2. Palestine could become 2nd. Somalia
bob ,   Israel   (04.12.06)
Omar Abdel Razik knows well that the palestinian land, if planted, can produce enough food for all palestinians and even more. He also knows well the big difference there is between somalies and palestinians. The first ones live in a tremendously arid land and the palestinian land can be very productive if they spend time and effort on it. He should have learned this from his neighgour jews who dried swamps, planted trees and seeds and re-converted the jewish land into a land of milk and honey as it is said in the Bible this land was thousands of years ago. Of course they need to work hard for that !! He knows too, that most palestinians have in their houses "last model" weapons and ammo (something somalies do not even dream in having) and that costs much money. The same money they could have used to buy grain and cattle in order to feed themselves. As PHD from an American university he is also acquainted that money does not fall from heaven. You have to work hard in order to get it.

4. The only reason for Arabs .....
Ron ,   LA   (04.12.06)
...misery is because nobody let them the benefit and a blessing of crashing defeat, so they can eventually open their eyes to reality and start living responsibly as free people. Currently they are slaves of their victimhood and 1001 tales about their glorious past. Wise up and smell humus!
5. He doesn't think the world wants an end to Hamas ?!
michael ,   tel aviv   (04.12.06)
"The Palestinian minister added residents of neighboring countries would not be pleased by the situation and noted he does not think the world is interested in seeing a Hamas government collapse." He must be smoking some pretty good stuff to have dreams like that :-)

palestine   (04.12.06)
We will pay attention to ur advices ONLy incase there is land for us, after all u have stolen to build ur illegal settlements.
7. Wait wait

I ran out of tissues!

free palestine   (04.12.06)
because dear a collaps of hamas gov means turning 140,000 employees to suicide bombers, which neither u, nor ur american and eurpian friends will like to see. got it now?
9. #6 you destroyed the hothouses purchased for you !
michael ,   tel aviv   (04.12.06)
10. To #6 + #8
Josh ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.06)
#6 - Stop crying! You have plenty of land to do whatever you want with. You can cultivate it, use it for livestock, build on it... but the only thing you people know how to do is shoot rockets from your land! And look at that, this damn lie even caused me now to say it's your land when it's actually DISPUTED TERRITORY, so I don't want to hear it from you. #8 - Perfect! Could you please go tell the Israeli public and the rest of the world what you just said about the government employees? Maybe coming from a Palestinian, they'll finally believe that all of you are involved in terror. I'm guessing you won't tell them, but just know that if your society turns into 100% suicide bombers, Israel has enough ammo to go around. I'm not sure about the virgins though.
11. #8 all the free world wants and will soon see Hamas' end
(04.12.06)
The whole free world wants the end of Hamas and will hopefully see it within a couple of months. Hamas will only bring you and especially your women more suffering. More or less suicide bombers will make no difference. You try every day to send them but now have a bigger problem succeeding and you are mostly just trying with knives now. Everyone is fed up with your whining! Get your lives together and stop being pre- occupied with death and think about life. We don't hate you but do feel very sorry that you have a negative rather than a positive attitude. Take responsibility for yourselves and end the beggar economy ! It's shameful ! Michael
12. The pals voted for a "somalia"
Arie   (04.12.06)
Now they can enjoy the fruits of their decision.
13. If the Pals got Dubai,they would convert it to Somalia..
Alan ,   SA   (04.12.06)
.. The trouble is, the World never lets them suffer from their mistakes. To impress the Oil States, the World hasalways bailed these Pal losers out of whatever hole they dig for themselves,until now that is ... So the problem perpetuates. They are always given hope that one day,whatever madness they do,they will inherit Israel and drive the Jews out. The Pals cant believe that the West US and EU dont want the Hamas Criminals after all,-the Pals say they voted them in" Democratically." It must be the first time anyone has ever said" NO spells NO" to the Pals.The Pals have been indulged too long .They dont want to build Palestine -They just want to destroy Israel. Let them stew in their own Juice!!!!
14. #8...maybe
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.12.06)
you should all become suicide bombers and end this whole conflict tomorrow. What a sick culture you have that the only option to talks is blowing yourself up. Sick people need to be treated as such. I pity your people and hope you will all be free indeed...from your brainwashed lives.

