Regretfully the Palestinians seem to have reached a state of development not much further forward than pre historic cavemen. If their pea sized brains can't comprehend that bringing children to demonstrate at the Israeli border fence alongside hundreds of other crazed mad men is beyond stupidity then they deserve what they get. Hamas have brainwashed their disposable pawn population into sacrificing themselves...and like it or not the more idiots killed the better ;it winds up the muddle headed liberals and gets them 'sympathy' and publicity.

www.timesofisrael.com/palestinians-say-trump-freezes-obamas-last-minute-221-million-payout/
Palestinians say Obama’s last-minute $221 million payout frozen by Trump Source says State Department has notified Ramallah the funds will not be immediately available, while it examines the transfer The Trump administration has informed the Palestinian Authority that it is freezing the transfer of $221 million which was quietly authorized by the Obama administration in its final hours on January 20, a senior Palestinian source has told The Times of Israel. US officials conveyed to PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah on Tuesday that the funds were not expected to be handed over in the immediate future, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. On Tuesday, the State Department said it was reviewing the last-minute decision by former secretary of state John Kerry to send the funds to the Palestinians despite objections to the transfer by congressional Republicans. The department said it would look at the payment and might make adjustments to ensure it comports with the Trump administration’s priorities. The Obama administration had for some time been pressing for the release of the money for the Palestinian Authority, which comes from the US Agency for International Development, known as USAID, and is to be used for humanitarian aid in the West Bank and Gaza to support political and security reforms, as well as help prepare for good governance and the rule of law in a future Palestinian state, according to the notification sent to Congress. Even without the $221 million, the Palestinian source noted that in 2016 the PA received $250 million from the US government. These funds included $180 million from USAID, $25 million to support Palestinian hospitals and $45 million to pay for fuel purchased from Israel. Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated. Kerry formally notified Congress that State would release the extra $221 million money Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump took the oath of office. Granger released a statement Tuesday saying, “I am deeply disappointed that President Obama defied congressional oversight and released $221 million to the Palestinian territories.” She added: “I worked to make sure that no American taxpayer dollars would fund the Palestinian Authority unless very strict conditions were met. While none of these funds will go to the Palestinian Authority because of those conditions, they will go to programs in the Palestinian territories that were still under review by Congress. The Obama Administration’s decision to release these funds was inappropriate.” |

They didn't just protest and throw a couple of stones? They also tried to storm a border? What would have happened if they had broken through. Were they intent on having a cup of tea on the other side?
If a group is big enough it can be threatening to armed soldiers even if the attackers only have primitive weapons, and there were thousands of people who tried to storm the border. If it only had been a handful of people I'm sure the Israelis would have managed to stop them using non-lethal force. To me it seems like they did what they could to keep the number of deaths as low as possible. They dropped leaflets and used radio broadcasts to warn people to stay away from the border (the warnings even reached me in Europe the day before!). They used teargas and fired warning shots, and after that shot at the ankles as much as possible. There's not going to be a peaceful solution to the conflict until the Palestinians reject Hamas. It's impossible. |

Labour is infested with Muslims lets be brutally Anne Frank about it. They are the enemy within as far as I am concerned ,if we ever have to go to war with some Muslim country these people will not fight shoulder to shoulder with us. They will fight for their fellowships against the infidel. Multiculturalism never succeeds and it will end up in bloodshed for all the countries who have allowed these parasites to get foot holds ,Sweden is at boiling point ,the Germans are now seeing merkels mistakes and Italy may be out of the eu before us. Posturing ,virtue signalling and lack of any concrete thinking will leave these countries like this till it blows up. WHO'S side are you on?.

Why is it `apartheid`, please? It`s the only Middle Eastern state that allows Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Political Association, Sexual Equality, same-sex partnerships, etc, etc. It`s actually a world leaser in such issues, without the slightest hint of apartheid to be seen. Something for you to read buckteeth http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-makdisi-israel-apartheid-20140518-story.html Let's see you pick holes in that, I'm sure you will. Let's see you pick holes in that. Sure you will. |

That is not apartheid, that is merely a country looking after its own citizens over and above citizens of another country
Every country should do the same, it’s the only way to bring about peace and progress Complaining about the Israeli flag :) too bad |

What is a democratic country? It is a group of people who believe in the same fundamental things, who share pretty much the same values and have the same outlook when it comes to how they want to live
That’s all democracy means , it is dangerous not to understand that |

Some nice little risqué jokes have come to light covered over in the Anne Frank diaries :
Why are weirhmach women in Holland ? To be the soldiers mattresses A man , if he is normal , goes with a girl , when they meet in the steet they go together There are big houses in Paris they go to, my father has been there A man with an ugly wife finds her in bed with a man He thinks to himself, he gets to, and I have to : ) not bad for a 13 year old girl |

Was thinking the same detraveller.
Firstly, wondering what the mods are thinking allowing that kind of comment to be on site still. Secondly, the sheer hypocrisy of some on here. Up in arms about being called gammons but strangely quiet if some other terms are used in the other direction. And now Israel. Shine a light on the atrocities being committed and you're quickly labelled an anti-semitic racist. And yet the same people say a party is infested with Muslims. Shame on Betfair frankly for allowing people to regularly post such undiluted racism on their forum. |

By:
If you don’t address the problems within the Labour Party and prefer to pretend they don’t exist then any comment that is made about Israel will come under suspicion
Try and understand that first |

Is Israel perfect? No far from it
But it is much much better than any Muslim country and many other countries that are not Muslim |

I have personally never understood anti-semitism. Probably due to my lack of knowledge. But from the political perspective, it is a great tool to have. Keeps the sheep busy.

Look at Corbyn. He has convinced people he is anti-semitic(apol. if that's not the right word) and in bed with the russians. What if, God forbid, the people found out he had absolutely no interest in the well being of the british people and started talking about it? That would be the end of his career. But he knows people love to talk about the jews and russia. So he feeds them exactly that. And the sheep bite every time.
Trump does that same. People like to talk about his stupidity so he feeds them exactly that. He can say and do anything and people won't talk about the issue, they'll talk about his stupidity. |
