1. More begging instead of working.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.15.18)
When will these Arabs get off their lazy asses, go to work, and make something of themselves? It appears that the only thing they can do is hold their hand out, either for begging for money or for holding a knife when they're about to stab someone.

Isn't it time to tell them the well has run dry?

The UN has sucked billions of dollars from world donor countries to get the PA on its feet. It hasn't happened. The more money supplied, the lazier the Arabs become. If the PA ever became a 'state' it could never become self-sufficient. The farce of 'two states' must come to an end. Israel must administer the west bank and use donor funds specifically for west bank purposes. Any Arabs who don't like living in Israel may ask the UNRWA for funds to leave the country. If they stay, they become citizens of Israel, pay taxes, send their kids to school, and become part of the 21st century.

It's time for UNRWA to go away and let the PA stand on its own two feet, if it can. If it can't the UNRWA has accomplished nothing over these last 60 years, except to prolong the misery of the Arabs.
2. Russia: move a aircraft carrier off the coast of Gaza,
Ken   (03.15.18)
Police Gaza and secure it’s borders with Israel and help rebuild Gaza. Have the Palestinians okay this and have as much support of the Arab world as possible. With Trump in the white House, the world would be with you.
3. I am sure that
Empress Trudy ,   Raleigh   (03.15.18)
All the liberals who weep for them can pay out of their own pockets.
4. One correct move after another
Cameron   (03.15.18)
The Trump years.

5. Guterrez is a boob.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (03.15.18)
The reason the Pals in Gaza aren't getting US aid is that they ARE radicalized into murdering terrorists kept afloat by their monthly financial 'thank you' from the PA. ( Coincidentially, the same US amount of dollars given to the Pals was the exact amount the PA pays to the relatives of these murdering scumbags)
For what it's worth, here's an idea, how about every nervous Nelly wanting to 'help' the Pals first offer the Pals some of their nations undeveloped land to resettle?
6. follow the money.....
tiki ,   belgium   (03.15.18)
Had they not bought weapons and build terror tunnels, had they not send millions to Swiss banks.....there would not have been a 'humanitarian crisis" in Gaza.

With their attitude & mindset they will need endless more donor conferences.

7. Tump: Take your money and shove it
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (03.15.18)
8. Palestinians will not sell out Jerusalem for US dollars
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (03.15.18)

10. Palestinians have billions of dollars
Tova   (03.15.18)
It is in the hands of Hamas, Hezbellah, Iran, etc.

Trump did the right thing. Palestinians have more money than they know what to do with.

12. Funding terrorists
Harry eisikovits ,   Jerusalem   (03.16.18)
Funding Palestinians = funding terror!

A people that is paying 400.000.000 USD EVERY YEAR to encourage terrorism should not be financially supported but rather wiped of the face of the earth!!

UN =
United Neonazis
