From Sammy: "This past weekend I met a family friend (and businessman) who recently
returned from Palestine. He informed me he had set up a meeting with
Ramallah governor Leila Ghanam. He proposed to donate hundreds of thousands of
dollars for a modern emergency room in Ramallah with all the latest medical
equipment in the memory of a family member who had recently passed away. They
got turned down saying the PA doesn't have the doctors to support such a plan
and training for use in the equipment .. Makes you think that the fuck have they
been doing with all that foreign aid over the years for them not being able to
provide adequate medical care/equipment for the Palestinian people. There are
stories of Palestinians dying due to simple causes due to lack of medical
treatment. Anyways, further meetings with other officials such as the Ministry
of Health and others came up with a better idea..have the family donate the
money to them and they'll take care of the project...yeah right!
Feel free to pose anything written here.

P.S. Leila Ghanam, who is often paraded on television as being the first
female Palestinian governor, is from a local Ramallah village named Deir Debwan.
There, her father (Dawoud) and brother (Mohamed) do as they like with impunity.
They come from a family of Palestinian intelligence officials. The local
villagers are sick of them. For example, Mohamed, a mukabarat official, had his
car burned earlier this year. It was reportedly blamed on settlers (link below).
But my family is from Deir Debwan and settlers have never stepped foot there. It
was most likely done to settle scores by other Palestinians."
