    Embargo didn't stop flow of Palestinian aid

    Despite the international embargo on aid to the Palestinian Authority since Hamas came to power a year ago, significantly more aid was delivered to the Palestinians in 2006 than in 2005, according to official figures from the United Nations, United States, European Union and International Monetary Fund.

    Your people are facing a tough choice Wael - peace with Israel and hard work to build a democracy and grow economy...or insistence on the right of return leading to welfare state and uninterrupted flow of international aid.
    Hmm, what is it going to be Wael?

  7. So what is it going to be, peace with Israel and hard work or the nonsense of the right of return, perpetual victimhood, lazy lifestyle, welfare state and ever-increasing international aid?

  8. By me dropping my right of return, I am letting you get out of it scott free! Your zionist leaders have to acknowledge the injustice and the crime carried against us like the Germans acknowledged the crime committed against the Jewish people.

    We have made it amble clear that what we want is to be given the right of return or to be compensated for our loss. What is more important that both is the acknowledgment of the state of israel.

    When I am resolved that your state acknowledge and appologize for the crime committed against me, my grandparents and my my parents then I will find it much easier to trust you and build on that trust.

    The way you are and your follow zionists are going, I do not think that you are interrested in such a silly thing for your main interest is to continue your agression against me and against my people.

    Having me saying that, the Arabs have said, pull bakc to the 1967 border, statehood and the right of return and we will welcome you. Obviously you are not interested.

  9. You mean this crime
    In the summer of 1929...During the week of riots, 133 Jews were killed and 339 wounded (mostly by Arabs); 116 Arabs were killed and 232 wounded (mostly by British-commanded police and soldiers).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Palestine_riots

    Or maybe this crime:
    May 1921 brought new violence in Jaffa followed by large-scale attacks on Rehovot, Petah Tikva, and other Jewish areas. The death toll among the Jews was 47 with 140 wounded. Arab casualties of 48 killed and 73 wounded were almost entirely due to British military action.
    http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_riots_1920-21.php

    or this crime
    900,000 Jews indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa who were forced to leave their homes and abandon their property, who were stripped of their citizenship.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_lands

    or this crime
    On the day after the vote [on the partition resolution], a spate of Arab attacks left seven Jews dead and scores more wounded. Shooting, stoning, and rioting continued apace in the following days.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan


    or this crime
    The State of Israel declared itself as an independent nation, and was quickly recognized by the Soviet Union, the United States, and many other countries. Over the next few days, approximately 1,000 Lebanese, 5,000 Syrian, 5,000 Iraqi, 10,000 Egyptian troops invaded the newly-established state.
