No wonder Oslo didn’t work (because those bastards stole all the money)
According to today’s Yediot Aharonot daily newspaper, Palestinian Authority head (Arafat) and his henchmen have been smuggling tens of millions of dollars to Europe.

“The U.S. has received a report from Israel that states that senior officials in the PA have lately been transferring tens of millions of dollars to bank accounts in Europe – to be at their disposal in the event of the PA collapsing.

High-ranking Israeli officials said yesterday that, “Lately, we’ve been identifying transfers of huge amounts of money by the heads of the PA, who are preparing for their future.”

[…] It is reported that, in the last few days, Yasser Arafat has transferred 5.1 million dollars of Saudi aid to the PA to his Paris bank account. The purpose: To finance the upkeep of his property and the needs of his wife, Suha, and his daughter, Zahwa.”

Remember those hungry demonstrators in Gaza, waving pita (bread) on long poles? What about their needs?

“The Jerusalem officials said that Abu Mazen, PLO no.2, transferred 70 million dollars of PA money to Europe, “funneling” it through the bank accounts of his billionaire businessman brother who operates in the Persian Gulf.

As an example of Palestinian extravagance, the Israeli official said that Arafat’s spokesman is paid a monthly salary of forty thousand dollars.” (My emphasis and translation).

According to Yediot Aharonot, all this was made public by Israel as a response to International demands that Israel thaws Palestinian money frozen in Israel to be used for humanitarian causes. It seems to me that it will all just go to filling more Swiss bank accounts, or financing more massacres.
