4. Why is that?, it's not on any of the forum rules as far as I can see.

It's news to me.

3. questions.

seriously, I love IAK. They're hysterical. the downside is that they damage the palestinian cause by way of fabricating so much false propaganda. Mixing fake statistics with a liberal sprinking of anti-semitism is not going to win much influence or respect. Unless you suffer from severe brain dumbness or something.

Why are they comparing the amount of aid given to Israel vs. the amount given only to Palestinian development orgs? Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the amount of aid going to ALL of Palestine/Palestinians? And why leave out all the $$ we give Palestinians through UNRWA? Or other non-NGO's? And, hey... this says that the US gives Israel 5.5 billion dollars a year! That doesn't seem right. Oh, it looks like they added in all of the foreign aid the US gives to... EGYPT? I guess because of the 79 camp david agreement.

It's been awhile since I've gone to IAK. They never fail to impress.
