2. Taxpayers Money
Raymond Moore ,   Chicago Il   (12.16.11)
No 1 seriously, why should my tax money goes to fund a Zionist regime that steals land from the poor Palestinians. Can't wait for President Rand Paul
3. Absolutely NOT
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.16.11)
The US should end AND embargo all aid it can to the Palestinian Authority until after there is an agreement and an irreversible timetable for implementation for the state of Palestine. There must also be verification that the agreement implementation is not only underway, but irreversible. No state, no money. US aid should only be for assistance in establishing a state, not for any other purpose.
4. Good news, actually
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
Congress controls the purse strings. Congress does not like the ersatz "Palestinians." I don't see anyone stepping forward to cover the $3.5 billion in annual aid that the ersatz "Palestine" Authority receives from the United States. Let's see if an artificial "statehood" trumps the ability of the ersatz "Palestinian" so-called "leadership" to continue to lavishly line their already generously self-endowed pockets. I'm guessing "no." The ersatz "Palestinian" leadership cares very little for the ordinary ersatz "Palestinian." Their private Gulfstream jets, their multiple homes in Europe and their VERY well-funded offshore bank accounts are SO much more important. Looking for accountability and legitimacy? Don't waste your time looking at the ersatz "Palestinians." Accountability and legitimacy simply do not exist in their lexicon. Which is why the ersatz "Palestinians" will never have a state. When it comes down to choosing between personal advantage and the welfare of one's "people," we know all too well where the ersatz "Palestinian" so-called "leadership" falls. Sad and pathetic .... but there you have it.
5. #2 Raymond Moore
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.16.11)
When was there an Arab state or nation called "Palestine" in the Middle East? Come on. I'm sure you can answer this simple question.
6. #3 Mark BJ - Absolutely nuts
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.16.11)
Beggars can't be chosers There is a State of Palestine, by this time you should have learned to spell its name properly J-O-R-D-A-N
7. #2 Raymond Moore - Wait for Ron Paul
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.16.11)
you have a long wait, until the end of time, you have my express permission to hold your breath while waiting There never, ever was an Independent State that went under the name of Palestine, I defy you to prove it to be otherwise Romans ruled, Ottoman Turks & Brits did, never any Palestinian An expert, such as yourself, should have answers to the following at your fingertips Where was the Capital City of your fictional Palestine located? Who were its last three independent rulers Where, or where, can we see a few crummy coins they minted all by themselves? Final questions, why aren't Palestine, Jerusalem or Al Aqsa mentioned in the Quran since the Arabs say it all belongs to them? You're a bright boy, let's see just how fast you can come up with the answers
8. "J Street": Good news. Has anyone ever asked this...
Adam Smith   (12.16.11)
...anti-Israel/anti-peace what its leaders think of the work of Congress but for the Obama/Clinton anti-Israel White House...??
9. If the PLO's Palestinian Authority truly wanted to
JBI   (12.16.11)
be helpful, it would, without any delay, withdraw its "membership" from UNESCO so as to enable the rest of the world to benefit from the US's contribution to the organization. But, clearly, the "Palestinians" haven't given up on attempting to undermine the drive for peace with Israel through direct and without preconditions talks with Israel.
10. 6BJ - Look Up Demi Moore's Line
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.16.11)
There is a common Navy SEAL quote in the movie GI Jane.
11. Me thought USA is flat broke?
George Archers-No fo ,   toronto Canad   (12.16.11)
A successful theif is one who steals little by little. USA funds Palestine prisoners so that Israel becomes a bigger military base for USA empire building. For the fibbers, Never was an Israel country,unless you beLIEve fairtale stories.
12. #10 mark bj - wHy should I bother
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.16.11)
If you wanted me to see it, you should have been courteous to supply it Grow up, you should know better !!
13. #11 George Archers - you're very confused
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.16.11)
Israel is mentioned hundreds of times in any bible, you pick it If the USA had wanted to build Empires, she would have stayed in Iraq, crappy country that it is, and would have land group forces to take for its oil, same for Egypt, which has nothing of value, much like yourself
14. 12 Then Don't - Stay Ignorant of my response.
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.17.11)
15. #14 mark bj - That wasn't a response
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.17.11)
that was your evading a response Your reply was a hollow and void of substance as the rest of your posts With the effort you have already expendedl you could have supplied the viable link
16. #14 mark bj
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.17.11)
That wasn't a response, merely your usual lack of substance
17. mark bj - An invitation to dinner
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.17.11)
First of all, you must bring your own food, eating utensils, table cloth, beverages & condiments Then you have to set the table and cook the meal, clean up the mess afterwards That's equivalent to the non-information you refused to supply Enjoy the portion of crow you've just cooked for yourself
