31. what a surprise
real vision ,   usa   (07.26.12)
only an idiot could see that the palestinians can not, do not, will accomplish anything other that creating more conflict for themselves and others. They have only one goal and that is to kill jews and destroy israel. When their goal changes maybe then they will have hope for something other than a world of nothing

Jewishness ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (07.26.12)
those wretched make believers and their arafat invented people have been trashing Israel for 20 + years...They owe Israel big time for just allowing them to pee all over the place, and Israel has to clean up their mess...
34. The world bank
Kurt ,   San Diego   (07.26.12)
The World Bank's assessment is contrary to the aims of Iran. Someone wrote that if Gaza becomes an independent state, Israel can simply identify the rocket attacks as acts of war, and unleash the Lion on them. Simple diplomacy.

the only reason all these that you mentioned in your post keep pouring money into these useless people is not because they all want to help them. the only reason is that these "charitable souls" hate israel more and by giving cash to this useless entity of terrorists that want to become a nation", the world intends to make it so that one day, they will finish what hitler didn't. this is the reason for money pouring into hamas and pa.
41. Not ready for a State????
tiki ,   belgium   (07.26.12)
So why do they participate as the member state of "Palestine" in the Olympic Games? Why are Kurdistan, Kashmir, Tibet, Tamil-state, Basque country & other wannabee States not represented as states waving their flags in front of a (no doubt) cheering public? Because these groups are terrorizing their neigbourhood, not the West!

rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.26.12)
impediment " to a strong economy - I think we should send Mr Fisher over to teach them some economics. Most "jobs" they have there are in "government services" which include terrorists sitting in Israeli jails, terrorists in training and people who's only job is finding Arabs who sell land to Jews so that they can face the death penalty. Oh and a few people paid to invest and hide the money stolen by their leaders. Those jobs are a huge impediment to a stable economy.
43. is it because abbas steals all the money???
jack bauer   (07.26.12)
just like arafat he and his sons grow rich on the money given to him by the EU, US and yes, even us. arafat had billions.... i wonder how much abbas(the bankroller of the munich massacre) has stolen and secreted away
44. Palestinian State
Steve ,   Birmingham US   (07.26.12)
It is hard to increase growth, and not rely on foreign aid when your neighbour keeps taking your land and blowing it up. As soon as it is rebuitl, it just gets bombed again.
45. Aid
Steve ,   Birmingham US   (07.26.12)
I can tell you where the aid goes. To rebuild everything Israel destroys. Hard to build a country when your neighbors goal is to take your land, and keep you from becoming a state.
