Racism or Common Sense?!
Reader comment on item: Palestinians Don't Deserve Additional Aid

Dear Mr. Pipes,

The European Union has given about 800 million Euros to the Palestinian Authority and none of that money has been used to benefit the civilian population.

You are absolutely right in your approach: "Palestinians don't deserve additional aid".

The money we Europeans have sent them has not been used to build hospitals and schools. Palestinians have used Euro-aid to buy bombs and kill Israeli civilians.

Your figures are 100% correct.

Western PC elites ban criticism against the Palestinians. The PC brigade would brand Daniel Pipes as a "racist" for daring speak the truth about the Palestinians and international aid.

To me, what Daniel Pipes writes is just common sense.
