UNDP Funds Palestinian Political Campaign
Tuesday, August 16, 2005

GAZA — The Gaza Strip (search) is one of the poorest, most overpopulated areas in the world with 1.4 million Palestinians crammed into a 100-square-mile area. With 50 percent unemployment, the vast majority of Gazans live below a poverty line of $2 a day.

It's exactly the kind of situation that the United Nations Development Program was set up to deal with, and the U.N. is spending millions of dollars there every year.

But FOX News has discovered that not all that cash is going to alleviate poverty. Instead, some of it is funding a Palestinian political campaign under the slogan, "Today Gaza, tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem."

For the record, I only use Fox News, which I detest, when they cover a legitimate story that nobody else picks up. The full article is here.
