I am so tired of this.
Lady, you are so bloody bassackwards with this. Letting them come here is what you DON'T want to do. This is moronic liberalism - that all we need to do is let them in our schools and they will see we mean peace. Please. Al Azhar is one of the oldest universities in the world and it isn't more than 1000 miles away from them. Let them go there. Let them go to the University of Cairo - over 100 years old. University of Beirut - another of the oldest schools in the world - LET THEM go there. University of Bologna - one of the OLDEST in Europe - let them go there. We don't need them and Ms Clinton - giving them the best education in the world DOESN'T CHANGE THE HEARTS OR MINDS OF PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU. Just look at the Palestinians who now inhabit our schools and who protest at every opportunity against the biased US media and Jew-controlled US government.
Just hand out another $500 to American students, to pay fees.
Buy more American flags and hand them out - you would accomplish more in the long run than paying Palestinians to come here and educate us about their issues.

Clinton Announces Million-Dollar Scholarship Program for Palestinian Students
Ramallah, West Bank — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced a new million-dollar scholarship program to help Palestinian students enroll at Palestinian and American universities.
Mrs. Clinton announced the Middle East Partnership Initiative during a visit to this Palestinian town last week. The four-year program will support about 10 scholarships each year for disadvantaged students to attend four-year courses at Palestinian universities. The program will also offer 25 “opportunity grants” to enable promising but disadvantaged young Palestinians to apply to American-accredited institutions in the United States or the Middle East, a State Department official told The Chronicle.
Once funds are approved by Congress, Mrs. Clinton hopes to begin the program in the 2010-11 academic year. The money is in addition to $900-million in aid to the Palestinian Authority announced by the secretary last week at the donors’ conference, in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.
