Eric..... ,   Israel....   (07.29.08)
live in nice homes.Instead of takeing care of the poor palestinian people.They steal the money for themselves and put it in Swiss banks.Then they have the impudence to ask for more money.If there is any money left they might buy guns,soo the poor people have something too do,shoot Israelies.Dont give them a cent untill they get there house in order.
5. Let the bastards go broke.What happened to the pledges?
Petra ,   usa   (07.29.08)
All they do is try and undermine the Israeli gov. Lose them and let them all move back to jordon. They aren't worth another dime. Apparently, the world thinks so as well. Let the Saudis, the Iranians, or the venezulaians give the beggars some change. Worthless dreck.
6. No brainer...
Don ,   Rock Branch, USA   (07.29.08)
All the PA has to do is take all the terrorists off its payroll and paying actual public employees would be a snap. How much are they sending to Gaza now, and for what again?
7. Let them go bankrupt.

The article conveniently skips over a certain issue, namely that the Arab countries that pledged aid have given almost nothing. Why should they when the suckers in the West will cough up the funds? But the Arabs are financially supporting Hamas which should tell you something. In any case, any aid to the PA is a mistake. All aid should be stopped. What has aid accomplished? It has fueled the conflict, it has made the PA totally irresponsible, it has encouraged them to hold to unrealistic demands, it has promoted corruption & mismanagement on an unprecented scale, & it has created a society of aid-dependant parasites. Let the PA fail & then throw them out - send them into exile & rectify the mistake we made when we brought all these terrorists, thieves, & thugs back after Oslo. And Hamas? Let the IDF deal with Hamas with no political interference.
8. #7 - Terry - Right on the button as usual
Millie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
The world has got to stop sucking up to the PA. And in addition, dissolve the terror-supporting UNRWA.
9. Didn't the World Just Pledge 8 Billion?
(07.29.08)
I don't understand why the Palestinians have to be rich when most Arabs are poor in other Middle Eastern countries.
10. Impossible to have a country with a MINUS GNP!!!

The old saying goes, “When your outgo exceeds your income your upkeep is your downfall”. The so called Balestinians are the largest welfare recipients in the entire world. 1. Their major exports are hate and terror. 2. They have absolutely no tourism or manufacturing base. 3. They have no tax base to support any infrastructure. 4. They have no assets to secure a loan with. 5. Their graft and corruption is unprecedented in modern world history. This is a people who have only successfully organized terror. Billions of world dollars are poured into this non-entity with no oversight or accounting yet when this is a failure the Jew hating world blames Israel? The Balestinians claim the biggest obstacle to peace is settlement building but what was their excuse in 1929, 1942, 1948 ad-infinitum! These arabs cannot have a country because they do not have what is required to be called a country. My suggestion for their problems arising from gross malfeasance is securing help from oil-rich muslim countries. In my humble opinion the only obstacle to what the world and arabs call peace is our natural Jewish instinct for survival. All this posturing, road maps and peace accords do is legalize Jew killing. The Balestinians need more money and land in order to kill more Jews, a very simplistic formula that has been played out with the help of the world. We need to remember that Jew killing has been refined to an art in Europe and the middle east. This blood thirst has been engrained into the very DNA of the goyim. So view this call for money and the inevitable outpouring of financial aid as more dead Jewish bodies, the world cannot help itself.
11. How can this be?, whi is under umbergo HAMAS OR FATAH?
Cerdic   (07.30.08)
