George Galloway: What an Idiot

George Galloway, a British Member of Parliament made famous by being destroyed in an Iraq War debate with Christopher Hitchens, has made his stupidity and/or narcissism known again. From the Jerusalem Post:

"I have entered Palestine many times but the most emotional of these is after the 22-day genocidal aggression against the Palestinian people," he told reporters.

Receiving the activists, Ahmed Kurd, Hamas' minister of social affairs, thanked Galloway for the "noble goodwill gesture" and called the lawmaker a "hero."

Hamas calls him a hero? Isn't that all we need to know?

Europe to Give Gaza Over $500 Million

Yes-- I know. It appears that Europe just doesn't get it. Even after Hamas provoked a war with its democratic neighbor, Israel, Gaza will be receiving $552 million in aid from the nations of Europe.

But are we any better? Our own government has pledged almost one billion dollars in aid. This comes as we are building up a tremendous deficit. Should we really be spending on credit so that Hamas can buy some new rocket launchers? Something is creepy about this and we really need to get a grip.

Unfortunately, everything appears to be looked at in the eyes of "change." We've got some problems with these decisions, though:

According to the Voice of America, the Palestinian Authority is asking for almost $3 billion to rebuild Gaza. First: is the GDP of Gaza even approaching this figure? Would it be worth it to do this and spend all of this money to encourage the next war.

Second and far more important: the Palestinian Authority doesn't even control Gaza! Hamas does! How can the PA be asking for all of this money to rebuild Gaza when they couldn't even spend it on repairs or public works! Instead, some of this money would be stolen in the fashion of Yasser Arafat.

Third, if the money goes to Gaza, it would go to the Hamas government. Why would Europe or the United States directly or indirectly give money to a terrorist group, except out of weakness or stupidity.

Even if 1% of the EU's and the US's money goes to buy weapons, that's still over $15 million! That thousands of guns and millions of bullets! That's thousands of IEDs or grenades! How many Jews have to die because of our shortsidedness?

This is blood on our hands.

Obama Planning Almost $1 Billion for Gaza

Despite being controlled by the terrorist group Hamas and having provoked a recent war with our ally Israel, the United States government is planning on giving the Gaza Strip almost one billion dollars.

Of course our government knows what it wants the money to be spent on: civil buildings, reconstructing infrastructure, and the like. However, it can be almost guaranteed that some of this money will go to Hamas or its affiliates.

Such irresponsibility is not only adding to our national debt, but is also opening up Israel to another attack. In addition, if a lot of money is not going to the Palestinian people, but instead their theocratic overlords, then how are they benefitting?

We need to rethink these strategies and try to actually do the right thing instead of simply attempting to please Hamas or the "world community." At this rate, a "stimulus package" to Iran may actually happen in the next four to eight years.

But at least it's change.

The money, which needs U.S. congressional approval, will be distributed through U.N. and other bodies and not via the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, said one official.

"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," said the official, who asked not to be named as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton planned to announce the funding at a donors' conference in Egypt next week.

Sure....

Islamists Make Presence Known in France

France, which in part opposed the war in Iraq due to its increasing Muslim population, is now facing further problems. Beyond all of those riots that happened a couple of years ago, that is.

“It’s good that the fighting has stopped, but that doesn’t mean we will forget,” said Enis Chabchoub, 29, a computer trainer who was watching the news with his parents, siblings and sister-in-law. “This war will be remembered, and not only in Gaza.”

In France, which is home to the largest Jewish and the largest Muslim communities in Western Europe, the conflict between Hamas and Israel has deeply inflamed passions over the past three weeks. The emotions, strongly expressed in demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of people to the streets, were one factor driving diplomatic efforts by French leaders, including President Nicolas Sarkozy, to achieve a lasting cease-fire.

Israel Wins

Israel has fought a bitter, small war against the terrorists of Hamas in Gaza. Despite attacks from Lebanon and every sort of vitriol launched verbally, Israel won.

Hamas rockets have stopped. Hamas has lost hundreds of terrorists. Gaza is reconsidering their Hamas leaders. Israel has started to secure its southern flank.

Yes, Israel has won.
A good day, indeed.
From Debka:

The Israel air force demolished two key Hamas war systems in the first 4 minutes of its massive offensive on Gaza Saturday morning, Dec. 27, DEBKAfile's military sources report. The bombers destroyed six mosques in Gaza City which held the terrorists' biggest weapons arsenals and scores of "beehives" containing launchers primed for the simultaneous, automatic release of hundreds of powerful rockets against Israeli cities.

These launchers were rigged for precision-targeting in Israeli town centers. They were operated by a unit of 300 special Hamas operatives trained for their mission at a Syrian military bases under the instruction of Hizballah rocket specialists.

The aerial offensive knocked out 80 percent of the rockets Hamas had prepared to launch and saved Israel's southern cities. The Palestinian Islamists were left only with inferior projectiles. Therefore, 98 percent of the hundreds of missiles they managed to fire in the 22-day war missed their targets and exploded in open ground.
