#4 "John Kerry presented on Sunday a plan to develop a "healthy and sustainable" private sector-led Palestinian economy....It would mobilize $4 billion on investments in the private Palestinian sector, grow the GDP in 50% and cut unemployment in 2/3rds."

this for a society that devotes enormous energy and funds to subsidizing hatred, employs 5% of the workforce in no-work jobs and another 5% of the workforce in armed security personnel whose main mission is to protect the interests of the ruling party.

#5 If all the self-appointed 'bigwigs' (or 'big-mustaches' as the case may be) didn't take their cut of the largess flowing in, bet there wouldn't be such an economic crisis.

#6 Kinda like their greenhouse that was put in place, but then looted and destroyed when the west left. The only economy these rats have is to suck as much aid from the west and build rockets and bombs to throw at Israel. That is all they will ever have.

#7 Politicians never seem to know how to propose a solution to anything without spending someone else's money. Unless he plans on investing in Rocket plants or bomb manufacturing this investment will yield no return on investment.

Has anybody asked Tay-Ray-Zhah? It might be a step up for her from Jawn.

#14 If he believes so strongly that the Palestinian economy can grow, he should invest some of his own money in it.

That is, if he has any besides his salary as Secretary of State.

#15 He could throw in his savings from not berthing his yacht in Taxachussets.

#17 Since Tony has managed to steal a hundred times as much money in England, on top of filling the country with terrorists, the Palesto-Simian sand monkeys can count on getting near absolute zero of that money...which in itself is not all that bad a thing!