Jane   (04.12.06)
The collapse of Hamas is your only hope for a state. Got it now?
16. somalia would be a step up
mike ,   usa   (04.12.06)
17. I thought Hamas was the best solution for you Palestinians..
G. ,   Belgium   (04.12.06)
...since you all voted for Hamas. I have difficulties to see who is a goodhearthed Arab and who is not. "Bad" lies or "good" lies are lies anyway. If you voted for Hamas it means that Hamas should bring you a better future? Now you see, not even three months further and your world is going to collapse. Your leaders remain stubborn, they serve you with promises (= lies), they use each and every argument against Israel to defend their cause and eventually they turn to their belief since they are convinced that all their problems will be solved by Islam. However, money is not falling from the skies, you have to work for it in order to get it. The best solution for you: dissolve you government, call in the intelligentsia (their must be some brave Palestinian academics) and let them form a broad democratic political party. I am sure Israel will want to talk to these guys. But as long as you are not serious you can forget it all.
18. 2nd Somalia?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (04.12.06)
Could Palestine become 2nd Somalia? No, Zimbabwe is the 2nd Somalia. 3rd Somalia? No, Sudan is the 3rd Somalia. 4th Somalia? If France doesn't take that title.
19. twisted values
Israel Zwick ,   nyc   (04.12.06)
Hamas has twisted values. The PhD finance minister should understand that poverty is not an excuse for violence. On the contrary, the Palestinians should be rewarded when they show that they are interested and capable of peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation. They should not be rewarded for violence. The consequence for violence should be retaliation and isolsation from the international community.
20. I'm totally agree with you, G.
Sebastian ,   Argentina   (04.12.06)
People of Hamastan, What if you try to respect your own person following your own feelings? It's so sad seeing you following a bunch of murders with empty promises. It seems like you don't reach the same point of evolution of your leaders. If a democratic leader sometimes use people for his own interest, imagine how a terrorist party think to use you.
21. I can hardly wait. Maybe they will stop killing Jews
(04.12.06)
They'll be to busy shooting at themselves.
22. No $$ = No Terror
sk ,   USA   (04.12.06)
I like how we are now being threatened with more terror if the Pals don't get their welfare. Thing is, the truly impoverished do not have the resources for terror, nor do they have the hope that is necessary to motivate terror. Terror must be funded: not just to buy the materials, but to hire the know-how, bribe relevant people, and pay off the suicide murderers. Don't think I believe the Pals are in the toilet yet, though. No, I think that "Jews" like Omlette will relent, and without Jewish leadership, I doubt the US or Europe will continue.
23. America & EU
Dima   (04.12.06)
should continue supporting financially PA gov. only Palestinina inocent civilians will be hurt by this unfair treatment by EU & USA
24. #6
(04.12.06)
And you will live in Sumalia until you will. :)
25. #8
(04.12.06)
Those are 140,000 suicide bombers which %80 of them will be caught, and the rest will self destruct. Just suicide all of you because you have no jobs, thats what normal people do, right? they have no job, then they kill theirselves, it's obvious, isn't it?
26. #23
(04.12.06)
There is no majority of innocent people in Palestine. They chose hamas, didn't they?
27. Dima, they voted Hamas, they're not innocent civilians.
AK   (04.12.06)
28. Fascinating
Alex ,   USA   (04.13.06)
I am always fascinated by this site. There are the Palestinians who somehow think that they are entitled to handouts from everyone. "We elected a bunch of murderous thugs in a fair and democratic election. Don't you believe in elections?" Sure we do, but if we do not like whom you elect, you have to live with the consequences. It is called being an adult. There is no obligation on the part of the US to give any of you wastrels a single dime EVER. And then there are the Zionists. According to them, right in this thread, EVERY Pal voted for Hamas, including the children. So the US is under a moral duty to let the little brats starve for their stupid voting practices. Now I certainly do not believe that the US is under any moral duty to feed them; that is their parents' responsibility, not ours. But if the US believes that it is in its national interest to avoid CNN et al showing pictures of dead and dying children and blaming the US, then it is only our business how we spend our money, not the Israelis, who bomb us and kill us and spy on us.
29. The Headline is an Insult to Somalians
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (04.13.06)
30. The Real Fault
Ahmed ,   Tulkarm   (04.13.06)
I have to admit that it is our fault that we don't have our own state. After all, the United Nations created two sovereign states and only the Jews took advantage. We could be approaching sixty years as a country but what did we do? We attacked Israel instead of creating our own country and failed to fight off the Syrian, Egyptian, and Jordanian occupiers of land given us by the UN. Of course it is the Jews fault for all our problems and with this attitude we will never have a place of our own.
