The idea is not actually to be self reliant, since they live like leaches off of coerced handouts from Arabs counties and Europe. The idea is to use the Jews as their bogeyman, as if we are making millions off of the poor Palestinians.
What a joke, if we stopped all of them from working in Israel and making money from us, they would die of starvation.

Hey Mr Abbas, maybe you should actually try to help people succeed instead of keep them perpetually angry and poor (and maybe stop stealing billions and putting it into overseas accounts)

Israel needs to stop playing games with our mortal "Palestinian" foes and claim Judea and Samaria, and our other lands we foolishly abandoned to "Palestinians". Right now Israel's insane policy is to let "Palestinians" squat comfortably on our land while plotting our demise.

Abbas, once again, proves to be a Jew-hating idiot that will try anything to keep Jews and Muslims from living and working together.

"We won't buy any Israeli produce."

Did he even consider what would happen to the Arabs if Israelis decided to never again shop at an Arab store?

The Arabs would finally step up and lynch Abbas, which would be the best thing that could happen.

When will the Arabs stand up to Abbas? When?

argue the rest.

because this is where the $16 million will go to

Great move by them and I wish them every success.I cannot understand why there are so many racist and negative talkbacks re this issue.|fter all they will be tilling their own soil.

It will limit Palestinian violence on Jews.

This "government" of this Arab tribe/ group is not elected anymore by the people, which they represent, e.g. Abbas himself. In this case we better can speak of a dictatorship, which is one of the most corrupt in the world. Examples are not needed, because (almost) anybody already knows that.

Idiots to realize that they are going to have to work for peace and prosperity. Trying to defeat or expel Jews are the wishful dreams of the past. You can beat us in business and money and then you can really get your so called independence that you so much talk about, instead of asking for handouts.
