and on sewage.

A transfer of cash? Are they crazy? Have they figured out an appropriate apparatus to supervise where that money really goes?

President Bush somehow has a blind spot when it comes to this idea. It seems he needs to throw money at the Palestinians.

Is he so self-deceived? Does he really think that the Palestinians will like America? Does he really think that the money will make it to the formally designated targets?

How naive.
