He holds this money in trust? What would you think if Bush transferred the 87 Billion recently approved to his own money market account. All the Palestinians I know hate him and know he is a complete fraud.
Years ago he nearly died in a plane crash. He also nearly lost the notebook that he kept the finances of the PLO recorded in. This bothered him a great deal more. He controls everything in Palestine through the purse strings. This is why he is afraid of HAMAS and Hezbollah, they do not rely on him for funding and have an independant political base.
If he was serious about peace, he would stop trying to instill hate in generations of Palestinian youth. The Israelis would also do well to stop this too. It is difficult to foresee two nations living peaceably side by side.
