Palestinian Boy Kidnapped and Murdered.

Please don't ask me to prove my words and then completely discredit the proof when it destroys your argument.

So because you said that Palestinians are now spending ALL their aid money on rockets then changed it to some because they embezzle the rest....it makes your point more clear?

A poster on this thread has already stated that Israel spend ALL of their aid on US hardware.

Hypocritical much?

 

[No6]

All US aid to Israel gets spent on US hardware; this consists of 15-20% of Israel's defence budget or about 1% of its GDP so if the US withdrew the funding, it wouldn't actually make a massive difference.

I would say that 15-20 % is substantial.

Your point about it being spent on US hardware kind of proves the point when some buffoon is pointing out that the aid given to the Palestinian authority is ALL spent on rockets.

Ok, not ALL spent of rockets. The rest is stolen and goes into Swiss bank accounts allowing PA leaders to live in luxury while their people suffer.

So, you post a comment containing spurious claims, get shot down, then proceed to spout even MORE far fetched nonsense.

Nice work Barker! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next installment.

Ok - to lighten the mood somewhat, I suggest a little competition.
You simply have to complete this sentence;
'The Real Reason Why The United States Props Up One Of The Most Morally Dubious Regimes In The World Is...'
The winner gets a pint of Guinness and a packet of pork scratchings.
Although clearly the scratchings won't be included should the winner be Jewish.
Or Arabic, come to think of it.

It's sad they you can actually sit there and make jokes about this whole thing.

Erm, why aren't you fact finding?

 

[Skashion]

You mention Swiss bank accounts and rockets and you expect to be taken seriously?

Elaborate.

Have you got proof of your accusations?

Links please!

How about a signed confession?

15-20% of the defence budget or 1% of GDP is substantial, however I wouldn't call it enough to "prop up the regime" as some posters are saying.

I'd agree with WD.

I want the scratchings too and I also want my pint in the Grapes for old times sake, with a whiskey chaser and a promise that both will be still there when I come back from having a piss.. !!

You'll have to get yourself down the Grove for the evening mate - it's, erm, an experience.
Some bloke I've never seen before walked up to me in the Bird In Hand on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to buy 17 caravans for cash.
Your answer is the best so far, but I'll suspend judgement until midnight, which gives the proper pissheads and the truly unhinged a chance to post.

Here's another. This is from the Electronic Intifada, which is about as pro-Palestinian as it gets.

“Donor Aid to Palestine” by Rex Brynen provides the most insightful analysis of the “complex system of financial diversion that arose during the Oslo period.” The International Monetary Fund (IMF) calculated that since 1993 Arafat had diverted almost $900 million. The former Palestinian leader repeatedly blamed the lack of transparency and the funneling of foreign funds on the prolonged Israeli occupation. Much to the detriment of the Palestinian people, Arafat’s corrupt legacy remains intact with the current PA.

You're just wasting your time. They ask for proof, they get it, it defeats their argument, they act like children and throw insults.

Fair enough mate, I will be excited when I wake up tomorrow though, not excited enough to land in the Grove and go to the Bamboo again though ;-) enjoy Mr B while I'm gone, looking forward to reading the posts later.. !
