    U.S. officials say the aid is intended to boost Palestinian public support for faltering peace talks with Israel by showing them tangible benefits from the process.

    Kerry announced the aid on Wednesday in Bethlehem, where he is meeting Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. Kerry met earlier Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

    The new aid brings the U.S. contribution to a Palestinian infrastructure program to $100 million.

    Why in the world should I work my butt off and pay taxes so that Obama should give it those terrorists! We should start a campaign for a national referendum on how to spend tax money!

    America should stop giving money. Israel should certainly stop, until the PA gurantee to remove terrorism from the educational curiculum.
    Atleast the Hamas education minister recently announced a new program to be introduced to all their schools to teach “resistance to the occupation”, which means they will become very smart enemies and suicide bombers. Millions of them soon.
    They will know of nothing else.
    If you would educate children to be lions, then there would be a major outcry and those those children will need to be locked up in cages for the rest of their lives, those that aren’t killed by the inevitable effort to capture them. Those children will be mauling and murdering everyone within reach, just like lions do.
    The same here with the education which these arabs are about to recieve.
    So there should no money for education anymore. Unless we can assure that this will not be on their curiculum.
