US aid, never genuine?

The US has already started "to negotiate" by threatening to withdraw their "humanitarian aid" to the Palestinians. Over and over again the US shows its true face. They teach very loudly the world about all kinds of honorable principles but do not stick to them themselves, rather to the double standard. The US is not giving aid the admirable altruistic way but as a very well calculated tool to rule the world. Read the history and judge yourself. Now they want to take the food out of the mouths of suffering Palestinians to force them to obey the US/Israeli rules of practical politics. More force was already on the table when the US warned it would veto the Palestinians' call in the UN for their own state. But the US has poor respect for the UN and mainly uses or contributes to it when they need support for their wars (Bush). Often they ignore paying their dues or are very slow to pay their share to the UN and are nowhere near the idealistic goal of giving 1% of GNP to the UN - rather they have opposed the whole organisation (Bolton) - because the UN challenged the Americans' bad habit of wanting to dominate the world.

Israel was never born as a result of direct negotiations with Palestinians. Israel declared theselves an independent state on Palestinian soil after Palestinians were overrun by the Brits and the mood of rest of the world after World War 2. The Palestinians are now the ones who benefit from the world mood, as a vast number of member states support the Palestinians' call for their own state, hopefully they will also enable a free Palestine with altruistic aid after the world guard of democracy, the Americans, have withdrawn their dictatorial aid-money.
