7. #2 - The "palestinians" ARE their own industry
William ,   Israel   (01.03.10)
It's a giant branding campaign designed to solicit money from all over the world, whether you feel you're helping poor people or paying proxy terrorists to kill Jews....the "palestinians" are branded to certain groups to fulfill the donors' wishes. The product is "The palestinian people".
8. US$ 540 million for 360 Square kilometers? Or $ 1.5M / sq.km
Marcelo ,   World   (01.04.10)
WOW, this is a lot of money!!! There is one and a half MILLION dollars to be spent in every 1 square kilometer, or I would cover all Gaza strip with 1 dollar and fifty cents every walking step. Such reality doesn't occur because these Hamas and their voters prefer to burn money with missiles agaisnt civilians and keep on crying that they are poor. The world is so naive with these media created palestinians....
9. $539,999,999.98 for terrorism, 2 cents for brain surgery.
