Comments on: The poor, poor, rich, rich, pitiful pals http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/14/2861 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:03:40 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/14/2861/comment-page-1#comment-25157 Michael Lonie Thu, 15 Mar 2007 03:40:22 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/14/2861#comment-25157 The corruption there will never end. That's the way Arab governments work. Hell that's the way Israel works, if not so massively as in Arab countries, although they can probably get a better handle on it the less socialism they have. Fayyad sounds about as close to being a good guy as the Palis are likely to have for the foreseeable future. I'll bet some Hamas or Fatah thug shoots him. I notice he talks about economic relations with Israel. He must be the only Arab looking forward to those. Most of the Arabs are terrified of the clever Jews tricking them out of all they own if they ever make peace and have normal economic relations with Israel. They are even more afraid of Israel the economic power than they are of Israel the military power. I did not see in the story where the money is coming from. The EU? Washignton? I hope not. Keep the Palis cut off. If the Wahhabist Entity wants to subsidize the Palis, or if Iran wants to secretly fund their pathologies, fine by me. Every penny they spend on the Palis is one they can't use for nukes or madrassas in Central Asis. And the Palis will mostly steal the moola anyway. The corruption there will never end.
