While the rest of the civilized world is cutting off the Palestinians and their new terrorist government, Sweden, whose desire to appease the worst Islamic fanatics knows no bounds, has decided to increase their funding of terrorism.
And who do they blame for Hamas? Israel.
Sweden increases Palestinian aid
Sweden's state-run aid group on Monday pledged more than five million euros in additional aid to the Palestinian territories as Israel and the United States halted much of their funding following Hamas's election victory.
"The humanitarian situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has worsened," the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) said in a statement, adding that it would provide 50 million kronor (6.4 million dollars) to the United Nations' aid programs there.
In 2005, SIDA donated nearly 100 million kronor to the Palestinian territories, a spokesman for the group told AFP.
The additional aid was necessary since Israel was not living up to its responsibility as an occupying power, Peter Lundberg of SIDA's humanitarian unit said in a statement.
"According to the fourth Geneva convention, the occupying power has a particular responsibility to support and ensure the human dignity of the occupied," he said.
"Since Israel is not living up to its responsibility under international law, large parts of the Palestinian population are now completely dependent on international humanitarian aid," Lundberg added.
Yep, you gotta "ensure the dignity" of a people who elect terrorists as their leaders. Yep. Yep.
Since President Bush said that if you stand with terrorists that you are a terrorist, Sweden is now officially a terrorist state. The US government, and the American people, should boycott Sweden. Cut off the little appeasing fuckers, and now.
