Who ever agreed to have their customs and taxes collected for them by a different country does not have what it takes to be soveriegn.

tom ,   tel aviv   (05.16.11)
35. WHY??
Cindy ,   TA Israel   (05.16.11)
why should they announce THAT, the very same day we were attacked BY THEM from 3 different fronts??.....couldn't Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz wait at least another week? Geeesh.....they attack me and I pay them.Unbelievable.
36. Tax funds. Why do we condemn funding

Welcome back OUR money.
38. shoot your own foot, bibi...
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.16.11)
don't shoot my foot, please. giving $ to the pals is the same. you must be pretty weak to worry about the nations of the world. why not take a lesson from them and not give a damn about anyone, just do what is right for us for a change!!
39. What drugs is Netanyahu taking,,,,,???
Rich ,   Raanana   (05.16.11)
40. Spineless.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.16.11)
Disgusting display of weakness. Next year, maybe we should just forget about celebrating Independence Day, we're obviously not very independant. Or, maybe we should just display all -white flags.
41. They received a nice reward after yesterday's violence.
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.16.11)
Bibi again gave up to BHO preassure.
42. Palestinian Tax Revenues and International Law
Alex Weiss   (05.16.11)
No surprises here! Israel as the occupying power is obligated to provide the basic infrastructure in the occupied territory as a minimal requirement of the fourth Geneva Convention, and the Palestinianians can't do that when the Israelis hold back their tax revenues. Steinitz can whine all he likes, but when Hamas is the democratically elected government in Gaza, and gets it fair share of the tax revenue, then I don't suppose the Hamas people care too much..
43. When members of both Houses in the U.S.
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.16.11)
want to cut off aid to the p.a. The cowards in this government want to fund terrorists. Use the money instead to strengthen Jewish towns in our liberated territories as well as the I.D.F. We need to clean out all the politicians that are sitting in the knesset and makes sure they, their predecessors are banned from politics at any level and in any position.
44. Why ?
Ira ,   USA   (05.16.11)
Why can't Israel get politicians who care, really care, about the welfare of Israel and not the PA ?
45. It's amazing
IRAN#1   (05.16.11)
What a little Sunday walk on the border can do :)
46. Beauty is only Skin Deep
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (05.16.11)
But stupid goes right to the bone. Talk about dumb polititurd tricks. Sour of like buying your worst mortal enemy a drink, a box of ammo, a box of matches, and a gallon or gas. Stupid is no way to go through life, particularly if you are alleged to be representing and protecting the sancity and safety of the nation. Dumb. Just plain dumb.
47. Sanity Returning
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (05.16.11)
Apparently, the alternative prospect of Iranian funding of the PA brought some sanity to the Israeli government. It did not look like Steinitz could recreate the Palestinian schism. And the PA did make it clear that it would forgo US funding. Take away US funding and PA tax revenues and either the Israeli taxpayer pays or somebody else steps into the breech. With the Gaza schism, that was somebody Iran.
48. Thanks to Obama and Clinton who want to
Vardina   (05.16.11)
terminate Israel inorder to have cheap access to oil = cheap gasoline = high rating in the coming elections.
49. Obama & Clinton sell Israel for cheap gasoline.
Vardina   (05.16.11)
50. #4 He has no choce but kiss the ass of
Vardina   (05.16.11)
Obama & Clinton.
51. 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,...
52. WHY?
Talula ,   Israel   (05.16.11)
53. #13: How much of the funds are going to
Vardina   (05.16.11)
the employees you have mentioned and how much is taken forthe purchase of weapons and financing terror activities?
54. #19: what looks so simple from Florida is
Vardina   (05.16.11)
much more complicated here with Obama and Clinton on our backs. Try to take those two off our backs, try to convince them not to trade us for cheap oil and you will see that we can do better.
55. #23: Dear Rbbi, It is the US who forces Israel
Vardina   (05.16.11)
to do this. May be you should have a word or two with your presiden....
56. There was NEVER a country called Palestine in the world.
Wise Saba ,   E retz Yisrael   (05.16.11)
If you think that there was a country called Palestine, please answer these questions: 1. Who was the president/prime minister of Palestine before 1948? 2. What was the currency of Palestine before 1948? 3. What was the capital of Palestine before 1948?
57. mark from Lewiston
David Haifa, Israel ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.16.11)

58. why are Israeli leaders so weak?
ELIANNA ,   Jerusalem   (05.16.11)
