USA   (01.05.09)
.....the "Philistine" is speaking
32. Her Father-in law killed more of her own people than Israel
PHIL H   (01.05.09)
maybe the queen should ask her husband why his dad killed 5000 palestinians in one day back in the 70's in Black September...
33. Not legitimate w/o mentioning children of Israel and rocket
Mea   (01.05.09)
In other words, it is lip service.
34. and now the queen!
John ,   NYC,USA   (01.05.09)
Please, just stay in your dream life, lady! Your opinion is so useless and empty of thinking that it shows how not inteligent you are. That is the typicall comment. ITS A WAR!!!!!!!! And beacuse of HAMAS. Now handle it!
35. Queen Rania
Gabriel ,   Edinburgh UK   (01.05.09)
Queen Rania means well but contributing to UNRWA means that the Palestinian refugee problem will be perpetuated as a status quo rather than being solved once and for all. Meanwhile, useless people from around the globe are making careers and high salaries working for UNRWA at the expense of the refugees.
36. The world already DOES contribute to UNWRA
Danny   (01.05.09)
It is the Arabs, Iran and the rest of the Muslim world that doesn't. The largest contributor is the US
37. here is the link for 2006
Danny   (01.05.09)
http://www.un.org/unrwa/finances/pledges_dec06.html.. my bad on the arab states, they contribute around 10% of what the US does so not quite 0%/
38. Liar, liar
Frank ,   Canada   (01.05.09)
Rania will never provide help to Arab terrorists. She will never give them a Jordan passport.
39. More money needed for UNRWA
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.05.09)
The fact that UNRWA refuses to divulge where the billions already given them went is a non-issue. So where hamas been getting the billions needed to fund a terror infrastructure is a non-issue even though ONLY UNRWA was able to provide the conduit
40. Where were these people when Israeli children were targets
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (01.05.09)
They talk a nice game about how children have rights and should not be targets. But where were they when Hamas and others targeted Israeli kindergartens and schools? When kids spent 3+ years afraid of attacks that had no reason or clear target? But now Israel does precision targeted retaliations and it is a crisis for the children. What hypocrites.
41. Queen Rania
Marlene ,   Israel   (01.05.09)
What about the rights of Israeli woman and children. How much more money is going to be given to the Palestinians - they have nothing to show for the Billions in donations. This money will only be taken by Hamas to line their pockets and buy more ammunition
42. AND WHEN DID queen indignation EXPRESS SUCH OVER JEWS LOST
MOSHE ,   US   (01.05.09)
NEVER ! MOSHE
43. Where were the outrage?
Brod ,   USA   (01.05.09)
when the Islamist-Jihadists were raining rocket bombs on Israel? The best the Arab Islamist-Jihadist world can do is absorbing their people into their countries instead of making them usurp the Land of Israel from the Jews.
44. Hey queenie, put on your burqa & shut up !!
Jason Asman ,   boston U.S.A.   (01.05.09)
45. The Queen's comments
Naomi ,   Phila USA   (01.05.09)
If the Queen feels this way, Let her "kingdom" send aid to the terrorists in Gaza. I would like to see how she would handle living in Shderot with bombs hitting for the past several years.
46. Queen Rania should be as concerned for the children of
Rivkah   (01.05.09)
Israel who have been terrorized by Hamas and Hizbollah for many years. If Jordan's rulers were more concerned about the God of Abraham's people, perhaps God would show mercy to Jordan. Prophecies in the Bible tell of the destructions of all the Princes of Edom in the latter days of Gentile world rule. Edom is an ancient name for Jordan. God is not pleased with Jordan pushing its Palestinians off on Lebanon and Israel when the Palestinians were given a homeland in Jordan in 1948 where they belong. But when the Palestinian radicals tried to overthrow King Hussein, Jordan pretended they were not their citizens, anymore, and caused the destruction of Lebanon and much of Israel by not dealing with the radicals in Jordan long ago. They should have all been hanged.
47. Queen of Palestine (also called Jordan)
(01.05.09)
48. Your majesty: why don't you invite these gentlemen of Hamas
Moshe   (01.05.09)
to come and settle peacefully in Jordan?
