Within 30 days after the money is received, Swiss bank accounts will be overflowing//
2. It won't get off the ground ....

First off, the phoney peace process is going nowhere. Second, Hamas is waiting in the wings, ready to take-over the West Bank. Third, much of the money will be siphoned off - kind of like money-laundering for Arab business men. Fourth, money will be diverted to pay for security & other gov't. personnel, it will be pissed away on salaries. Fifth, some funds will be embezzled outright, kick-backs, pay-offs, commissions, etc. Sixth, much of this is just talk, the funds won't show up. Seventh, mismanagement will waste a lot of money. These big, grandiouse projects are the wrong way to build an economy. Small start-up businesses that grow "naturally" create a real economy. These people want showcase projects that become white elephants.
3. Pa will steal or blame Israel for bovious failures

4. to # 1+2: i'm sure u r talkin' abt fatah businessmen, why

don't we try Hamas, since they're the guys rulin’ most of the Palestinian territories?! Gaza is bein’ run very smoothly now and Gazans seem to be more law-abidin’ under the Hamas regime! Definitely worth a try! Don't negotiate with the weak Abbas find the out who the influential people are and talk to them if we r ever interested in peace and calm. Don't tell me abt their desire to wipe Israel off the map because there are so many states and organisations with the same goal!! We r hated, let’s just face for once!! Goin’ so hard on your enemy doesn't always give you what you want!! Sometimes you have to look like you lost the battle in order to win the war and emerge victorious at the end. Thx for readin’
