Clinton to propose aid for Palestinians

SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt--Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday

will propose an aid package of over $900 million for the Palestinians,

but only $300 million will be earmarked to provide humanitarian aid to

Gaza, according to State Department spokesman Robert Wood.

The rest of the funds that Clinton will pledge--roughly $600

million--will go to support the Palestinian Authority, headquartered on

the West Bank, in an effort to bypass Hamas, the militant group that

rules Gaza, Wood said. The U.S. government has no direct dealings with

Hamas.

Clinton will outline the U.S. aid pledge Monday at the opening of an

international conference on assistance for Gaza. She is on her first

trip to the Middle East as secretary of state and her visit is turning

into an early introduction in the seemingly intractable obstacles to

quick progress on Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

Gaza was left in ruins after an Israeli offensive aimed at halting

rocket attacks, but the Obama administration has struggled in recent

weeks to devise a plan for providing humanitarian aid to the densely

populated area without aiding Hamas in the process.

"We want to make sure we're not working through Hamas, but we also

want to make sure we support the Palestinian Authority," Wood told

reporters, adding that the aid package will have to be approved by

Congress before it can be spent.

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When
people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and
ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the
Palestinians love their children more than they hate us."
