Halevai that the "Jewish lobby" would be half as strong as you think. Your post shows you live in a fantasy.
32. sheer hypocrisy
shadi jj ,   Gaza strip   (08.27.11)
the US is supporting the people in syria and libya and waged a war against Qhaddafi and has always boasted of it's democracy and being pro human rights ... but when it comes to the solely people under occupation and seek freedom and state it rejects their bid ........ why on earht do you terat us here in palestine as pariah people needn't a state ??
33. #27 Yes, the US is the largest sponsor of terrorism.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (08.27.11)
The EU is just behind the US.

Look I'm not even going to argue with you about that, just go argue with the history that proves zionists came after us to this country and called it "Israel", and you know what, if we ever accepted the idea of an israel in the region, it should get rid of it's racist theme and start realizing we're no more in the 18th century !! it would be another state which accepts being in the midst of muslims, christians and REAL jews (samirians)
35. to #14
Abdalaziz ,   Rafah, Palestine   (08.27.11)
of course we are :) cuz we own this land ... you know what have we really lost ? our land ... and we're getting that back !!
36. will the US survive it, because the Palestinians already do

37. Amazing
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.27.11)
All the anti-semites sure have come out of the woodwork tonight. Between Israel, the US and EU only 99.5% of the GNP of the 'Palestinians', now for Israel less than 0.1%. Tell us how cutting off your nose despite your face is going to help. For ever dollar of US military equipment we get, we invest over 12 dollars into the US economy. Think about that before you make another stupid comment.
38. fake posting #2
daze ,   US   (08.27.11)
Has rashid (good to know he's a fake, makes him even funnier) become salma? I thought her command of english was better than that. At any rate this posting of hers(?) is funny, a definite improvement over her usual annoying smugness
39. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.27.11)
I'm sorry, but did you REALLY say "erasing Israel off of the map?" You've been trying for seven decades. Let's see where that has gotten you .... Israel has one of the strongest economies in the world, and you people have the ersatz "Palestinian" Authority. LOL. You people never learn anything, do you? But perhaps you can find some comfort in the fact that your geography textbooks have "erased" Israel from the map. That's about the best you can hope for -- a lot of uneducated ersatz "Palestinian" children. Gee. There's a surprise.
40. Oh my gracious!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.27.11)
Whatever will Abbas do? Well, for starters, he can sell the three homes in Europe, liquidate all those hefty offshore bank accounts and -- GASP! -- sell the $40 million Gulfstream. Yeah, right. Don't hold your breath.

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
As you wish, please depart immediately
42. #4 American Jew ? I doubt it !
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
Israel's billions are used for defense, spent on buying American products, in accordance with American Law,keeping more American’s employed; most of the money the Palestinian's received have been swiped by their leaders for the past 60 some odd years That's why Abbas is complaining that the Palestinian's are broke One more fact, Palestine isn't occupied, in fact, there never was a Palestine, or a Government thereof, with its own Rulers, Capital & currency minted in what you falsely refer to as Palestine As a matter of fact, neither Palestine or Jerusalem are mentioned in the Koran I have one basic question for you, since you claim to be Jewish, what was your Bar/Bas Mitzvah Parsha and Haftorah ? I won’t ask you if your remember your Bris Milah, since answering the first two questions would attest to your authenticity
43. #7 Linda, you're as ill informed as ever
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
The "Jewish Lobby" nominally represents Six Million Jews in America There are an (at latest estimation) 304,000,000 Non-Jews in the country What you're saying is that the Jews who make up 2% of the Population have more influence than the other 98% of non-Jews Even to you, this should sound silly or just plain delusional, almost like your having claimed there was a Palestinian Currency, which in fact was Printed & Minted in England, (since there never, ever, was an independent Palestinian Government), during the British Mandate era, which consisted of about 20 years, from the mid 1920’s thru the Mid 1940’s
44. american aid
colin   (08.27.11)
America threatens to cut aid to hamas -BULLSHIT--
45. #20 you mean to all the dictators out there?
Danny   (08.27.11)
Because the majority of UN members don't represent their people.
46. #26 Ha ha ha,
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.27.11)
to the hell of your stupidity.
47. Dream on boy
BDULLAMI   (08.27.11)
Keep your colourful dreams under wraps. One dy soon you will wish you had listened.
48. The PA "Government" Is A Terrorist Group!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksoville, USA   (08.27.11)
It is completely irrelevant if the PA loses its U.S. handouts due to a unilateral bid for statehood at the UN. Hamas, which makes up half of this dysfunctional "government," continues to rocket Israel's civilian centers on a daily basis. One way or the other, American money will not be given to terrorists.
49. BFA cant help us
Nour ,   One State   (08.27.11)
50. BFA cant help us?
Nour ,   One State   (08.27.11)
BFA, or Bit Fat (And broke) America cant help us anymore and Im supposed to shed a tear? Keep your money and help your own people first. Palestine is not for sale !!!
51. No 24 Haha silly person
Emma ,   London   (08.27.11)
The Gulf countries and Arab nations have more than enough troubles of their own. They also don't actually give a rat's arse about the so-called Palestinians, if they did they would have done far more over the years to help them in ways other than supplying them with weapons. They wouldn't actually give the so-called Palestinians the drip of the end of their nose.
52. No 1 Deluded idiot
Michelle ,   Manchester   (08.27.11)
Why do you think it is acceptable to talk about erasing Israel off the map. How's about we talk about erasing Palestine off the map, I like that much better.
53. Democracy for All - The Americans have lost the Plot
Alex   (08.27.11)
So much for the American campaign of winning Islamic hearts and minds. That apparently doesn't apply to Palestinians, they have to suffer the endless illegal Israeli occupation and settlements - American hypocrisy at its worst.
54. #1...SMALL is beautiful...and greedy childs
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.27.11)
mostly do not get what they want..LOL
55. #@you sure got THAT right!
A ,   Belgium   (08.26.11)
56. to nr. 45.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   life/mankindland etc   (08.27.11)
at first thanks of the reaction of yours. i meant/i mean every form of dictatorship should be abolished, everywhere and always. for a dictatorship (can) oppress(es), surpress(es), hostage(s) it"s own people/a part of the world-population, even the entire people of humanity/mankind. still the un is an inter-governmental/an international organization. however the european-union also is already in much way a supra-national organization on it"s own european territory.
57. to nr. 7.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   life-land.   (08.27.11)
less or more, i agree with your talkback, this time.
58. to nr. 53.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   life-land   (08.27.11)

Salma ,   Palestine   (08.27.11)
Palestine IS OURS: This land belongs to our people...Some are dead. Some are living. But most... are not yet born. Palestine is not for SALE! Repeat after me in your language; LONG LIVE PALESTINE. by the way , China announces support for Palestinian UN statehood bid ! better learn Chinese because Asia is the future!
60. #59 Salma, dream on
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
