| Report: Intifada costing Palestinians $11 bil. |
| 2004-04-08 |
| The Unemployment in the Gaza Strip and West Bank stands at 50%. The figures quoted by Globes also indicate that 84% of the Palestinian population lives in poverty. The report’s Palestinian authors call the present circumstances as the worst in history of the Palestinians in the territories. Average per capita income for Palestinians in the territories is now only $2 per day. Meanwhile Israel has far and away the highest GDP in the middle east excepting a couple of oil rich sheikdoms. I wonder why that is? |

| #4 pretty soon: worst case scenario - Paleos become congenitally incapable of living/supporting a "global - including Israel" economy in which case subjugation and rehabilitation (on someone else's $) becomes the only option to extermination |

#3 The figures quoted by Globes also indicate that 84% of the Palestinian population lives in poverty.And yet the child they recently tried to use as a suicide bomber said he'd rather be playing on his computer or playing video games. Guess their poverty is different from mine. Their morals certainly are. |

| #2 Let us see....we will place the sample in the chamber, turn on the scanning electron microscope, adjust the screen, and voila: The world's smallest violin at 0.2 microns long! Got the picture. Print it out. Stuff it in an envelope [woops, almost forgot to draw the scale on the image]. Anyone got the address of the Paleostinian Authority? |

I guess this is what happens when you're no longer invited to the party anymore because you keep crapping on the carpet. |
