2. Cherish the day when the Palestinians sue Israel
Cynic #2   (08.15.11)
for robbing their land and property and the agony, pain and suffering they were subjected to by Israel. That will be the day when real justice is served and their rights restored to them.
3. #2 here's the difference, dumbass
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.15.11)
Jews in Austria were excellent citizens: law-abiding, patriotic, educated and hard-working. They regarded themselves as citizens of Austria primary and Jews secondary. They did nothing to deserve the treatment they received by the hands of the nazis. The Palestinians declared war on the Jews. They heeded the call of the Arab League to step aside in order to allow the Jews to be annihilated and then they could grab their share of the loot. The Palestinians are more like the Austrians who allowed the nazis to rob, plunder and murder the Jews and then loot their property, the only difference is that the Austrians succeeded and the Palestinians failed.
4. Israel at it's best.....
American ,   US   (08.15.11)
Israel wouldn't exist with the undeserved charity of the world. They get it any way they can, blackmail, extortion, begging, lawsuits. Israelis are the laziest in the world, cant't stand on their own feet, so extort money any way they know how. PATHETIC AND DISGUSTING!
5. SUE THE CROOKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.15.11)
6. Jews with us its always about the money!
(08.15.11)
never mind the loss of life when it comes to the loss of life style well then we want our money back!
7. sue all countries who did wrong
Dot ,   Ger   (08.15.11)
I would also suggest to sue all the Arab Countries as well where Jews had to flee w/o their belongings and for all the wars in the past 62 years.
8. Israel got very rich stealing property and land from the
Abdalla   (08.15.11)
Palestinians . They too must have their day in court too!
9. #2 No money, no compensation will suffice
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.15.11)
Whereas the Palestinians are in the position they are now, because of their genocidal intentions towards Jews, which failed during decades of war. They are entitled to nothing from Jews, especially in light of the genocidal Jew fervor they have generated throughout the world through continued Jihad and jealousy. The Jews did nothing but contribute to Austrian society, and must be compensated for Austrian sadistic behavior that will shame their generations forever.
10. #2 & #8
sk ,   USA   (08.15.11)
Just to clear up your ignorance, today's so called "Palestinians" are 100% Arab. The Biblical/historical Palestine was JEWISH ... get it? This is easily proved. After the Roman Empire exiled the Jews from the land Arabs (and other nomadic peoples) encroached on Jewish land Holy Land and became squatters. And, Jews have been buying land in British Palestine since the 1800s from Arabs at often INFLATED prices. If you don't have title to the land you don't own it! The Arab squatters were low lifes on JEWISH land. When they were on the land they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to improve the land ... the land laid waste in swamps and rocks, until the Jews came back to their historical land and with sweat and blood made it a paradise it is today. The lazy low life Arabs did not give a damn for the land ... they did not do a thing to improve the land ofo the Jews they were squatting on. Case dismissed!
11. Lawsuits
GoyForIsrael ,   USA   (08.15.11)
Jews who suffer at the hands of Arabs should bring the full force of the courts against Arab individuals, Arab organizations and other Islamic entities (even in other countries) that have provoked/instigated the acts that caused Jews bloodshed and/or property damage. Money talks!
12. #8 The Arab countries got very rich stealing property
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.15.11)
and land from the 850,000 Jews they expelled. The Palestinians? Meh. They did not have much land and property, most of it was owned by absentee landlords in Jordan and Syria. Learn some actual history before spewing you crap.
13. #8 abdallah - Read post #3 for your answer.
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.15.11)
14. #4 american
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.15.11)
Your post is pathetic and disgusting and shows a total ignorance of history and the present. Israel exists because of itself, with some but not a lot of help from other countries. In 1948 they were outgunned and outmanned when the war broke out. In every subsequent war as well. As far as lazy: if I would post all the inventions and products of Israel, many of which you use everyday, this would be too long a post, so I leave it to you to search the internet if you dare. Don't worry; it's easy. As easy as you posting a ridiculous diatribe that boggles the imagination. You calling yourself “American” is an insult to most of us.
