1. kinda contradicting, but than again when
ghostq   (06.29.10)
it comes to palis it's no surprising. they can bite the hand that feed them and expect someone to give them jobs, they should use their heads.
2. what a joke!!
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.29.10)
Fire all pals, give the jobs to Israelis...
3. “Land for Peace” didn’t bring peace.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.29.10)
Every square inch of land, which was ceded by the Jewish State to the Palestinians, has been transformed into a platform of hate-education and terrorism. The hope of "Land-for-Peace" has been crashed by the reality of "Land-for-Terrorism." The root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict – as far as PLO and Hamas are concerned - is the existence, and not the size, of the Jewish State. The result of the “Land for Peace” policy : http://xrl.us/bfq9oi
4. we pay them to make products they wont buy
zionist forever   (06.29.10)
There are plenty of others capable and willing to work in the settlements who will also be willing to buy the products. Lets send a message to the palestinians they cant refuse to buy our stuff and we will pay them to make it. They need to understand they want to boycot settlement products they are welcome but they must understand it will cost them their jobs. MAKE THEM BUY OR DONT PAY THEM
5. WHAT BOYCOT ?
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (06.29.10)
Probally this will go against the wishes of Ynet and its crowd, who love to hate its fellow tax paying citizens in Judea and the Shoron, but the new Ramy Levi store at the Gush Etzion junction is packed with Arabs driving fancy cars, stocking up on groceries. Besides that half the people working there are Arabs, this is why they live here in the first place, we brought them jobs and a high standard of living. Not that it is ever mentioned, because that would be something postive, which doesn't sell advertising space.
6. This a natural and expected result
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.29.10)
While no one's looking, actually the Palestinians are building their future state
7. we should boycott their workers
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (06.29.10)
There are plenty of Jews unemployed why support our enemies? How many arabs worked for Jews for years and years, got decent salaries, gifts etc. and then turned around and stabbed their employers or cheated or robbed employers etc. They tithe their wages and the tithe goes to Hamas! Why should we hire them?
8. No.1 + No.2
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (06.29.10)
The Palestinians do the work because the Jews won't do it for the kind of salaries the factory owners are paying. The Palestinians are interested, as the foreign workers in Israel, legal and illegal in feeding their children. The daughter (living in Gush Katif) of a coworker of mine had to hire workers from the Philippines for her harvest. She could not find Jews, including those that were in support of settlements in Gaza. Figure that one out.
9. To #6
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.29.10)
you said it Salma, "future state", that means you agree ,in all history, that there wasn't any state called palestine. And you agree that Palestine and the palestinian people are the bluff of the century. Thank you salma for showing the people here the truth, from their own words.
10. #6 good
Dina   (06.29.10)
Not a bad thing I think If people are working, developing, growing and getting an education in short living a normal life. Then hopefuly they will see that there is room for everyone.
11. who need there work there are enought Jew to work

12. #6 - better to build a home than a bomb
William ,   Israel   (06.29.10)
Let's hope more "Palestinians" realize that before it's too late. Despite the polls showing a majority of "Pals" believe Arafat made a massive mistake and the intifada was a complete failure - none of them are pressuring their leaders to approach peace differently and even support the continued violence against Israelis. Even better to build the home in Ramallah because that city, and not the homes in the settlements, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv will ever be part of the future State.
13. #4 Make them buy?
jeff ,   IRELAND   (06.30.10)
You can't make people buy anything, unless it's some Communist hinterland where it's obligatory to produce a certain amount by law, and receive rations. I mean, seriously, are you going to send troops into every Palestinian home and inspect receipts from their weekly shopping? "Hey, you bought no settlement products this week, you lose job!" I'm sure the bhoys from the IDF will no doubt greatly appreciate being set this task. This is the funniest and maddest proposition from the ynutters yet. Well done. Keep poppping them disco biscuits or whatever clown juice it is you've been supping, it has made you highly entertaining as an individual. :)
14. While no one's looking, actually the Palestinians are buildi
A ,   Belgium   (06.30.10)
Everbody sees the state that is becoming "Palestine". Two areas, one under control of a corrupt, weak president , the other under control of a terrorist organization From CNN Mar 2, 2009: The United States has offered more than $900 million to help the Palestinian people, particularly those in Gaza, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Monday. How many schools, hospitals, universities, power companys, water purification companies were built since this article? Your future "palestinian state" is a gutter filled with hopeless, hateful people.
