Gossip.. anyone heard of these?

Hobbes

Another private forum I'm part of (US one.. always fun). I'm looking for valid information on any of these. I have found news stories for some of them, but they are all on what I would call questionable sites (eg. NRA site saying guns is good would be questionable to me )

- Israel gun down girl who is US civilian (with baby) and buried in car park.

Which isn't being wildly reported (according to news articles I've seen) but is why the turnaround from Bush in 1 day on Israel (Friday it was relaxed towards Israel, Saturday it's get out).

- EU funds the PLO terrorist activities

Says it all really :rolleyes: Closest I could find was that the EU gives funding to palistine for humanitarian aid.

Apparently the US not the EU are Funding PLO terror

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), chairman of the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, has introduced the "Peace with Security Act" fingering Yasser Arafat as an enemy of Israel. The bill seeks to end U.S. funding of the Palestinian Authority and essentially labels Arafat a terrorist.

Among other things, the bill states, "The manner in which Chairman Arafat has employed terrorism as a legitimate policy instrument suggests that his aims include not only the establishment of a Palestinian state but also the complete elimination of Israel as the home of the Jewish people… Chairman Arafat preaches hostile and odious anti-Semitic propaganda against the State of Israel and refuses to stop terrorist attacks..."

It also points out the Palestinian Authority’s responsibility for attempting to smuggle in 50 tons of weapons that were seized through an Israeli army raid of a ship in the Red Sea.

I saw something on MSNBC TV news about an Arab American woman / girl being shot.

Also saw something (ireland.com?) about the EU giving the PA €50m to tide them over for the next three months, because they are getting their share of tax revenue (subject to auditing conditions).
