My issue is simply this, how will you get the funds in the right place in such a corrupt environment? While the goal is good I fear the results will get tainted as the majority of aid unfortunately has been so far. I feel Palastine is not in a position to recieve donations with the current system in power.

BTW you can't ever claim 100% and that was never my intent. Hamas was poled as having majority support and even being more favourable then the more moderate pa. That's a fact. Does that mean they should be eliminated? No, of course not but let's not pretend they weren't and maybe aren't (?) liked now.

And the thing is we can't because if you have a different view people really don't like it and get really sad. Most of what Ive claimed is easily researchable but look how upset people get.

I don't think the onus is on Palestinian civilians who are survivors of war to answer to that. The onus is on those providing aid to ensure it's used for its intended purpose.

I've heard this argument many times before and question its intention. I wonder if Americans and other Westerners face a similar moral dillema everytime they pay taxes or engage in commerce with corporations that financially support morally questionable regimes or corporate practice. Somehow, I don't think that they do.

An election from 15 years ago does not disqualify those in suffering from aid today or in perpetuity. I'm glad that the government of Canada agrees with that.

You didn't even try to explain how our government will ensure it goes as intended. I wasn't asking palastine anything, I was asking how our government can ensure its funds are used as intended in such a corrupt environment. They can't just give it to Hamas because Hamas are terrorists. So how can it actually reach where it should at this point of time?
