OSLO, Norway - Norway resumed direct aid to the Palestinian administration with a $10 million transfer, after it became the first Western country to recognize the new Hamas-led coalition, the foreign minister said Thursday.
"We hope our contribution will help ease the social crisis the Palestinians are now going through," said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere. He said the aid will be used to pay wages for civilian public servants.
The United States, the
European Union and other countries cut off direct aid to the
Palestinian Authority last year after a government led by the Islamic militant Hamas party, which is committed to the destruction of
Israel, took office.
Lack of aid spurred a Palestinian financial crisis, disrupting health care and other government-funded programs and halting infrastructure projects.
Norway recognized a new coalition, which included Hamas and the moderate
Fatah party, when it took office in March, and earlier this month announced it would resume direct aid.
"The critical situation in Gaza has many causes, but social need and desperation draw in a negative directions," Stoere said. "It is especially important for the Palestinian authorities to receive economic aid from the international community."
Many Western countries have refused to recognize the new government until Hamas renounces violence, recognizes Israel's right to exist, and accepts previous peace agreements between the Palestinians and Israel. |

The na�vet�, of Europeans is astounding.
The Hamas Charter:

Article Thirteen: Peaceful Solutions, [Peace] Initiatives and International Conferences
[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement.
When our enemies usurp some Islamic lands, Jihad becomes a duty binding on all Muslims. In order to face the usurpation of Palestine by the Jews, we have no escape from raising the banner of Jihad.
The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine has been an Islamic Waqf throughout the generations and until the Day of Resurrection, no one can renounce it or part of it, or abandon it or part of it. No Arab country nor the aggregate of all Arab countries, and no Arab King or President nor all of them in the aggregate, have that right, nor has that right any organization or the aggregate of all organizations, be they Palestinian or Arab, because Palestine is an Islamic Waqf throughout all generations and to the Day of Resurrection.
Hamas regards Nationalism (Wataniyya) as part and parcel of the religious faith. Nothing is loftier or deeper in Nationalism than waging Jihad against the enemy and confronting him when he sets foot on the land of the Muslims. And this becomes an individual duty binding on every Muslim man and woman; a woman must go out and fight the enemy even without her husband�s authorization, and a slave without his masters� permission.

But if you want naive Europeans to send Euros your way, just build a hospital (make sure to invite the media to the grand opening!) and use the language of Marxist class oppression. Europeans just love that stuff! They can't resist! |
