Well you poor bastidges. I'm crying my eyes out for you. Why don't you all go outside and ululate for 40 - 50 hours -that should help.
"I'm deeply saddened.."
"If Arafat's wealth was distributed in full to each and every inhabitant, including women & childen it would amount to about $215,000 each."
Why don't you suggest that to Hillary? I mean, she's in real tight with Arafat's widow, right? Hil LOVES to redistribute wealth. This would be the perfect job for her. Man, I just crack myself UP! ;)
"'I think Hamas should soften a little bit, and they will soften a little bit,' said Samy Najar, 38, who owns a supermarket in the southern Gaza town of Rafah and has seen daily sales drop from $1,125 to $225. 'Let us give them a chance to see what they can do for us.'"
"All we are saaaaying is give Hamas a chance!" ~ With apologies to John Lennon

Yes, Samy, let's all sit back and see what Hamas can do for you. We wouldn't want to interfere and steal their thunder. Let's make it a fair test, and give them all the time in the world. Surely they can do more for you than the evil Americans did.
And what galls me is the Beatles were and are filthy rich with huge estates despite England's taxes.Just as lots of protest singer made gobs of money exhorting kids to act stupid.
Where's the Arab help? Saudis got plenty of money. Why not blame them?
Isn't that nice. There were 165,000 government employees, all being paid nice fat salaries on our dime.
And exactly what was this "government" doing that was so very useful?
Seems to me that it is the Palestinians who are refusing to accept the outcome of the parliament election that swept Hamas into power.
Oh, yes. I totally understand Lennon. :)
Sure wish I could get my crazy Aunt to turn all of her first-run Beatles albums and 45's over to me for 'safekeeping,' though. I'll keep working on her. ;)
Hey, nice satellite dish in the pic. I don't have one of those. I wonder if maybe I paid for it.
All they have to do to start the money flowing again is make the appropriate noises. It doesn't even have to be sincere, and it won't be. But if Hamas cannot bring itself to do even that then we are in the classic situation where the guys with the guns starve last. I believe it was H.L. Mencken who said "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." A point to ponder.
Lots of tinhorn dictator wannabes in the area would love to have them.
Yay! It's Headache Guy, my hero!
The slammite world has to be forced to find a place to put these lunatics, at least 500 miles from Israel. If they could find room for 70 million pakistanis they can find a place for the palis.
How about the moons of Uranus?
If I was a reporter the first question I would have asked these 2 men who were used as examples would have been "Did you vote for and do you support Hamas?" Of course that would be objective reporting.
Just pouring money down a rat hole.
But fortunately, they still have money for guns, bombs and terrorist training. :)
Let the Saudis finance this cesspool.
Let the Iranians finance this cesspool.
They're the ones with all that oil money.
