"Palestinian shamble"
Reader comment on item: The Palestinian Economy in Shambles

Submitted by steven L (United States), Dec 27, 2007 at 14:26

The West has replaced its guilt feeling towards the Jews by "supporting" financially the Palestinians without any demand for accountability! Is there anything more absurd than this!

The Muslim Arab world does not give a dam of their "Palestinian brothers", on the contrary.

They cultivate the Western guilt feeling by prolonging the suffering of the Palestinians.

By the way is the US the main financial supporter of UNWRA?
