Palestinians told to prevent 'civil war'
2006-06-20
Palestinian factions must fight a slide into civil war which is being exploited by Israel, Islamic diplomats said at a pan-Muslim conference in Azerbaijan on Monday. "Palestinian forces should not allow a civil war to take place," the foreign minister of Malaysia, Syed Hamid Albar, said at the opening of an Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) meeting in Baku.

Yemen's foreign minister, Abu Bakr al-Kurbi, said the victory of the Palestinian Hamas faction at parliamentary elections in January was being exploited by Israel. Like Israel, the United States and the European Union consider Hamas to be a terrorist organisation. "The victory of Hamas is a trump card in the hands of Israel, which does not want dialogue with the Palestinian government," he said.

He also called on international donors to resume the aid to the Palestinians that was cut by Western governments after the Hamas win. "Today there are threats to blockade the Palestinian people. We demand donor countries aid Palestine," Kurbi said.

#6  Now they DEMAND aid money??!!?
What the f*ck is wrong with these idiots?
I hope and pray not another cent of American taxpayers money that was supplied by our sweat and labor ever goes to these cockroaches. There are people in the world who want and deserve our help to help themselves, to pull themselves out of the shit and make a better life, but these skidmarks arent them.

#4  So true. Tis Arabs we be speaking of. Who be speakin' to us, in their unqiue way. Arabic is a fun language, actually, it's so flowery and colorful and picturesque, yet dead, lost, lonely, pitiless, and worthless. Sad, that. Schway, schway, bubba, they be slow on the uptake.

#3  Demand - I heard that word before, it seems that there is no any other way to express a request in Arabic. No "we urge", "we'd like very much", nor anything close to "pretty please".

#1  Last paragraph sums it up:
"We demand that you give us free aid money. And a pony! Or else...."
