The west will break and bail these animals out again. To me, this is liking reviving vampires from the dead. They are blood thirsty animals. If they want to live in a civilized manner, they need to learn to live in a civilized manner. Otherwise, they are no better than rabid wolves.

BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip - He's overdrawn at the bank, owes $400 to the grocery, can no longer afford baby formula for his youngest and is trying to sell his 16-year-old car for half its value to raise cash for food.

You would think by now they would realize that their past behavior is directly related to whats happening to them now. Having said that, I can spare a little time for sympathy....times up! Reap what you sow a**holes..

Arafat's estate could probably cover the pali's expenses for at least a year.

Maybe the Nazi welfare state the "international community" has created for itself should bear the brunt of its decisions.

No? You mean the humanitarian needs of fascists and thugs is just what everyone loves to moralize about?

The West won't lift crippling economic sanctions and Hamas refuses to moderate its violent anti-Israel ideology, even though its government is broke and unable to pay 165,000 employees.

Life's a bitch.

They elected the thugs and now they are bitching that the West is doing what they clearly warned them they would do. No sympathy from me.

He's told his boss he needs to cut his work week to three days because he can no longer afford the daily $3 in gas for the 12-mile roundtrip between his home in Beit Lahiya, near Israel

Boy, that solves the problem

They're sucking us dry and Bush keeps feeding 'em with MY money...

Arafat's worth as estimated by Forbes in 2003 was 300 billion. The Gaza Strip has an estimate 1,400,000 inhabitants. If Arafat's wealth was distributed in full to each and every inhabitant, including women & childen it would amount to about $215,000 each.

Allah will provide!
Or God will strike them dead!
Or maybe they can all starve to death, and solve the "middle eastern" problem by natural attrition.
Either way, none of my tax dollars should continue to enable any Islamic terrorist anywhere in the world.
Perhaps they can strike a deal with Castro and Chavez?

You may have meant $300 million. No human being on earth, no even Bill Gates is worth $300 billion. $300 million is still a lot of money and the Pali's should go after that instead of begging from the West again. As far as I am concerned the US should cut off all money supply to not only the Palis but all murderous Islamic governments.

...I wonder where this compassion on the part of the AP was when thousands of my fellow citizens lost their jobs because of the actions of a handful of his co-religionists.

165,000 "government" employees? What do they do?

I'll answer - NOTHING.

They produce nothing, and hence the have no economy. All they know how to do is take money from other nations.

Yea! but the U.S. government continues to provide funding even though they state otherwise.

Its enough to tick a person off.Taking taxpayer dollars and providing them to a terrorist group that will use the money to buy weapons and explosives to kill innocent people.

What are they doing?

Why the heck is the US paying welfare to Palestine anyway? Don't they have some sort of goods or services they could be selling - well, other than terrorism and "I hate Israel" bumper stickers.
