Both may be true. “Palestinian” children may starve, while their jihadi leaders spend the billions in aid they get from their easy marks in the West on private planes and other perks of authoritarian rule.
“Amid funding cut fears, PA purchases $50 million private jet for Abbas — report,” Times of Israel, January 24, 2018:
Even as the Palestinian Authority faces major funding cuts from the US, it has purchased a new luxurious $50 million private jet to be used by President Mahmoud Abbas, Hadashot news reported Wednesday….
Funding for the plane was said to have been provided both from the PA budget ($20 million) and from the Palestinian National Fund ($30 million)….
When US President Donald Trump originally threatened to cut aid earlier this month, top PLO official Saeb Erekat said it would lead to starvation among Palestinian refugee children.
“Now, he is threatening to starve Palestinian children in refugee camps and deny their natural rights to health and education, if we don’t endorse his terms and dictations,” Erekat said, referring to Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Israel’s prime minister does not have and has never had a private plane.
Linde Barrera says
Abbas will “milk” his office for all he can. ? Who says the devil is not alive and well? And I doubt that Abbas gives a good kitty whether any Palestinian child starves.
Westman says
He has a long way to go to surpass the $1,000,000,000 stolen by Arafat. Let’s give thug Abbas some street cred – he’s working feverishly to catch up.

Stop giving all these s**thole countries, enemies of western democracy nations anything. When Saudi Arabia and moslem nations allow Christian churches and other people faiths houses of worship and when they start to become part of humanity then we’ll see how it goes until then NADA, NO MONEY HONEY!! FOR THE BIG BAD MOSLEM TERRORISTS!!

R Russell says
If he would stop funding terrorism none would die. I can’t see Trump being manipulated by his remarks
gravenimage says
True, R Russel. But–as Golda Meir noted, Muslims will never love their children more than they hate Jews.
samdav7 says
LOL
This is funny
But not new
Muslims are the world masters of lies and deception .. using Taqiah ( lies and deception even under oath ) with non-Muslims is a solid rule in their Quran
When Muslims are given free money they forget about their own god, let alone their poor children in camps.
Elizabeth Lawson says
Corruption in the PA is legendary. This fifty million dollar jet purchase is just another example of it. The leaders of the PA, Hamas, Hezbullah, and like death and torture dealing organizations, do not care for or about their own people one whit. What they care about is all that they know, and all that they have EVER known: slaughter, murder. rioting – and war, war, eternal war. The word PEACE is.not in their DNA. Should peace, by whatever divine miracle occur, these rascals would be returned to their nonentity status on the streets as the beggars that they are.

Why is it America’s duty to provide for Palestinian citizens? That’s surely the job of the Palestinian government. Or does the civilised world owe these people a living?
Thomas Kimball says
It’s not our duty to fund the PA but it would be funny to hear what the gross GNP of the Palestinians was for 2017! Do those idiots even have any industries besides suicide vests ?
Phil Copson says
” Do those idiots even have any industries besides suicide vests ?”
Flags and matches ?

There is a very large sympathy generation plant located in Gaza. It supplies BS to most of the civilized world using our local media transmission lines. Self hating communists consume the output and use it to fuel their hatred for the West.
It has been a good arrangement for everyone so far.

These Muslims are ridiculously lucky, really. They’ve been allowed to coast for 14 centuries now, living their lives to their primitive, savage notions – and being able to reach out and clutch at any new advancement or innovation that the rest of the species has worked hard to achieve.
Muslims, if they were forced to rely upon themselves, would only be getting around by riding a horse or camel, full stop. Buggar private jets. They wouldn’t have telephone networks, let alone mobile phones. Forget about computers, forget about bitumen tarred roads, forget about electricity, forget about ALL of it. They would be living in tents in the desert, riding around on horses and camels, trading with one another.
To see Abbas who brays about the so-called Palestinian and its so-called Plight, who then waddles his obese arse on to his own private jet – is hilarity made manifest.

While complaining that “Palestinians” will starve because of Trump’s cuts, PA buys Abbas $50,000,000 private jet
……………………..
Well, this is grimly hilarious.
WPM says
Money its a crime share it fairly don,t take a slice of my pie
Money its a hit don,t give me that do goody too shoe bullshit
Four star caviar, Lear jet think I have not milked the Palestinian problem enough yet!
StellaSaidSo says
‘…think I have not milked the Palestinian problem enough yet!’
Well said, WPM. This is EXACTLY what the ‘Palestinian’ ’cause’ is all about. It is an artificial device by which the few get rich, at the expense of the many, courtesy of foreign funding. It was a cash cow for Arafat, who made a huge personal fortune out of it, and his successors have followed his example. Abbas doesn’t give a toss about ‘the Palestinian people’. He is p*ssed because Trump has derailed his personal gravy train (or should that be gravy jet?).
WPM says
Yes both the late Arafat and this newest pile of donkey dung the poverty pimps using poor uneducated people as props to get money from guilt ridden Westerns. Paying life time pensions to families whose bread winners hit the Palestinian lotto by murdering innocent people .Giving aid to this fiend so he can encourage more young people to murder innocent people while the murder,s family get free money for life ! Is Arafat,s pretty widow enjoying her millions as she lives the highlife in France! This is were my tax dollars are going I would be happier and safer if they just threw the money in a giant bonfire ..

That’s the goal !!!!!
Older Canadian says
From whom did they buy the jet from?
I want to know who in collaborating and obviously profiting in this.
PRCS says
That’s a good point and something the U.S. taxpayer needs to know about.
Couldn’t find any info on that. Suggest, however–as the final GulfStream 450 has already been delivered–it might be a Gulfstream V.
We’ll know for sure in a few weeks.
roberta says
I for one hope they do go hungry. Hunger makes for innovation and change. It will give them a clearer perspective on just where their bread is buttered…………..Just dreaming for a second.
A half starved dog loves his owner more than a dog that has a full stomach. Dogs are
not smart enough to realize that the guy who is half feeding him is also the guy who is half starving him.
When the food does finally come the dog is even more grateful due to the hunger.
Indiana Tom says
“Amid funding cut fears, PA purchases $50 million private jet for Abbas Well, that is $ 50 million less to fund terrorism. I hope the PA blows even more money on stupid stuff.

Thanks for that telling video, Flavius. Do these look like “needy refugees” to anyone?
Arthur says
Well, I’m sure the “Starving Children” budget and the “Transportation” budget are practically impossible to mix due to strict accounting rules. Abbas probably had account favorability and needed to spend it to prevent future cuts in the budget. He really had no choice at all.

No private jet. Let Abbas take the bus.

None of the money these parasites got ever went to the people we intended it for so I say cut them off completely.

Shouldn’t we have told them long ago that their brats won’t get free food until they stop yelling about killing people?
Hogdude says
This purchase does not help the Palestinian cause in the world among those who contribute to these thugs. However, deluded folks will continue to support them because of their hate for Israel. Oh, well, waste your money on a worthless cause.
Jerome Henen says
In the history of morons , Abbas must rank right up there with the top 10.
