1. I wish the USA would wake up....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.19.06)
and realize that Saudi Arabia is the biggest funder of terror in the world. Bush is so blinded by big oil, that he either does not see this, or refuses to acknowledge it. The true face of Islamic terror will always show itself, however, and the world will soon wake up.
2. Complicated Situation
Navi ,   Canada   (04.19.06)
I agree that no country should provide Hamas with aid of any kind, and applaud Israel, the US and the EU's efforts to isolate the terrorist government, but it seems that this attempt to isolate Hamas is yielding unwanted results. Whereas before, Arab countries just paid lipservice to the Palestinians and quietly supported the terrorist groups, they are now openly supporting the terrorist Hamas government. I've always felt that the Palestinians' financial burden should rest on the shoulders of their Arab brethren, but now that it's happening, I'm beginning to think that it will be dangerous to have the Arab countries taking a genuine interest in the Palestinian cause now that they are financially invested in it....just some thoughts...
3. Mr. Bush you said: those who aid and harbor terrorists
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.19.06)
are terrorists you talked about the Axis Evil - your are with us - or against us what more do you need to turn the Saudis over to the final Axis of Evil you only take 25% of Middle East petrol - what is more important The fight of terrorism or Saudis All Saudis are exposting is oil and terrorism Saudis need for their economy selling petrol is higher than our need since otherwise their already shaky kingdom economy - will collaps - and so let them collaps
4. Very good idea-Why must EU &US fund these Criminals generaly
Alan ,   SA   (04.19.06)
,, Saudi and Iran have got Billions from the Oil Price Bonanza. Let EU&US keep the money they normaly give to the Pals to fund their very own EU &US Moslems so that they dont get humiliated by no employment,poor education and bad vibes from the rest of the population who see them negatively.
5. $50 per person - 1 time
Andrew ,   Miami, FL   (04.19.06)
thats what the numbers break down too... the palis are the biggest waste of money for the world
6. why do u consider palestinians like undermen ?
rafiq ,   France   (04.19.06)
why some jewish people are so hysterical ? why are u so hateful towards muslims and arabs ? didn't they harbor u for centuries in their countries in safety and gave u all your rights as human being ? when europe and america were rejecting u and burning u, u were safely living in most arab an dmuslim countries, see today how u are thanking those who protected u...u unfortunately forget so quickly the good that was given to u by muslims. then u wonder why muslims tend to hate u, not because of your religion but because of your harmful actions towards them. u kill them on a daily basis, now u are starving them, u are cutting off all aids and pressure all your ally to do so as well, and after all those shameful deeds, u think u are going to draw sympathy from arabs or muslims ? there is an arabic saying which says: "as u do, u receive" do good, get goodness, harm and u will be harmed...so now it's up to u, never forget that palestinians are u want ir or not, human being and deserve by that statut, dignity and honor, as long as they do not have these, u will never handle peace in the region....think with your heart and no with your hatred. thx
7. What would REALLY be impressive
Michael ,   Austin, TX   (04.19.06)
would be if an arab country permitted palostonians to become citizens of their country. Jordan is the ONLY arab country that's EVER permitted pals to become citizens. All this "support" by the rich arab countries seems pretty disingenuous when all they offer is money...but not a life. Perhaps the arabs don't really give a damn about pals....
8. rafiq, France: Simple - Those who commit Terrorism are as
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.19.06)
You call - undermen: You say ......didn't they harbor u for centuries in their countries in safety and gave u all your rights as human being ............. Where were YOU when history showed how the Arabs treated Jews in Arab countries - There can be NO Jews in Arab countries - Jews had to flee from Arab countries - throughout history It all started with the Exodus from Egypt what do you expect that after far more than centuries - but lets see the last 77 years of Arab murdering Jews - we should embrace them: Not every Muslim is a terrorist - but last every Terrorist has been Muslim Now past experience which shows there is NO end to Arabs killing Jews They try it daily - just last again in Tel Aviv - during Pesach - do you ever look at TV ? (by the way Muslims have murdered Jews in France - not long ago) Now lets go back Example. 1929 Hevron Massacre of Jews by Arabs http://goldwater.mideastreality.com/2004/jun/09_07.html Here's an english video on this massacre: http://www.hebron.org.il/tarpat.ram Now here is an Arab view of those who have opened their eyes: http://tinyurl.com/dl2dm and : Walid Shoebat website - From Hate to Love http://www.shoebat.com/ Wafa Sultan: (a MEMRI clip)... by listening to this - it is in Arabic and subtitled in English. Wafa Sultan, which was interviewed in chain Al-Jazeera in Qatar: She warns the islamist radicals and their idea: Don't miss this and pass along ! http://switch5.castup.net/frames/20041020_MemriTV_Popup/video_480x360.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=null Dr. Ali ......... http://www.faithfreedom.org Nonie Darwish tells it like it is www.noniedarwish.com http://www.charityadvantage.com/sss/NONIEDARWISH.asp Brigitte Gabriel Interview http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/db_video.html Fast Connections: http://tudorproductions.com/media/Duke_Brigitte_interview.wmv http://americancongressfortruth.com/media/Duke_Brigitte_interview.wmv Slow connections: http://tudorproductions.com/media/Duke_Brigitte_interview_s.wmv http://americancongressfortruth.com/media/Duke_Brigitte_interview_s.wmv
9. Yeah, definatly... number #6
Jerba pogrom ,   surviver   (04.19.06)
10. pathetic.
