Donors pledge billions in aid for Palestinians, by monstris on Dec 18, 2007 12:43:34 GMT 1, There is something fishy however about having cross-table discussions with only half the representative population of Palestinians. The idea is to ghettoise and isolate Gaza and Hamas while being the good guy to Fatah and the West Bank surely?
Anyway. Different discussion for a different day...nice picture on the top of that article.

Yes I did notice that, not good, but on the other hand at least some progress can be made in other areas.

Unfortunately the Israeli's are now arming Fatah with heavy weaponry, better guns, armoured vehicles and tanks !... in order to fight Hamas, a party that won a democratic election.
