2. Nice work if you can get it : where do I apply

3. ARAB WELFARE FROM EU
deborah L ,   USA   (12.11.13)
welfare queens, all of them- why not, the EU gives money freely with no strings attached. What can you expect from liars, thieves and terrorists??? lol
4. OLD HABITS DIE HARD
David ,   Judea   (12.11.13)
All this European money , is just an continuation of old Jew hatred that has plagued Europe for close to 2000 years now. Any sane person would not throw away money like that unless it was for sole purpose of trying to hurt and destroy an enemy , which we are in the eyes of our Euro trash.
5. 2# You are mean; What is 7 years for EU
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.11.13)
EU budget has an Eleven billion Euro slash fund so they can afford to keep the pressure on Israel Palestinians sat around for 65 years preserving their victim status , created by Arab rulers at the time, who have held back on helping to absorb them.
6. USD 1.3 billion, eh?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.11.13)
While how many countries in the European Union are facing bankruptcy? I wonder what Lady Ashton has to say about this. Something tells me she will refrain from commenting. If she cannot fault Israel in some way, shape or form, she tends to remain silent on issues involving the ersatz "Palestinians."
7. EU money?NO!
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.11.13)
This is MY money and the rest of the EU citizens' money that's being thrown down the drain...and I detest it but do you think that makes any difference to those wastrels? The EU has form.It also pays farmers not to farm...using our money.It's an economic mad house. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
8. EU its now time to stop backing the wrong horse..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (12.11.13)
rather send money to help South Africans who are not war mongers, like many middle east militants which you are helping..
9. #8 Ivan
DavidR ,   USA   (12.11.13)
Your request reveals the true nature of your heart. You also want something for nothing, just as the Gazans. Such a request shows your extreme lack of ethics and morals. The money should remain in the pockets of the European citizens who worked for it instead of it being stolen by the government and given to others, whether it be gazans or south africans.
10. #1 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.11.13)
11. # 8
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.11.13)
South Africa switched horses like Zimbabwe did. If South Africa has a problem it's an African problem not a European one.
12. EUrocrats
Hammer   (12.11.13)
The brotherhood of highly paid UErocrats is spilling out of EUrabia and reached Gaza. EU is a super-power in creating parasites within and beyond.
13. Let me get this straight
Sara ,   Canada   (12.11.13)
The EU wants to boycott businesses in Judea and Samaria that provide income to working Palestinians, while throwing money at Palestinian civil servants who do nothing?
14. Only now....
Jenny ,   NY USA   (12.11.13)
Only now does the assimon drops, and the world is beginning to see what is really happening....
15. #1, is mine. I wholeheartedly approve the comment.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.11.13)
16. herzog
marv\e   (12.11.13)
boy, the 6 mllion jews burned by the nazis spit at herzog and h is concessions to abbas. Like its all straightforward, peace will reign and the world will provide legitmacy for israeli counterattacks. Herzog was not much of a soldier if at all, like livni knows zero about defenisble borders, repeats the false demograhics and like olmert on erdogan is a lousy judge of character. Not only the 6 million but I personally call herzog a bloody chamberlain, a weak kneed jew marching right into the oven. And he is chosen? Bull!
17. Finish the sentence.
Jake   (12.11.13)
EU pays Palestinians in Gaza to not work, then blames Israel for the poverty.
18. #13 - Yeah, it's called European Socialism
William ,   Israel   (12.12.13)
and some of Obama's supporters were calling for the same thing in the US, like the Occupy Movement.
19. EU ? USA ?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.12.13)
AS many as 61,000 workers paid in full for six years NOT to work !!! Abbas pays $50,000 to each released convicted murderer plus a top salary? Who is bankrolling these people? The EU? the USA? Why should the PA come to a realistic treaty if they get paid to stay home and rewarded for murder?
