Every tie established between Israel and the VAE is good news. They are far away from palestinian extremism, they just want to do business. Go on with that.

Dear Sir/Madam, please check your information, Abu Dhabi is by far the largest and richest of the Emirates, not the second largest as your article says. Regards

It's UAE (United Arab Emirates) and not VAE! I am a Palestinian extremist and I lived most of my life in Abu Dhabi. People there, just like in most parts of the world, are pro freedom and justice. For this reason they support extreme Palestinian elements, like myself, who are trying to free their land and bring justice to their people. Until then, enjoy selling some satellite images to UAE.

As long as they don't get any access to satellite codes or images of Israel then take their money. Just think if Israel didn't exist then they would't have access to the Eros service. Before he changed his mind Faisal of Mecca believed that zionism should be encouraged because the zionists could teach the arab pesant farmers agricultural techniques and help them make money from their fields. This is proof that Faisal was right that zionism could benefit the arabs. Israel is still a world leader in agriculture but today its also a leader in technology & communications all of which the arabs need if they don't want the world to abandon them once viable alternatives to oil are found. Israels economy is not based on fossil fuels & it might not build palaces to honour their kings and dictaitors but it does have the tools for the 21st century whilst the arabs are still in the 20th.

What a clown you are. Lived in UAE, now in Texas. Go to Gaza, enjoy the architecture and freedom loving with Hamas gang there.

I tried to go to Gaza but was stopped by the illegal occupiers of Gaza and the rest of Palestine. Whatever ills there are in Palestine, especially in Gaza, and I recognize a fair number of them, are due to your illegal occupation and blockade. You turned Gaza and its inhabitants to what they are today and you must reap what you sow. Suffer their wrath until we free them from this dark, illegal and ugly occupation of yours. And by the help of God and freedom-loving people around the world we will!

Why was Israel so successful in killing Hamas military leaders in Gaza? Because Fatah targeted all the Hamas Homes for them. 80% of Palestinians know that life for them would be much better under Israel than Hamas.

Based on a scientific research or your own observation? Is this why the Palestinians in WB and Gaza voted for Hamas? Israel and its supporters have no right to speak on behalf of the Palestinians. Give them freedom and justice and they will decide their own destiny.

If they knew what death & horror Hamas would bring to the Pal, the people whould not have voted them into power. we all want peace @ the end of the day we want- a good job, cool car and food on the table, but mostly a loving and healthy fam. you might find hate to fill your spare time - but on the whole, G-D/Alla wants peace for all of his creations.

So your saying 80% of Palestinians voted for Hamas? Knowing what they stand for, and that is no peace process, but the continuation of bombings, rocket attacks, all against Israeli civilians. So you support that do you? You seem to suggest that you support the targetting of Israeli children and civilians in general. That is who they voted for, and as such they reap what they sow, as will you.

Israel + stupid people like you VS IRAN = glory to Iran and you with your allies will drown in the sea.

does it pay well, being a "palestinian extremist" living in texas on somebody else's money? lately, there have many, many paid agitators throughout the west, funded by arab money to spread the "arab narrative". apparently, they expect most westerners to be be stupid and ignorant enough to believe them. but the "palestinians" lived under "israeli occupation" for over 20 years, until the plo took over. and during those 20 years, they enjoyed peace and prosperity like never before or since. israel's biggest mistake was letting the plo into the occupied territories, a mistake that most palestinians regret as well. you are very proud of the fact that most palestinians say that they support hamas, but what are they supposed to say with a gun pointed at their heads? they also hand out candies to celebrate the martyrdom of their dead children. so i would suggest that it's the brutal "plo occupation" that is oppressing the poor palestinians, and once the palestinians stop attacking israel, israel will stop shooting back. but that would put you, and other such "extremists", out of work. and end your all-expenses-paid lifestyle. too bad.

Modern Muslims are not able to deliver glory in any country. Even such lucky scumbags as you, living in great Satan country.

Muslim Arabi, What are you doing in that infidel, decadant and materialistic western country, go back to Arabia ... and live under the prospering Sharia law of beheading, mutilating and chopping.

Yeah, like that would ever be the case. Persians hate you fanatical idiots. Whether they totally accept Islam today or not, most hold a strong resentment against Arabs for their forced conversion and occupation of a once glorious country. Your hatred and brutality are the only export Arabs gave to the world through a thing called "Islam". The math and astronomy that you claim as your own are actually Zoroastrian from Persia. But this was never the first time, nor the last, that your usurped something from someone else.

My guess is Arabs will blame their ills on the occupation long after it ended. Egypt blames Israel's existence on their own bad economy yet Israel controls nothing there. Same with Syrians, Lebanese, etc. You're actually hard to believe as more than a Palestinian stereotype - self-victimhood, ignorance, racism, full of mis-placed pride, and denial. Your claim that UAE supports you is obviously just in your head. On the many trips there, I've seen Pals, Egyptians, and Syrians treated like backwater scum, and all (100%) of UAE's I spoke to stated without a doubt they hated Pals and their violent ways...supporting them only because they are "cousins". Believe what you want. but the rest of the world knows your fantasy history, your claims of relation to Jesus, and the fairy tale of 5000 year history. A true "Arabian" tale.

This is not about me believing what I want to believe. This is about hardcore, brutal and deep-rooted facts that you've been trying, unsuccessfully, to bury for 60+yrs. Israel and its people have reached a two-way street and must choose one of the two bitter choices: 1. Admit, just like the brave Israeli hero Ilan Pappe did, that they carried out an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinians in 1948. Apologize and invite them back to share the land with and live happily ever after together (just like before Zionism) or 2) keep on beating around the bush (ie, 100% of UAE's do not like you. The rest of the world know about your fantasy history, etc..) and before you know it, you find yourselves tangoing with Nasrallah in Haifa and with Ismail Haniyeh in Tel Aviv. An outcome that would probably dismay many, including myself, but would chose it over the brutal and illegal occupation of yours. The ball is in your court and the clock is ticking, tic, tac..

"Israeli hero Ilan Pappe " he's not a hero, HAHA!! maybe you should stop being an idiot and admit your wrongs like the brave palestinian hero Walid Shoebat did? and if nasralla and his ugly ilk step (dirty, unwashed) foot in tel aviv, you can be assured that they'll be killed like the filthy terrorists they are. and it's "tick tock."

I thought you had to actually be present when fighting. Also, do Texans now call you the occupier? Lost in the USA. Why not go back to Gaza hero?