15. #4
Oniel ,   London UK   (08.15.11)
Israel wouldn't exist without charity? Is that why all of the aid they receive makes up for all of 3% of their GDP? Kind of makes your comment look a little silly. You are so transparent, it's unbelievable! Perhaps an Arab website would be more apt for your propoganda. Nice try though
16. #8
Oniel ,   London UK   (08.15.11)
I think you maybe mistaken. The land you SOLD to the Israelis was desolate, yet you still got paid quite handsomely for it. So I think what you are trying to say is that "you Palestinians (whatever they are) got rich by selling your worthless land to the Jews" Quite a blind bunch you are, aren't you? Your people couldn't make money if grew on trees. The amount of aid you receive, and you are still broke. G-d gave oil to the Arabs and brains to the Jews. Just a shame you were born on the wrong side of the Middle East. No oil, and no brains - ouch!
17. And Austrian Jews who owned real estate in E. Germany robbed
AustrianJew ,   Ex. Vienna, Austria   (08.15.11)
And Austrian Jews who owned real estate in E. Germany were also robbed. MY mother received 30,000 USD and Germany sold the building for 1,000,000 USD.
18. Enough lawsuits already.
naro ,   jerusalm   (08.15.11)
19. Cynic#2 / 2
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.15.11)
All their suffering has been self inflicted. They have been offered a state several times and refused. They chose their path and now they have to live with it.
20. # 2 Cherish the day ...
Jules   (08.15.11)
... when the descendants of 830000 Jews driven out of the Arab countries in 1948 sue the Arabs for the properties destroyed and confiscated, as well for the ethnic cleansing and genocide.
21. Please, do not dismiss comments #2 and #8. If deal can be
leo ,   usa   (08.15.11)
arranged without bloodshed what is wrong with that? How expensive can it get, $10B?, $15B? Hey, #2 and #8, can you arrange for Arabs do discuss money deal? Just make sure you cover both sides of it - what's coming to both parties. You do not need to work out every detail, just make them agree to talk about it and we will take care of the rest. There are some backs in it for you too. Upon success of course.
22. Abdalla #8, Israel got rich because Jews are working
leo ,   usa   (08.15.11)
very hard to better their beloved country.
23. Abdalla #8 can't steal your own property
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.15.11)
The 'Palestinians' didn't own the land they squatted on. That has already been proved many times over in court. The lazy, stupid, racist Arabs have been living on charity for 63 years - whining about how they weren't allowed to finish their genocide. TFB sucker
24. to #6 -it's all about money for gentiles too
moron ,   galut   (08.15.11)
how much can you sue for in a wrongful death case for loss of life-answer zero-only for economic loss
25. Re Cynic #2
Marty ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.15.11)
Any compensation due to the Palestinians can be paid directly out of the compensation received from the member countries of the Arab League that expelled their Jewish citizens (and confiscated their assets) after the founding of Israel.
26. These People Embarass the Memory - Feed Steriotypes
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (08.15.11)
Please - Please Please - STOP !!!!! You embarass the whole Jewish people when you do dumb lawsuits like this - the war has been over for 60 years - let it go !!!!!
27. cynic @2 you knowledgeless fool
terror victim   (08.15.11)
for you to say what you just did, we stole no land they made me a cripple in my land Israel you dare to say the things you did, i hope you burn in hell!
28. @2 shame on you cynic whoever
gali ,   israel not palestine   (08.15.11)
you are the fact that you dissrespect an honest good article about the horrors us jews have had to endure and not just by nazis also by arabs that can't accept the fact that Israel belongs to the jews! you need to go back and check up on history , come to sdrot for just a weekend and i assure you that you'll feel different!
29. Sue the Arabs , and Italy
Eddie ,   London UK   (08.15.11)
Arabs also stole our land in their various conquests. Furthermore, Rome should be sued for genocide, destruction of Israel in 70 CE, and of the Temple, as well as expulsion of the Jews.
30. The Arabs stole Jewish property 5 times the size of Israel
Yaniv ,   Israel   (08.15.11)
All the property the Arab states confiscated from the 1 million Jews they expelled has been estimated at 300 billion dollars and would measure an area of 5 times greater than Israel. So when are we suing them?
