Though still rejecting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to Israel, Olmert promised Palestinians to aid them in absorbing the refugees. Shimon Peres’ “Peace Center” money laundering outfit estimated the cost of absorption up to 80 billion dollars. As usual, Palestinians will steal most of the money. Israeli leaders, naturally, look to share in the bountiful distribution. Israel recently experienced a major scandal over the dismal living conditions of Holocaust survivors, and Israeli Finance Ministry generously added $20 a month to their pensions. But Israel would always find $80 billion for our good Palestinian neighbors.
