Israel stealing from Palestinians?

""The PA is -- in practice -- becoming a terrorist authority," acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told his Cabinet at the beginning of its meeting Sunday. "Israel will not hold contacts with a government in which Hamas takes part."

The Cabinet decided to stop the transfer of the roughly $55 million a month it collects in taxes and tariffs on behalf of the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian experts estimate the Palestinian budget shortfall is about $1 billion a year, and the funds collected by Israel would cover about half of that.

The Cabinet also decided to ask the international community to stop giving money to the Palestinians, though it said humanitarian aid should continue."

Now I think we're all in agreement that bombing Muslims and bull-dozing their houses is justified, but confiscating their tariffs to punish them for electing a government you don't like? And not even trying to cover it up? Isn't that below even Israel?

Your right. But at least the Muslims have the balls to keep to their horibbly deluded faith, rather than the Christians who have decreacing lost power since the emergance of modern society.
The simple solution is : They are fanatic. If they wish to interact with the west and live here, they will have to become less so and drop the ALLAHUACKBAR im going to bomb you for drawing mohammed. Otherwise, they stay in the middle east with the fanaticism and leave US alone. While we in the west leave THEM alone. NOT attack them for Oil, or create a illegal state right in their heartland of their sworn enemies lol? By responding with Genoside we would prove to be as bad as them. But i say, if after all of the above had been put into place, and they attack us once more for fanaticisms sake, We blow them out.
That is compromise.
