2. Only the West are that naive.Arabs understand each other
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (08.13.12)
They have their own millionaire &billionaire kleptocracy.Fortunately for the PA the Moslem bloc controlls the UN purse strings
3. If the cowardly Saudis werent so scared
A ,   Belgium   (08.13.12)
of the "palestinians" applying their only export, terror, to their ghetto kingdom, they would kick their lazy "palestinian" asses out of their country and tell them to get a job. Wonder how many millions Abbas and his stooges are going to line their pockets with before they cry POVERTY again.
4. Good Luck!

I think the PA, foreseeing the probable breakdown of the European Union if Israel unleashes an attack to Iran, is looking urgently for alternative sources of income. This gesture must be much appreciated, because it could alleviate Israel and USA from the huge burden to sustain on their sole shoulders the very special Palestinian welfare state. I think Israel will be safe for a long time of a third Intifada.
5. The arab countries must be sick and tired ..
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.13.12)
...of these leeches..the US and EU should cut aid as well. The pals make no effort to help themselves,instead blaming Israel for all their self inflicted woes. The world is gradually noticing!
6. "Palestinian" bums; get out of Israel and get jobs!
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.13.12)
Once again, "Palestinians, the most pampered welfare bums in history, seek more handouts. Their fellow Moslems will give them flowery words but little or no money. They leave that to Western suckers. "Palestinian" bums; get out of Israel and get jobs!
7. abu mazen Kifuk?

So What Do You Need All This Money For? What Do You and your people do to help yourself? Could You Please Tell The World What All The Money For 2011 and Half of 2012 Went Too? Besides Means To Murder Civilians Of Your HOST Country You Leech Off Of!

11. The financier of the 1972 olympic murders
BH ,   Iowa   (08.14.12)
is now the world's biggest welfare queen.
12. #3 So-called palestinians in SA
ltrail ,   United States   (08.14.12)
The "palestinian" leaders not only line their pockets, they take a major portion of any money for their lavish lifestyle. While the kin of the hamas leader received excellent hospital care in an Israeli hospital, many "palestinians" are not permitted by the PA to seek help from Israel's healthcare system, apparently.
13. Looks Photoshopped
emanon ,   USA   (08.14.12)
Look carefully at the two main people. The heads don;t seem quite right, like the lighting is not quite the same as the other figures.
14. No Impartial Observers
marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (08.14.12)
There will be no impartial observers. Only Muslims are allowed to enter Mecca and Medina. No observers that would think all people have equal rights. Maybe commemorate the ethnic cleansing when the large Jewish population of Medina was expelled, enslaved or killed, shortly after Mohammed pbuh arrived.
15. To: BH at No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.14.12)
No, the world's biggest welfare queen -- emphasis on queen -- would have been Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity). Although Abbas looks positively fetching in a dress. He does need to spend more time in the gym, though.
