33. #11 noted master of hyperbole decries other's hyperbole
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.18.10)
but then again exaggerators exaggerate when the facts don't suit them.
34. When they learn to love their own people more than they hate
aviva haviva ,   tel-aviv-jaffo   (05.18.10)

36. Good. The pa can eat horrid crap they raise and get sick
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.18.10)
from the pesticides. They can take ALL the "palestinian" workers back and let the Jews find jobs in Israel while the EU pays for the PA unemployed allowances. Sounds just fine to me.
37. #11, israel's self-appointed "paqid" - you said "dumbass"?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.18.10)
is your use of "dumbass" proper paqid-speak used whilst righteously indignant, or were those words spoken ex-officio? wondering.

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (05.18.10)
It might sound just fine Bunnie but the usual decades old PLO/Fatah trick of funnelling huge sums of taxpayers money into the elite (Palestinian ) leadership bank accounts will continue unabated and unaccounted for,time to say ,no we can,t(give/donate ) anymore Eur pean/American taxpayers dollars,sorry?
40. no 21
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (05.18.10)
It,s already been going on for over a year Ghostq ,in Hamastan ,the Haniyeh/Mashal,al Zahour /.Dahlan tunnel rental empire that is the premier employment agency for the whole territory ,the Islamic Mafia in control.

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (05.18.10)
Hey Palestinian Salma ,your ilk don,t produce anything for the world markets so what are you going on about stolen lands etc.,get to the point?
43. no 31
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (05.18.10)
How about boycotting Hamas and it,s tunnel rental empire that makes the Hamas leadership extremely wealthy at the expense of the illiterate peasant populace of Hamastan who are forced to dig and maintain these tunnels as there is no other form of employment in Hamastan and all the smuggled goods are sold back to the peasants at highly inflated Hamas black market prices,what a racket worthy of boycotting but the illiterate peasant populace do what they are told otherwise?

Carry on singing for your supper Palestinian in Singapore ,and stop whining already .
45. I cannot see what the problem is
Chris Linthwaite   (05.18.10)
In a democratic state people are free to purchase what and in whatever quantities they want. The settlers can sell their products in Israel proper, and normal decent Israelis can show their support by buying it. Or is that what the Settlers are scared of? The fact that proper decent Israelis don't actually support them in the numbers that they have declared.

So what,s a Palestinian doing settling in Australia ,now Barbara,wanna elab orate?
48. Stupid timing, but boycotts are not "terrorism"
Smith ,   VT, USA   (05.18.10)
This is incredibly stupid timing, being when proximity talks are trying to happen. However, boycotting goods is not "economic terrorism". Being able to boycott whatever the heck one wants is part of one's freedoms in a civilized country. I do view it as very wrong that the PA is imposing fines against its own people for violations of the boycott. However, how does the boycott itself differ from US state governments refusing to do business with Arizona because of its immigration policies? If Israel wants the world to respect how often it is actually under terrorist attacks, then it would do much better to not stretch the word's definition so much.
49. This, as previous boycotts, will blow in their faces
Anat ,   Israel   (05.18.10)
50. Settler thieves are complaining now?
Adam ,   Australia   (05.18.10)
This is very funny. The land thieve fanatic settlers are upset because the people they stole from don't want to buy goods from them? They call it "terror"? I wish the settlers would disappear from the face of the Earth, it would be for the good of all humanity.
51. We forget the news from one day to the next
Dr Yeruham Leavitt ,   Kiriat Arba, ISRAEL   (05.18.10)
We forget the news from one day to the next. A few days ago osama, I mean Obama, was warning us against "provocations"which might harm the peace talks. This isn't a provocation?? The enemy don't want peace of any form except for complete Mohammedan conquest. Anything short of that is against their religion. So they need excuses to prevent anything which might lead to a peace agreement. And as usual they use their own people as pawns in their game
52. PA Boycott
Take Sides ,   Maine, USA   (05.19.10)
US support of Israel should fund peace efforts, but it's not working, so maybe its time to give PA West Bank the $ for the next 60 years and see if they can get better results. If Israel leaves the peace talks again, I'm writing my congressmen to suggest it.
53. Tit for Tat, Reciprocity
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (05.22.10)
Look guys, the anticipated loss is 200m to Jewish owned firms. If we add the salaries not paid to Arab workers, the Palis are destroying their 2 state cause..living side by side in peace, love and harmony. Oh come on. This is just the tip of the Arab (destroy ) Israel iceberg. What next, Israeli Arabs boycotting Israeli goods? Why don't they refuse to accept Israel's benefits. Back in Gaza, hundreds seek and get health care from we Jews in Israel. (Hows about stopping that?), But, we in the Diaspora can defeat this economic warfare. Let look at the list, AND BUY Israel. 6m Jews into 200m..we can do it @ 30.00 each. Hows bout it?. Then we can simply fire any Muslm working for US.
