1. Sure, Bibi,
Falafelis ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.16.11)
believe those guys who are calling for our destruction. Great idea!
2. Wont sponsor terrorists???/
Hay3 ,   ISrael   (05.16.11)
The PA are terrorists!!!! Their leader, Abass, was one of the masterminds of the Munich massacre! How quick people forget!!! Fatah are no different to Hamass Both want Israels destruction!
3. How weak can you be?
BJL ,   usa   (05.16.11)
The PA "says" no money will go for terror and that settles it? This government is dangerously weak and pathetic.
4. What is Netanyahu trying to do?
Jacob Edelman ,   Burke,USA   (05.16.11)
Netanyahu has not changed. He is not a statesman, just a casual politician who thinks he is scoring points against opponents, rather than guiding Israel towards national goals and objectives. He has lost his way and in the process is leading Israel astray.... Who still believes him when he speaks of peace? He is just rolling along from one compromising position for Israel to another.
5. Israel to release PA tax funds - ;) ,...
split ,   US   (05.16.11)
No one can match your politicians of making a jerks of themselves and a laughing stock for others :) ,...
6. Stupidity
Guy ,   Israel   (05.16.11)
Further proof of the just how stupid the Israeli government is. Do they really believe that the PA isnt going to share this money with Hamas?
7. Poor Gilad
Rachel ,   US   (05.16.11)
No one in this government seems to care about him.
8. hahaha wtf is wrong w/these guys?
URI ,   il   (05.16.11)
9. Bibi-Steinitz
michael Pielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (05.16.11)
To deny the funds to the terrorists and then to restore the funds is a major diplomatic blunder. Better to have never denied the funds in the first place. I am beginning to believe that the Netanyahu government is simply a puppet of the United States!
10. Wait!
Devorah   (05.16.11)
It could be that this money is being released now because Bibi will be addressing the full Congress in D.C. in a few days, and Obama is working on another peace proposal to sideswipe whatever Bibi plans on saying. If so, this could play into Israel's hands by saying something like, "Look, the arabs have done this and that against us recently, including announcing they will not recognize Israel as a nation. "We were not going to release the funds, but we received assurances that the money would not go to terrorism. We are people of integrity who wish to harm no one in spite of the fact that it is imperative that we maintain our sovereignty." I'm thinking out loud here, but this is as good a possibility as anything else, at least until we know more.
11. Funny though
it didn't take long   (05.16.11)
12. HEY FM YUVAL,NO MONEY TO THE PA MONGRELS
GLENN ,   YUCAIPA,USA   (05.16.11)
13. oh thank you
NadMan ,   Palestine   (05.16.11)
thanks for giving the palestinians their money that is reall generous of you, lol . the money will go for workers on the PA authority, teachers and employees who got kids who need college tuition and they need food and home rent, the empoloyees did not take their money this month, it's 16 may and still no money from the last month. PEACE . . .
14. perfect time to demand release of Gilad!
Eric L ,   Chicago, USA   (05.16.11)
after all, Hamas is part of the PA now...consequences...
15. Will the PA now pay back the EU?
William ,   Israel   (05.16.11)
16. Bibi should join Kadima
Edgar ,   Israel   (05.16.11)
I'm finding it impossible to avoid the most obvious conclusion: Bibi is no brighter than Livni or Barak. Our country is run by idiots. I can't believe they did this.
17. The spinless Government
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (05.16.11)
It is mpossible to believe, that only today right after abbas publicly announced his admiring support to the violent pali mob, braking thru Israeli border control with weapons and intent to murder lots of Israelis, the Israeli government is going to grant them the release of the funds they held back for a reason....Abbas is and always was a wolf, hiding under a sheep skin...He is an old mastermind of many terror attacks on Jews and Israelis and it is high time for Bibi to get it...There isn't, never was and never will be a partner for negotiations in the WB...There is only an enemy for assisting a suicide of the Jewish State...The choice is ours to make....
18. NO! NO! NO
Kayla ,   Florida   (05.16.11)
19. It does not and should NEVER matter what the international
Kayla ,   Florida   (05.16.11)
community thinks or says. NEVER give in to terrorism and threats. NEVER!
20. spanked
hal ,   us   (05.16.11)
poor old nuttinyahoo got spanked by the americans. hand over tye money bibi or else all on the day israel wasted a bunch of unarmed civilians
21. Definition of Insanity
Robert ,   NY USA   (05.16.11)
The definition of insanity is repeating the same task over and over expecting a different outcome. The PA has been known to fund, enable, and incite terrorism in the past. Now that it has joined with Hamas, there can be no doubt its funds and resources will be used for terror. Ultimately, the future blood of innocent Israelis will be spilled as a direct cause of this foolish and irresponsible act. When will teh government of Israel put the lives of its citizens above the desire to please foreign powers? The longer it waits to do so, the more Israelis will lose their lives.
22. Aahhh, the PA are terrorists...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.16.11)
Abbas claims he orchestrated the 1972 Munich massacre of our olympic athletes, REMEMBER!!! Sometimes I wonder why we just don't quit. Our leadership is really hopeless sometimes.
23. Is this normal
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (05.16.11)
What normal country would give money to its enemies? How can Israel criticize the US for funding the new PA/Hamas entity if Israel is doing so herself. Netanyahu needs some lessons in learning how to say NO.
24. We all knew Bibi would fold yet again.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.16.11)
Any time Bibi talks tough, you know he will fold yet again. You know he will surrender to whoever is pressuring him. The only questions are: How long it will take Bibi to fold? What will his excuse be? Bibi is a disgrace to the Likud Party and the vast majority of Israeli voters who clearly chose a right wing patriotic government.
25. When the people are not happy with their
Israeli 2   (05.16.11)
government, their government is not good. We need an uncorruptable Torah abiding Kingdom with just Israelis in mind.
26. Got a call from obumma, started kneeling in his office.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.16.11)
27. All I can say is LOL
Dovid ,   New York   (05.16.11)
Is this an April Fool's joke? Come on, can anyone really be that stupid?
28. Bibi this is abig miss

29. Dumb Decision
John Cone ,   USA   (05.16.11)
Dumb and Weak decision to pay the PA funds.
30.  6. Stupidity ,...
split ,   US   (05.16.11)
A stupidity was an order to block the money that wasn't yours anyway or to be shared with a democratically elected government - Hamas is the people's choice like it or not and it's there to stay,... The should demand to return the interest too ,...
