...more backwardness from the Arab world is to come. No chance this will impact the Arab Israeli conflict positively. Better hold onto your seats folks!

Great news Maybe the arabs will start will stat trying to do something useful instead of breeding terror and building artificial islands for the super rich. Maybe with econmic problems they wil stop thinking of themeles a superipr .. Hussain Obama might not eve bow down to the Saudi king next time.

That whole living in the modern era was good while it lasted. Too bad you're all swirling the drain. Good luck with that.

Not surprising. It seems getting a bad egg in the market of Baghdad is also attributed to Israel's existence. Arabs will always point to Israel as the source of their woes rather than react positively to challenging situations. Dubai is a fantastic example of constructive thinking that most conspiracy theorists and blind religious followers avoid. Unfortunately - as the situation worsens these pathetic miscreants will have more time and more hatred on their hands and need to vent it somehow - beat their wife, call for the destruction of their government, and death to Jews. Boy, won't they be really pissed when Israeli electric car technology massively decreases demand for petroleum further depleting Arab coffers.

more unemployment can only mean more people with nothing to lose and easy recruitment into terrorist organizations, bad for everybody.

(thats if anyone has seen the aljazeera english's report in Chicago, IL.)

is ynet a jewish site or an arab one? jews are laughing at the economic problems of the arab world, but it also means the west is suffering economically too didnt the madoff scandal teach you people anything? after reading ynet i now understand why jews have been kicked out of every country they lived in, you intentionally post such articles to laugh and deride the sufferings of the arabs, even your own torah tells you not to enjoy your enemies suffering, you people will never change

Who cares what you think. After these same arabs have financed their terrorists by the millions of dollars, we should care if they get flushed down the toilet?

While some terror funding comes from ordinary people contributing to "charities" I suspect that the low oil prices are doing more to strain terror budgets. Reduced employment opportunities in Arab nations would also increase the pressure on young people to migrate at a time when there are no jobs waiting for them when they get to Europe. And at a time when Arab women were entering the workforce and decreasing their total fertility rates, having them return home with nothing to do may return these nations to a state where their populations grow faster than they can educate them.
