NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

DAMN! Cave in to the b**tards again, eh? When are you people going to grow a spine and tell these asshats to go pound sand?

Each time you give in to their whining and begging without getting anything in return (like a promise to stop killing innocent people), the situation only gets worse. There are some government leaders out there that are in desperate need of a No. 9 Cluebat™ upside their pointy little heads.

Carefully examine the picture at right. Do you know what that is?

Palestinian demonstrators burning the US flag as they hold up the Iraqi national flag, during an all women’s protest in support of Iraq in Gaza City. Scores of Palestinian women protested against what they called US ‘war crimes’ in Iraq as the hardline Islamic Jihad movement hailed the ‘new intifada’ against the US-led occupation (Agence France Presse - April, 2004).

AND YOU WANT TO GIVE THESE FREAKS MONEY? DAMN YOU!

I can understand the spineless, nutless Fwench and Russians surrendering to these godless savages but if Dubya and Condi give them one thin dime I am going to be sorely pissed. The Paleosimians need a demonstration of “tough love” not more money. Let them rot in their cesspool for a few years. Maybe then they’ll come to their senses. Paying them off is only an invitation for more bloodshed. After all, why should they quit sending out suicide bombers when the ignorant, spineless western nations will continue to give them money anyway? ARGH!

U.S., Allies Agree to Palestinian Aid
_{UNITED NATIONS, May. 10, 2006}

The United States bowed to pressure from its allies Tuesday and agreed to support a new program to temporarily funnel additional aid directly to the Palestinian people. A surprise statement by Mideast peacemakers, issued after a day of closed-door diplomatic meetings, did not say precisely how much or what kind of aid they would provide. But the agreement seemed to underscore a concern that months of withholding most aid from the Palestinians, part of an effort to pressure the new Hamas-led government toward a more accommodating stance with Israel, was harming the Palestinian people.

The new fund represents a slight softening of the hard U.S. line against financial engagement with Hamas, the militant Islamic group that has conducted numerous terrorist attacks. The United States, the European Union and Israel list Hamas as a terrorist organization. The United States and European Union have cut off direct aid to the Palestinian government while pledging to help meet the crushing humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people through charities and other means.

Israel has also refused to transfer $55 million in monthly tax revenues it collects for the Palestinian Authority. Overseas donations, mostly from Europe, have long sustained the cash-strapped and bloated Palestinian government. The new fund is supposed to administer only money for basic human needs. But both European and U.S. diplomats said that at some point it might be used to pay salaries for urgently needed doctors or teachers or for other services that the Hamas government otherwise would be expected to provide.

Hamas won election in part because of a record of providing services that the previous secular Fatah leadership did not. The aid cutoff has left the Palestinian government virtually broke and increasingly unable to provide basic services. Some 165,000 government workers, whose incomes had supported one-third of Palestinian families, have not been paid for the past two months, and the World Bank warned this week of an impending crisis.

Frustrations rose to the surface over the weekend, when hundreds of Palestinians staged strikes and demonstrations in the West Bank and Gaza to demand payment, the first public signs of discontent with Hamas’ handling of the situation. European governments in particular have been alarmed at the worsening plight for unemployed Palestinians and concerned that charities and U.N. agencies could not meet the demand for services or handle the amount of money that might be needed, diplomats said.

They pressed the United States to agree to the new humanitarian fund, even though that kind of assistance may be an indirect benefit to Hamas. The United States agreed on condition the fund be temporary and limited to programs that meet basic needs, a senior State Department official said. ”It would be against our values to let people starve,” said Marc Otte, the EU’s special envoy for the Mideast.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the European Union would take the lead in setting up the new fund. The United States is not expected to contribute. The United Nations and Russia, the other partners in the Quartet peacemaking group along with the U.S., also endorsed the program. The international group issued a warning to Hamas three months ago that it risked a loss of international aid if it did not change its policies. “The thrust of this is the international community is still trying to respond to the needs of the Palestinian people,” Rice said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
