Translations of this item:

A road sign with Hebrew.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), an independent federal agency "that receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of State" has embarked on a four-year, $20-million project to help Palestinians prepare for statehood in the West Bank by replacing road signs that include Arabic, English, and Hebrew with ones just in Arabic and English.

Comment: So much for the prospects of normalization, harmonious peace, or a Palestinian population content to live side-by-side with Israel. (August 27, 2009)
