#2 Funny. The arab world didn't give a sh*t about the first somalia.

In fact, if somalia was so much worse than paleoland, why didn't the ISM come to its rescue? Why didn't the arab league try to get resolutions passed in the UN? Why didn't the arab world seethe the way they do every time Israel is mentioned?

Ah hypocracy, thy name is islamic.

#3 Time to give up the Palestinian myth, and return to your grandparents' lands.

#4 "Razak said that there would be no calm in Israel if the current financial crisis continues and there would be terror attacks if PA wages were not paid." Yes, but there will be FEWER.

#6 I really think the world is getting sick of listening to the pissing and moaning of the Palis and could care less if it turns into New Somalia.
I know I am.

#7 In an interview with the British The Times newspaper Razak said that there would be no calm in Israel if the current financial crisis continues and there would be terror attacks if PA wages were not paid.

I believe this is referred to in the civilized world as simple blackmail.

#8 No, Besoeker, the term is extortion. Blackmail means that you pay me to keep quiet about your indiscretions; extortion means you pay me to keep from killing you.

What I'd like to know is "...would turn into "a second Somalia". "

How could anyone tell the difference?

#9 When the Israelis finish their fence and the Paleos can no longer threaten Israeli civilians, who in Israel will care what the Paleos do to each other. Or did he mean by a "second Somalia" that there would be widespread famine amongst the seething, unproductive masses if charity donations aren't increased?

#10 By "second Somalia" he may be implying that Americans are going to die.
