#4 Palestinians have a higher standard of living, funded by western aid, than most of the people living on this planet.

The typical African, Indian or Chinese villager has lower consuption of calories, eats far less protein, has a lower life expectancy, has far lower access to education, or to health care than the average Palestinian. They probbaly don't have access to running water or electricity and job prospects are bleaker.

Somebody tell me again why the Palestinians deserve to live off foreign aid...

#6 Sahara Desert, hell! Move it to Gaza.

I suggest an 80% increase to the paleos, too - 80% more missles and rockets from the IDF.

#7 Somebody tell me again why the Palestinians deserve to live off foreign aid

Because they're doing something about a problem that bothers (nearly) everybody?

#8 I suggest a 80% cut in water and power going into "Palistine" until they renounce violence, colect all the weapons and toss them in the ocean and disarm all 'Palistinian" factions in Lebanon and Syria.

That and toss the UN out.

#9 Too bad the UN doesn't have enough brains to tie an 80% Palestinian aid increase to an 80% decrease in agression against Israel. Of course, that would require the UN to actually show some backbone when it comes to anti-Semitism and we all know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell who, exactly, are the bigger @ssholes. The UN, with all its pretensions of ability, education and diplomacy being directed towards such blatant eliteism, or the Palestinians whose intractably sideways attitude towards peaceful coexistence really needs to be rewarded in a like manner for once and all.

#10 I guess Hamas has scared the UN out its usual food for nookie response to this sort of thing, .