49. WHAT ABOUT OUR CHILDRENS RIGHTS???
YOSI ,   ISRAEL   (01.05.09)
50. She goes on CNN and the
Lior ,   Israel   (01.05.09)
lies flow like a wild river. Her supposed truths are void of TRUTH. This woman whom is adored by the world should be ashamed of herself. The rest of what I wish to say I will self delete.
51. queen speech
gianni ,   st tropez France   (01.05.09)
why she dont say nothing when King Hussein kills Palestinians, why she dont accept ,with all the land they have , to built with the Hamas money somes cities in her big area, i think she prefer Hamas buy arms and one day will attack them when Iran will give orders
52. The depths of hypocrisy
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (01.05.09)
Her father-in-law slaughtered thousands and thousands of so-called "palestinians" during the Black September uprising in 1970, when these thugs tried to seize power in Jordan. Her Hashemite husband is shaking in his boots at the thought of the Jihadists challenging his artificial rule of Jordan, and is only too happy to keep them focused on the Jews instead of on him. Hamas would slit her throat in a second, since she is a secular woman who displays herself to the world without a veil. Let her practice what she preaches and go home to open up all the "refugee" camps there, where they have kept these "fellow Arabs" imprisoned and unemployed for generations as political pawns. Keep speaking Truth to the world, fellow lovers of freedom - it only takes a little light to dispel much darkness.
53. PS to Ynet - why are you doing Jihadist propaganda here?
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (01.05.09)
Isn't there enough in the non-Israeli media to suit your taste?
54. the queen?
proud jew ,   israel   (01.05.09)
oh dear why doesnt she ask hamas to back the f@#$ off im sure if she asks nicely they will.
55. I agree with the Queen and blame Hamas
Jo   (01.05.09)
It is sad indeed but it is always the innocent that pay the cost, children most of all, in Gaza and in Israel, should not have to grow up like this. I weep for the children. All should want Joy and peace and a good future for our children.
56. The rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom are very vulnerable.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.05.09)
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan might be the next victim of Hamas. 60 percent of its population are Palestinians, and the significant majority in Parliament are already Islamists. The rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom are very vulnerable. If Hamas gets the West Bank, Jordan can easily be swallowed by the blood- thirsty predator. The result of this will be the creation of a huge Palestinian formation on both banks of the Jordan river which will get in contact with Sunni Arabs in the east of Iraq and the cradle of Wahhabism – Saudi Arabia.

57. Do NOT !!!!
Blood donor ,   US   (01.05.09)
No need to worry about her: her blood donation is a public relations sham. Just a band-aid on her arm. It's just like Mohammed al-Durra "killing": Palestinian Disneyland to elicit sympathy. When they deal with unarmed civilians, they are all heroes. When their intended victims fight back, they start crying. Had IDF been defeated and israeli children slaughtered, the Queenie would have worn a big smile on her face and even put a deodorant. Frigging animals...
58. stop frowning, dearie. You'll get wrinkles!
israeli ,   israel   (01.05.09)
59. Jordan's Queen Rania
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (01.05.09)
Your Majesty Queen Rania, it is indeed a sad situation we find ourselves in today, this situation has been imposed upon Israel by the governing junta of Gaza, Hamas. The same Hamas that deliberately targeted bus loads of innocent men women and children, also babies both born and unborn, there was no such outcry from the Arab sector nor was there any effort on behalf of the "international community" to stop the carnage, on the contrary there were celebrations with the distribution of sweets in the streets of many Arab countries.
60. Bruce Boo-Hoo Strikes Again.
Josh ,   Atlanta   (01.05.09)
Common American Citizen who is also White (BFD!) and of Average Attractiveness (me) Condemns Gaza's Children for so often Screaming Minless Hate Filled Bigotry at Hamas Rallies: The hardly innocent lil' b!@#$%^& should learn to duck and cover. When their lives are in complete shambles and they find themselves begging for gruel at a refugee camp, maybe they'll grow up and decide to NOT shoot rockets at others even if they're convinced that all Jews are the offspring of apes and pigs. Time to learn to deal with it because despite all Israelis' less than desirable characteristics in the perspective of the Arabs, they sure know how to call down the thunder when they need to.
