U.S. House approves sanctions against Palestinians
By an overwhelming 361 to 37 majority, the U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday approved legislation calling for sanctions against the Palestinian Authority.

The legislation would cut off all assistance to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, and place conditions on humanitarian assistance flowing through non-government organizations

Isn't that kind of redundant? Now that Israelis have essentially put the entire occupied territories under lockdown? Very little gets in or out of the territories nowadays.

6. My government: niallmac anti matter.
It is getting eerie how my government is diametrically positioned to my views on just about everything.
