1. Funny how the Arabs who hate Israel so much, adopted
its architecture   (01.22.11)
Noticed how the Arabs adopted the Israeli use of red roofing tiles in their houses, instead of the traditional Arab flat roof? Not just the Palestinians. In Jordan too, you'd think that they want their towns and cities to look like Israeli towns. On the one hand they try to kill us, on the other they immitate us...
2. i live there and its even worse
ahmad ,   east jerusalem   (01.22.11)
much worse than what has been written in the article , i have been living here for more than 30 years when it was one of the best residential places in east jerusalem , know it seems like kufor akab has changed from a clean village to be like a refugee camp with no one to role , even the garbage , the municipality gives tendere to a contractor who takes the money and collects the garbage only twice or three times a month , i wish i could leave to another area , but already invested so much in my house , also my family is around me
3. They hate Jews but,
tejas ,   India   (01.22.11)

i am so sorry for u. To live in Israel, you have to love the jewish people or alternativly you have to live with your betrhen the PA. Now you know the difference.

I really appreciate the honesty of Ahmad's post. It is such a refreshing change. As I was reading it, I thought: "Now there's a person one could do business with." It is the Salmas of this world who drive us apart. It is the Ahmads who bring us together. Ahmad, I am sorry about your plight. It is a very difficult situation you are in.
7. and this, my friends
(01.22.11)
is the way the future palestinian "democratic and independent state" will look like. does anyone in his right mind believe that a society that is clanish and tribal, will have any nationalistic way of governing? this is the true dysfunctional future palestinian state. no doubt about it and anyone who thinks diferently has no clue about the chaos that this new state will be in forever. anarchy is more like it. hameed aboughaze, iranian

How do you know that is what he wants? Does every Iranian want the same thing?

How people can help you? Is it possible to organize locals in your town and start patrolling the streets? Can you establish cooperation between authorities and the patrolling organization in order to provide quick and strong support? Please, provide us with your observation and the solutions that can improve the situation.
