When has the US or EU ever said that they may stop funding the murder of Jews?
Hamas is poised to take over one third the vote. The EU and US have known for years that Hamas gets a bunch of their money from UNRWA. When has they ever said they would cut funding to UNRWA?
And when you get right down to it, UNRWA is the main reason why a peace deal has never been signed. The longer the PLO-Arabs hold out, the more they get. They have no reason to make a deal since waiting only increases their bargaining position. If UNRWA was to go away and the PLO-Arabs would be treated like every other refugee group on the planet, there would be less than 60,000 refugees today and in another forty years, there would be none. Instead, in forty years under UNRWA rules, we are looking at over 20 million refugees receiving welfare, free education, housing, and free medical. Why should the PLO-Arabs ever agree to peace since it would take them off the welfare dime?

I'm amazed. Such a drastic measure- to shun. I had to consult the dictionary just in case my memory had gone. Shun is to avoid and stay away from deliberately. I have shunned people in my life, and I'm sure it was very painful for them. I'm also sure that as a direct result of the quality of my shun(9.5)they were remorseful and changed.
My dear America, we are dealing with hamas and fatah. How many more bombs, how many more dead Jews. The express purpose of these groups is the destruction of Israel.
Do I have a solution, yes but not popular. Something like an eye for an eye.

We Don't Think That's True - US Promises to Shun Palestinian Hamas Government
The United States and the European Union are declaring that they will not recognize / assist / send nice letters and gifts to any Palestinian government in which Hamas participates. We are skeptical...
Mark the date and time:
The article goes on to say that:What it doesn't mention, of course, is that the Europeans have already backtracked on this promise. We expect a slow progression from "will not recognize" to "government legitimately elected by the Palestinian people". And soon thereafter, the United States will "reluctantly" indeed recognize a Palestinian government in which Hamas participates.[Cross-posted at Mere Rhetoric]
