1. Great Danger
Zivron   (02.07.12)
Eygpts Islamic victory outwitting thhe moderate traditionalists the Iranian suicidal lubricant the Pakistan threat bode even more sinister for the Palestinians than Jews.
2. Not quite true
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (02.07.12)
The BIGGEST beneficiaries are the Hamas leadership and their cronies A few weeks ago - a disgruntled Hamas official let it be known that he had accidentally seen the Personal Bank Account Details of Haniyeh in ONE Bank and found that it held over $60m! The Pay must be good then? The BIGGEST beneficiaries of the Gaza Blockade ARE a few handpicked Hamas officials feeding mainly off the blood money from Ahmadinejad Ths is the ultimate GRAVY TRAIN..and the ULTIMATE INSULT to Gaza
3. Fine, let it be so
Steve from Raleigh   (02.07.12)
When or if there is ever a 'Palestinian' state they can be entirely dependent on the charity of others. If the EU could literally pay their way 100% so that not a single Arab ever works or goes to school or operates a store, that would suit them all fine. It's not as if anything else is in their trajectory. Let them be the world's charity case. In fact the EU should direct all foreign aid away from wherever it goes now to the Palestinians. $20 billion a year could easily keep them all at home fat dumb and churning out more babies forever. Don't even build industries, factories or schools. Don't bother with any civic institutions. There's no need.
4. The Europeans bribe Palestinians not to make Peace
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.08.12)
They may have thought that they were bribing the Palestinians to make Peace but as in not criticizing the Palestinian terror actions through the years the Europeans and the West in general have worked to enable the Palestinians to not make Peace. Will they ever wake up?
5. And how much did Israel loose ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.08.12)
Our young people have to serve years in the IDF , after this Milouim . We had to build separation walls , how much did it cost ? We need a strong army , how much ? How much did we loose since 1948 because of them ? And we don't cry for "humanitarian help" .
6. UNRWA/UN should organize NEW LIFE via NONVIOLENT TRANSFER.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (02.08.12)
