Well, with Jacques, you bet it’s probably his own back he wants to watch. But in any case he’s got a plan afoot to finance the PA through the World Bank, not surprisingly funneling the dough through Abbas’ familiar hands (been there – and gone – before). What’s consistent about the French way of doing business (high and low ) is the easy acceptance of corruption that frustrates us anglosaxons. It’s as if everyone in France has agreed to be on the dole from the top to the bottom of society – and to distribute the largesse to minions like Abbas no matter what their record of “redistribution.” Great as long as it works – but talk about deficit spending.
Why on earth should the rest of the world pay the salaries of 165,000 Palestinian civil servants? No wonder France is so effed up.
Largesse to bribe the Arab and North African suburbs of French cities, largesse to bribe the Arabs in the Middle East. France at least is consistent in its decadence.

And one can only speculate on the size of Jacques’s commission, too.
