THEY ARE NOT WITH US

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 16, 2006 08:13 PM

How did our “friends,” Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, respond when we cut off and suspended $300 million in aid to the Hamas terrorist-controlled Palestinian Authority?

They lined up against us:

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have pledged $80m in aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian government, finance minister Omar Abdelrazek said yesterday.

“We have received pledges from the Arab world that will help us operate for several months,” the minister said on the website of Hamas. “In all, $20m from Saudi Arabia, $40m from Kuwait and $20m from the UAE are to be transferred,” he said. “We will not collapse despite the war being waged against us by the racist Zionists, by the United States and the European Union,” he said.

Abdelrazek said earlier that the government still faced a $120m monthly budget shortfall, despite having received $35m from Algeria. European Union governments yesterday endorsed the suspension of direct aid to the Palestinian Authority, the bloc’s Austrian presidency said.

Iran is kicking in more than $50 million. Russia has also pledged aid to Hamas.
