Black holes…writes Michael Kuttner
The current conventional understanding of these phenomena is that nothing can escape being sucked into the seemingly mysterious holes in space.However in a dramatic discovery this week an Israeli scientist may have paved the way to proving Hawking’s black hole theory. This challenges current belief that nothing can escape black holes and instead demonstrates that mysterious celestial bodies are slowly evaporating. The ramifications of this theory are unclear to all but a few select scientists.

This discovery may be earth shattering to some. For those of us however who follow the machinations of what passes for international diplomacy as far as it impacts the Middle East in general and Israel in particular, the presence of black holes and their ability to make matter disappear is something which has been around for many years. It certainly is no mystery except to those who still delight in living in a parallel universe, lost in an outer space of unreality and starry eyed political correctness.
Ever since the fatally flawed Oslo accords which resurrected the terrorists led by Arafat and created the corrupt Palestinian Authority, the international community has been pouring billions of dollars into not one but a multitude of black holes. These Government sanctioned funds which are your tax monies have with increasing frequency vanished into unaccountable bottomless pits. Instead of being used to resettle refugees, improve the economic deprivation of citizens and provide health, education and social welfare improvements, the aid has been siphoned off for various nefarious purposes. How do you think the terror tunnels are financed? Who pays for the huge quantities of weapons being amassed by terror groups with the nod and wink of the Oslo created Arab Authority?
Why have donor nations turned a blind eye to what has been happening ever since 1993? What reason can be given for nations such as Australia and New Zealand year after year pouring millions into the coffers of UNRWA? Now that the worms are crawling out of the World Vision can with others not far behind is there any justification for this continual avalanche of dollars?
In case you think I am exaggerating somewhat here are some facts which put the whole scam into some sort of perspective.
Since the establishment of Palestinian Arab self rule in Gaza and large parts of the West Bank (of the Jordan River) since 1993, the US Government has committed over US$4 billion. The Palestinian Authority is among the world’s largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid. In December 2007 during the Paris donor conference, the international community pledged over $7.7 billion for the years 2008 to 2010. Another $4.5 billion was subsequently earmarked for reconstruction in Gaza. Well, we all know what sort of construction has been undertaken there. Terror tunnels it seems are top priority.
Who are the most generous donors? The United States followed by the European Union which includes Scandinavian countries.
One would assume that this torrent of beneficence would result in massive improvements in the lives of ordinary Palestinian Arabs and a building boom of clinics, schools, hospitals and recreational and cultural facilities. In actual fact the only boom that has resulted has been the sound of explosives as they are used against Israelis. In Gaza the investment has been diverted to producing rockets and digging tunnels from which terror attacks against Israeli civilians are launched.
Not all the international aid has been siphoned off for weapons. Large amounts have “disappeared” into black holes of various dimensions. Yet other funds are used to pay salaries to terrorists incarcerated in Israeli jails for murdering Israelis. Even more money is being utilized to pay pensions to terrorist families including those designated as “martyrs” who were killed while carrying out their “heroic” deeds.
The Palestinian Authority has hit on a fool proof method of extracting more money from gullible western democracies. All it needs to do is accuse the evil Zionists of endless crimes and at the same time threaten that the imminent collapse of the Authority will herald an apocalypse of Biblical proportions and lo and behold the millions if not the billions will start flowing again. It works every time which raises an obvious question. How many more millions sucked into black holes will it take for taxpayers of donor nations to rise up in revolt against this continual highway robbery? Some overdue stirrings of unease are already discernable as can be seen on this video and in the hard hitting commentary written a year ago by a respected Arab journalist:

In Ramallah a Presidential Palace is being built which will cost $13 million and include two helipads. The whole project covers 27 dunams which equals 6.6 acres or 2.67 hectares. No better proof of the imbecilic nature of what passes for international aid and double standards can be evident.
Whether you believe in the current scientific black hole theory of inescapable disappearance or the new discovery of evaporating matter the end results are the same. Billions of your money is going down the gurgler. Your money is being used to finance terror, hate and incitement as well as grandiose schemes which will not improve the miserable lot of those it is ostensibly designated to assist.
Unless the taxpayers of donor nations protest loud and clear, this farce will continue forever.
