Making the right call....

Way to let the Palestinians have the minimal amount of dignity that goes along with being able to pay their civil servants (and keep the government operating!)

The European Commission, the E.U.'s executive body, agreed Monday to provide $144 million to the Palestinian Authority, designating most of it for social programs and energy bills. About $20 million could be used for salaries.

Let's get this straight: I do not endorse suicide bombers or suicide bombings as a tactic. I do think we need to acknowledge the fact that the Palestinians only wanted change from a corrupt government, they don't necessarily believe that Israel shouldn't exist. It's important that we not let the Palestinians Authority fail and that we not allow the government to fail, because the alternative is much, much worse.
