| #18 Part of me is. Me great-great grandmother was named Lillie Coolie and came from England. When I was a kid of 9 yr I memorized Bernard Miles' monologue Over the Gate. And don't forget Billy and Toggie. Also Me and Old Charlie. Always liked that kind of humour. |

| #17 Alaska Paul, your sense of humor is so dry are you sure you're not British? Arthur Anderson might be the only company who could make the books add to what Arafat wants, but their credibility died with the book-cooking of the Clinton 90's. |

| #15 I say that Arafish and Co get not even a chance of funding until some independent and reputable auditor, say Arthur Anderson Co. goes over the Red File and publishes a report of its findings for potential donors. |

| #13 Tap tap tap - nope, nothing. They still think they can play the sympathy card and get away with it - I think too many people have seen the 9/11 celebratory videos, the UN ambulances being used to ferry gunmen, the photographers standing next to Hamas pricks and Arafats bloody red binder still hasn't moved! |

| #12 What? Is Sura (Arafat's wife) running out of 'shopping money' again? |

| #7 Why doesn't Annon just reach into his pocket and give back some of the money he stole from the UN oil for food program?? |

| #6 Things are getting better, securitywise, in Israel because the Paleos source of cash is drying up. The UN will just set things back. Actions--->consequences thing. If Kofi can cough up $200 million, he ought to do something about Darfur besides talk about it over lunch. |

| #5 The agency said that despite the appeal, the international community has not met UNRWA's financial needs over the last few years.[snip] So far, 43 percent of the $209 million required for 2004 has been obtained. The world has noticed. The Palestinians may continue to get verbal support, but they've already lost considerable real support. I suspect that between the decrease of official UNRWA donations on the one hand, the cut-off of monies from Saddam Hussein on the other hand, and the shut-down of so many Muslim charities on the third hand, real financial support for the Palestinians has dropped by something like 75%. Consequences can be such an uncomfortable thing. |

| #4 Jules - their "plight" is of their own making (with help from their brother Arabs). Even if they were to clean up their act, I'd still have zero sympathy. When they learn to love their children more than they hate Jews, they will have peace. And with peace comes the opportunity for prosperity. |

| #3 How many times do we have to say it-as long as Palestinians help and adore suicide bombers, they scratch out sympathy for their plight in the US. Clean up your act, Palestine. |
