STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Abbas warned on Tuesday of an "explosion of anger" among Palestinians if international donors did not move fast to restore aid cut off in recent weeks.
These clowns have been exploding (literally) for years. So what else is new?
International donors including the European Union and the United States have suspended aid to the Palestinian Authority because of the Hamas-led government's failure to renounce violence and recognise Israel since coming to power in March.
In other words, they have been exploding... usually around women and children.
The EU, the Palestinians' largest dhimmi donor, has been charged with coming up with a way of restarting aid for the most urgent needs while bypassing Hamas officials. But the EU acknowledges it could take weeks to get a new aid mechanism working.
I might feel worse if we had elected Theodore Kaczynski president. But we didn't, we threw him in a supermax.
"Life will be frozen and there will be an explosion of rat-poison-coated nail bombs anger and this would lead to a chaotic situation of which we cannot forsee the results," Abbas told a news conference after a speech to the European Parliament in the French city of Strasbourg.
I think I can forsee the results. My magic 8-ball must be better than his.
"I would like to adopt the mechanism as quickly as possible so the crisis does not take place," he added.
So the exploding will take place at regular intervals instead of a big clump?
"We are waiting, but we hope that we do not have to wait too long. We are in a race against time and therefore we have to be swift in the steps we undertake in order to avoid this catastrophe," he said.
A hurricane is a catastrophe. A tsunami is a catastrophe. Idiots blowing themselves up by choice is not a catastrophe. They are the wages of insanity and sin. IMHO, of course. |
