New York – After meeting with Israeli and Palestinian leaders this week, Brooklyn Rep. Anthony Weiner said he will call for a suspension of U.S. aid to the Palestinians until they return to peace talks with Israel.

“I think we need a better handle on what we’re trying to achieve with our tax dollars,” said Weiner in a conference call from Jerusalem with reporters. “We have been trying to prop up Abu Mazen when, in fact, a large number of Palestinians, if not, the majority support Hamas. We’ve been leading with our heart rather than our head.”
Abu Mazen is the nom de guerre of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Weiner said he was convinced that Israel is ready to resume peace talks but does not have a partner. Holding back the Jewish Theological Seminary aid, he suggested, could break the impasse.
Now everybody will call to do the same to Israel…
Why not cut aid to any nation that teaches children to kill infidels, or celebrates in the streets when america is attacked?
WAY TO GO ANTHONY!!! we need more people like you.
isn’t he the one that married a Muslim???
We all should pressure the Palastinians, NO FINANCIAL AID UNTIL GILAD IS BROUGHT HOME! No water, that Israel provides! No electric, that Israel provides! No schools, that US supplies! No Hospitals, which US supports!
Anthony Weinershnitzel is despicible. He will pander to whichever group he is speaking to & needs their votes. He was at the HASC concert some 4 or 5 years ago & turned it into a Vote for Anthony Weinershnitzel Night. In fact, it was for that reason as well as the ‘comedian’ they had making choyzik of the President that I stopped going to HASC concerts. I could not fathom how HASC of all agencies could have someone making fun of another person.
Boy, this must go down well with his Saudi Arabian Kallah. Maybe he wants ois shidduch & doesn’t know how to tell her. This should work!
