Your Tax $$ At Work

Writing at Gatestone, Khaled Abu Toameh asks the question "What Are Palestinians Doing With U.S. Money?", concluding: "One does not have to be an expert on Palestinian affairs to see that the billions of dollars have neither created democracy for the Palestinians nor boosted the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."
During the past 20 years, the U.S. has invested $4.5 billion in promoting democracy among the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and boosting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
This is what Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah revealed during a meeting in Ramallah this week with Congressman Kevin McCarthy, Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. Hamdallah said that the money was also invested in projects in various Palestinian sectors.
The $4.5 billion that Hamdallah talked about does not include the billions of dollars poured on the Palestinian Authority (PA) since its creation in 1994. Palestinian economic analysts estimate that the PA has received a total of $25 billion in financial aid from the U.S. and other countries during the past two decades.
One of the "projects" financed by US donations may very well be Abbas's new Presidential Guest Palace. Now serving the 11th year of his 4 year term, Abbas is building himself a facility fit for a king:

There Goes Caroline!

There goes Caroline!
Caroline Glick, that is, of the Jerusalem Post, who's a straight-talking, no-BS kinda journalist, who knows what she's talking about.
Of course former Mossad chief Meir Dagan (who she is arguing with in video below), is just that, i.e., FORMER chief, and like many, if not most "former" intelligence chiefs, Mr. Dagan is now dabbling in Left-wing politics after having supported opposition head, Labor chief Isaac Herzog, for prime minister.
Room With A View
May 16, 2015
Looking for a room or apartment with a view?
Well, despite evidence to the contrary, anti-Israel advocates are still claiming that Gaza has been unable to rebuild following the 2014 war with Israel. The repeated claim is that thousands remain homeless, and that Gaza is under rubble.
NGO Gisha has claimed that not a single home has been rebuilt. Yet since August, over 62,000 tons of construction supplies have entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Forty-three thousand Gazans have purchased material to rebuild their homes.
This clip on YouTube is advertising vacant apartments in Gaza City. The apartments are spacious, with large balconies and spectacular views:
So if thousands are still homeless in Gaza, why the need to advertise vacant apartments on YouTube?
[p.s. BTW, although Israel regularly ships tens of thousands of tons of cement into Gaza, Hamas co-opts much of it to build its Terror Tunnels.]

"Mr. Netanyahu is one of the most media-savvy politicians on the planet. On Friday he appeared live via video link on 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' taking the host’s alternately sardonic and serious line of questioning with gazelle-like alacrity."
~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
