negotiate an even swap; gilad shalit for Haniyeh’s return to gaza.
8. You people are monsters in the eyes of the world
Ann ,   Canberra, Australia   (12.14.06)
Listen to yourselves. What if he was a Jew trying to help starving Jews. Your souls are gone. You diminish yourselves.
9. #6 atmawi...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.14.06)
You probably thinkn this money will be used to help the poor people there, don't you? Gaza is still a terror haven, a breeding ground for hate and violence. Everyone knows this, so why should Israel allow millions of terror dollars come in? Open your eyes you fool!!!
10. Money used for weapons
money talks ,   USA   (12.14.06)
1. Haniyeh's money - unlike the billions of dollars from the EU, UN, etc that, despite the boycott, have still found loopholes to roll into the territories - is from countries like Iran that certainly would not have monitored it. Worse, they encourage the Palestinians to use this money for violence. Check out the recent situation in the territories: unpaid salaries, but, amazingly enough, their weapons have been advancing technologically (aka more expensive). 2. Those who claim that the humanitarian situation is caused solely by the boycott are simply ignorant of the facts on the ground. Post-boycott, the EU and UN set up a commission that would allow them to work around the PA to send aid money to the Palestinians. The UN alone had sent almost half a billion dollars as of Sept 2006. Palestinians receive 80 percent of the UNWRA budget. Palestinians receive 1123 dollars from the UN per capita annually, perhaps not much, but a significant amount more than the 5 dollars annually received per capita in Darfur.
11. # 6 Atmawi, yes
Sagi ,   Israel   (12.14.06)
under the very prutal occupation of HAMAS.
12. Amazing intel. Watching Haman-dinejab on cable news again?
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (12.14.06)
13. Ann of Canberra
herb glatter ,   pittsburgh,pa,usofa   (12.14.06)
why is it that they who know so little speak so much? EU contributions to Palestinians will surpass 2005, over $1 billion us dollars, USA gives $468 million, what do they do with the money? go to yahoo video from Gaza Ramallah Jenin et al they are armed to the teeth! BTW how are Muslims in Australia behaving? you should be grateful for John Howard.
14. 9 - the only thing palestinians starve for is killing jews
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (12.14.06)
let haniyeh enter gaza through one of their tunnels. it would be fitting.
15. #8 who is the monster?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.14.06)
All this money will be spent on bombs and bullets to murder more Israelis, not on bread and milk for starving children. BTW what about all the billions of "humanitarian aid" that Arafat stashed away and now supports Suha's lavish lifestyle in gay Paree.
16. let's trade
Arie ,   Afula   (12.14.06)
give us Gilad and the arabs can have haniyeh
17. Ann on Canberra
Man of Peace ,   Washington, DC, USA   (12.14.06)
You are so right. I would not even waste my time worrying about people who have no regard for human life and make the Palestinians existence a living hell.
18. #15, Kyle AKHBAR!
Imam Oron ,   Londonistan   (12.14.06)
Kyle, you made an excellent point. Why DOES the former First Lady of "palestine" live in gay Paree and not in "palestine"? She thinks she is too good to live in "palestine". It's easier for her to get to the money her "husban" yassir received from the US, EU and Israel and STOLE from the "palestinian" people. AND the caviar is better in Paree than in "palestine".
19. So, Haniyeh is caught with an illegal huge pile of money.
sk ,   USA   (12.14.06)
Is he arrested? Oh no. He just is parted from the money briefly, which will go through a couple "legal" channels before it rejoins Haniyeh. Israeli elites are incredible idiots. At least KEEP THE MONEY.
20. To Haniyeh:: Did Iran give u missiles along with money?
KMR ,   Middle East   (12.14.06)
21. Haniyeh, whom u wait for? Cross Rafah through that TUNNEL !
KMR ,   Middle East   (12.14.06)
22. This news is enough for him to gain votes from unpaid ones
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.14.06)
He does not need to pass the border with money, as IDF prevents him to bring in money, which would be PAID to unpaid workers now IDF is responsible from unpaid workers! So he showed good will to his unpaid workers and he will get votes from them in comming elections!
23. how ordinary Palestinians live under jewish occupation
david ,   usa   (12.14.06)
If the elected Palestinian prime minster can't travel without permission from Jewish occupation authorities, one can only imaging the hell that the rest of Palestinians are living in under Jewish occupation.
24. Dear david #23
Arie ,   Afula   (12.14.06)
We left gaza in the hopes of peace. The palis, to whom peace is a dirty word, chose to continue terrorism. They made their hell and now they can live in it.
25. #8 & #17
Greg ,   Chicago   (12.14.06)
The next penny the Palastinians spend on their starving underpriviledged masses will be the first. Haniyeh for Gilad
26. Haniyeh's return
Milo Perez ,   Tijeras/USa   (12.14.06)
Millions of USD equilivent for the Palestinians through the Egyptian border would not be dispersed equally and it would most likely go into the Hamas coffers. Israel's defence minister Peretz made an order not to allow this spineless shell of a man back into the Gaza and then changes his mind and admits him through the gates to Gaza. Be consistent, Peretz, waviering after you make a dictate is showing the Israeli people you not sure of what your doing.
27. #8...you are so ridiculous...i'm sad 4 u...
stephane ,   israel   (12.14.06)
" What if he was a Jew trying to help starving Jews. " you - are - so - stupid!!!!!!! it's unbelievable...do you know for example that arafat was one the 5 richest leader in the world?! while his people are starving! you know why? because when the UN gave him billion of dollars to pay salaries to his people,or to build buildings,hospitals,etc...he prefered keeping the money for himself and his ugly "wife" souha who live in a luxury home in paris!!! the arabs don't care of their people! and worst than that ann,a few years ago,eurabians gave(once again) money to arafat to feed his people!and what he did with the money? he paid to iran 50 millions of dollars to buy weapons to go on the terror against israel!! thanks to god,israeli commandos intercepted in the mediterranean sea the boat full of weapons...(the boat was called the KARIN A)you can check in the web to learn what kind of peopleyou're defending...you are ignorant,so i give you just ONE example of what the pals do with money...if you want to learn more read the israeli news.
28. Lost in translation
Talula ,   Israel   (12.14.06)
"They (Israelis) assume the Palestinian nation is alone. This is an illusion. ... We have a strategic depth in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This country (Iran) is our powerful, dynamic and stable depth," he said. Yeah, but it was Israel that stopped you bringing in the money - LOL!!
29. #23 how ordinary Canadians live under U.S. occupation
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.14.06)
If illiegal immigrants can't travel from Canada without permission from U.S. occupation authorities, one can only imaging the hell that the rest of Canadians are living in under U.S. occupation.
30. Oh yeah, Ann, you're SO right ...
sk ,   USA   (12.14.06)
Israel should do just what Australia has been doing ... not much, while the level of Muslim-perpetrated rape has gone through the roof there. And that's just for starters, you understand. Howard MAY be able to turn this around - but then he is far from your ideology. You see, Ann, when Jews collect money for starving Jews, the Jews get the food. When Arabs collect money for starving Arabs, no food is purchased. Do you understand, now? Or does your intense hatred for Jews blind you hopelessly?
