“Israel says it won’t transfer January tax revenues to PA
By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent

Israel will not transfer this past month’s tax revenues earmarked for the Palestinian Authority, a senior government source in Jerusalem said Sunday.”

Well it is their money, but f*ck it you just can’t take the risk. They’ll be spending it on death camps and ovens. This is our survival at stake. Our back is to the sea.

And this is a real gem;

“According to a senior diplomatic source, “The main consideration in favor of transferring the money is that this is Palestinian money.” He went on to say halting payments would not constitute a violation of agreements with the PA, because Israel agreed to transfer tax money solely to former PA Finance Minister Salem Fayyad. “Since Fayyad resigned, the agreement is no longer valid,” he said.”

So there you go. Beautiful. It’s their money, so we should give it to them. But we only give to one guy. If that guy’s not around, we keep it. That’s fair.

Even though Hamas's past rhetoric has not been very helpful, I think once they actually have legitimate political power they will be more reasonable. Still some basic ground rules need to be established before Israel should even consider talks. <br/><br/>Without an unambiguous declaration of Israel's right to exist within, at least, 1967 borders, Israel would be mad to even acknowledge Hamas.
