1. Great news
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.20.19)
What else can the Islamofascists give up because they are throwing another temper-tantrum for responding to their war crimes in a very minimal manner?
2. AbuAss controls a $40 billion Fukestinian National Fund.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (02.20.19)
3. This is a HUGE opportunity for Israel
Steven Gilbert ,   Teaneck   (02.20.19)
Israel should take the funds and disperse them directly to Palestinians as they see fit. Take the corrupt PA/PLO/Fatah/Tanzim etc. out of the loop. Identify reliable locals to create a stable, peaceful society in Area A. Give them the means to protect themselves from the thugs that will attempt to thwart their efforts.
4. No other state has EVER voluntarily supported its foes!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.20.19)
No other state, in all of human history, has EVER adopted the insane policy of voluntarily supporting its foes. Israel's support for "Palestinians" would be equivalent to the WW II Allies supporting the Nazis!

It is time every rational Israeli DEMANDED the complete permanent end of ALL mad Israeli support for our mortal "Palestinian" foes. No more food, electricity, materials, work permits, protection or anything else for our "Palestinian" foes.
5. Abbas: quality leadership. NOT!
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.20.19)
The world needs no more proof than this to see how self-destructive Abbas is to the Arabs. The Arabs would be better off as regular citizens of Israel. It's about time they realized this. Anyone who prefers not live in the Jewish state can ask for a buyout and leave with no hard feelings. Period.
6. why
mike ,   Seattle   (02.20.19)
We are literally paying people to kill us. This makes no sense. Only a seriously self hating deranged people would do this. Why are we giving the people who kill us and then celebrate in the streets any money at all. The Palestinians have declared war on Israel and the Jews. They want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. They announce this every day. And we give them money. This is insanity.
This is the basic undeniable truth: If the Palestinians could destroy Israel and kill every Jew tomorrow they certainly would. Land and boundaries have nothing to do with this. No matter how much land we give them they will not stop trying to kill us until we are all dead. Therefore, we should not give them anything and they should lose land as long as they refuse to stop killing Jews.
The Palestinians have to learn the first lesson of deciding to wage war: You might lose.
7. Abbas is a war criminal who must stand trial for his crimes
Jake   (02.20.19)
He incites, glorifies, and pays rewards for grisly war crimes committed against innocent Jewish civilians. He should stand trial for his crimes.
8. Abbas needs to go
dorian s fund ,   tel aviv   (02.20.19)
Abba is a thing of the past.
Doesn't seem to have a real end goal except to stay in the headlines. In 50 years he has accomplished nothing.

All he does is threaten to sit down with people, not negotiate with people. He cares very little for the Palestinian people, they are his pawns to manipulate.

It time for new fresh blood that doesn't live in the past and who only cares about the future.
9. Blood Money disaster
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (02.20.19)
This is the single most toxic piece of PA miscalculation in its history of miscalculations

It proves that the PA are ACTIVELY FOSTERING murder and committing Palestinian Society to CRIPPLING and MIND BOGGLING amounts in handouts IN PERPETUITY to ANYONE the PA deem 'martyrs' to the cause

And it BLEEDS and TOTALLY undermines the Palestinian economy and indeed Palestinian society

In fact the joke that goes round is 'Stubbed your toe? Got a nosebleed? Just say it was done for the cause and you AND YOUR FAMILY will be set up for life'

Yet the money Israel holds back is not PA money..its Palestinian money.

What money thats held back should be used to create a Sovereign Palestinian Wealth Fund to be returned in full in the event of a full cessation of all financial inducements to support commit and reward murder
10. The stipends of Abbas' hired Sicarii
Gershon ,   Shiloh   (02.21.19)
Israel's Jews will never pay anyone to be killed.

Am Yisrael Chay!
11. tax $ should be used to keep security prisoners in jail
jore ,   la   (02.21.19)
if they don't need the money Israel should make sure they understand that this money will lapse and be used to support prisoner in jails and other projects in E. Israel to improve infrastructure and people's lives.
12. EVEN IF ISRAEL GIVES 40 BILLION, IT IWLL STILL BE MISMANAGED
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (04.30.19)
The world needs to wake up and realize that PALIS only want all of Israel and if even that, they will still be unhappy. Show me one M.E country is true Lu managing its finances properly? OIL rich ones are managing since they have too much money to burn and not show the cracks.
