However, if you are squeamish about it, the Egyptian embassy in Canada is in Ontario, and the email address for it is http://www.mfa.gov.eg/Missions/Canada/Ottawa/Embassy/… Continue

The Israel donors conference by Amira Hass (Haaretz)

The Israel donors conference By Amira Hass The extent of the funding pledged to the Palestinian Authority by donor countries reflects the extent of their support for Israel and its policies. The American taxpayers' contribution to the Ramallah government's bank account is dwarfed by the large sums the U.S. government donates to Israel every year.
