The German government said on Sunday it was reviewing its hundreds of millions of euros of aid for Palestinians following the biggest attack on Israel in years by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.

Development Minister Svenja Schulze said the government had always been careful to check that the money was only used for peaceful ends.

“But these attacks on Israel mark a terrible fracture,” she said. “We will now review our entire engagement for the Palestinian territories.”

    Nobody ever “reviews aid” for Israel, no matter what crimes they commit.

      Then again, Israel didn’t go into another country and behead people at the party.

        Yeah they just perpetuate a system of apartheid and kill innocent people all the time. Totally different and normal behaviour. Give them more weapons, boys!

          You are right, and wrong at the same time.

          Depends on who you are talking about and who you are talking to.
