PATV: Starving is preferable to US Food

Introduction:
These two photos are frames from an hour-long Palestinian Authority TV film
broadcast today, July 4th. The clip, depicting the hardships of Jenin,
includes a child and an elder pushing away food brought by AID workers.
Although the box does not have the full lettering - "USAID" [United States
Agency for International Developement] - the PA message is explicit, stated
by one of the residents: "Enough of these nice lies, we're sick of fraud and
deceit. Tell the Deceiver: the people will die of hunger... will not live
in humiliation!"