(04.20.06)
Hatred and racism in talk backs here are pathetic!
11. Wise Conservative Arabs
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (04.20.06)
follow Mr Putins progressive example.
12. #9 are honestly from Djerba? #6 are you kidding me??
Jonathan Levi ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.20.06)
First off, #9 if your really from Djerba thats really cool. My family on my fathers side came from djerba also. rafiq go look up the word dhimmi before you start spewing how great the muslims were to us. Rafiq you remind of the kinds of abusive men who hit their wives and children and then give their wives and children the speech about how good they are to them. Save your master/slave mentality for your decaying culture. My ancestors were in Tunisia far before islam or the muslims existed so save your garbage for someone else.
13. 11Hitchings: You commie - move to Russia and or Saudi Arabia
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.20.06)
it is obvious you are in the wrong place in the UK - fools do better with Russians - they just arrest you - and with Saudis - they just smite your head if you get out of hand Go to Al-Jazeera - and the Hamas site They'll love freaks like you Little Jew Hater
14. 1o nameless Name again - talk is about Saudi
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.20.06)
support about terrorism - if that disturbs you - go to the Hamas website or Al-Jazeera - or find Goldy Locks eating her cream in some Swedish story book
15. #10 your right there is something here that is pathetic
Jonathan Levi ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.20.06)
I want everyone to read this and truly think about what I'm saying. What #10 is truly speaking out against is the fact the Jews are showing a strong mettle and are willing to talk back both in words and in action. I don't wonder, I know very well that if the other side were racist #10 would not cry out against it because #10 is a walking talking double standard who wants Jews to disarm so he can make them vulnerable. I loath these kinds of people because they espouse morality only when it serves their agenda much like hitler did. Your not G-d #10 and your far from an insightful or enlightened individual so go preach in Al-Jazeera or to Hamas like Gabrielle Goldwater suggested.
16. muslims
NTI ,   Red Chili   (04.20.06)
Let these muslim brothers fall over each other to help HAMAS. We kafirs had better mind our own business and stand aside, and let our money help only humans, e.g. victims of Tsunami and other natural disasters, who are non-muslims (Thais, Sri Lankans, etc). We will see for how long and how far will these so-called brothers help each other. One curious observation: those who provided funds to muslims are normally sneered at and attacked by muslims, e.g. USA, UK, Australia, the list goes on.
17. #1 DR
Motaz   (04.20.06)
"Bush is so blinded by big oil, that he either does not see this, or refuses to acknowledge it." Actually it's neither. USA can't live without Arab oil. It's that simple.
18. Rafiq...very funny...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.20.06)
Those Arab nations did not give Jews the same rights as everyone else...they killed thousands of Jews and now the call the destruction of the only state for Jews. Your nonsense fools no one. Muslims kill each other, riot and burn buildings, teach their children to killa dn clow themselves up, etc...etc. But you still expect the world to respect you. Get real. Israel will do whatever it needs to in order to survive and defend itself from suicide bombings, qassams and other attempts to hurt it's people. If Arabs and Muslims don't understand this, then they will die trying to destroy Israel. Stop defending terror and making excuses for your primitive culture...join the rest of the modern word if you dare.
19. Saudis paying HAMAS $90M for the TA bombing
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (04.20.06)
King Abdullah, you show us yet again that you fund terrorism around the world....
20. Saudis are men of their words
ابو العبد ,   Tulkarem   (04.20.06)
forget isralis and pal for a sec. how many countries on this earth will say NO to the great US of A? we (pal) take our Hats off and to you saudis.
21. Saudi Arabia
Micha ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.20.06)
Of course Saudi Arabia will help finance the Palestinians Arabs. They will help moslems anywhere because their objective is for Islam to take over the whole world. They want to replace all other religions with Islam.
22. Gabby why dont you move to Methil
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (04.20.06)
Living in the pretty town of Geneva has Corrupted your views.
23. Publicity
John ,   NZ   (04.20.06)
This is only the begining and to gain some publicity. How often and how much can they do it is another question altogether. Coz. those Palis are spineless, can't stand on their own feet and needs to be spoon fed.
24. 20 ابو العبد Tulkarem: Keep on pretending and play the
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.20.06)
village fool your days with your terror attitude are counted. why don't you stop terrorism - go out and try peace - get some real work you cannot live on others pockets constantly doing nothing but terrorism
25. 22 Hitchings: Commies and their views isn't what Freedom
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.20.06)
is all about. It is your views that are totally corrupted You are Jew Hater - a misfit of society - and by that a low Life - who Loves Arabs and Russia -move there By the way my name is Ms. Goldwater
26. Hitchings: Why when you hate Jews do you come to a Jewish
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.20.06)
website - only to spew or crap and BS go and post on Al-Jazeera and the Hamas sites - They love your kind Here you are just a Sorry Fool Storm Trooper
27. SaUDI aRABIA
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (04.20.06)
Why doesn't the US attack Saudi Arabia in order to "fight terrorism"? KSA is oil rich.
28. There is nothing sacred about mecca and medina
Arie   (04.20.06)
that a nuclear device can't cure!
29. Motaz...are you sure about that?
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.20.06)
The US has a vast amount of oil in Alaska, plus we have more allies than you think. Oil is not the main issue any more. Radical Islam is ruining the world and Bush along with many other world leaders are trying to fight it. Saudi Arabia, the largest funder of terror ever, plays both sides, but peole are catching on these days and these games will stop soon.
