You see Virginia, there really are intelligent kufrs...They make video's like this one, they make speeches at colleges and universities, like RS, they write informative articles like Hugh...Intelligent kufrs are restoring my faith in...whatever it is that needs restoring...

Thanks...I needed that...

The Gazans have been on the international dole for decades and developed all the classical symptoms: they eat too much trash food; get lazy and totally dependent of help from outside.

More fat "refugees" are not found anywhere else in this world. The only reason they constantly demands more food must be because they eat for comfort. ;-)

The Arab world must remember they cannot fool for long:" You can fool some people all the time, all people some time not all the people all the time". Donor countries must realize that Hamas is using donated money to buy weapons to destroy not only Israel but all nations who do not toe to the Islamic Jihad. And make no mistake that Hamas is killing Gazans by forcing the conflicts on them. Time has again and again proved that they are ungrateful people. USA and UK donated billions of dollar to Pakistan, but covertly they are fighting against the US and UK army in Afganistan. Pakistan is still the epicentre of international terrorism. We must act fast against these jihadist elements anywhere in the world.

No, but you can fool enough of the people enough of the time, and that's what matters. The Moslem authorities have been doing it for about 1400 years, and they've been pretty successful so far.

The following article written and posted on April 21,2008 demonstrates where the Palestinians of the Gaza Strips priorities are.

You will note that they even attack the Kerom Shalom Crossing where much of the strips donated supplies flows through by several 100 truck loads every day.

According to data from the WHO from 1999-2003, the male population of the West Bank and Gaza ranks 8th among the most overweight in the world (with 23.9% of the total being obese.) As for the female population, its position in the ranking is 3rd (with 42.5% of the total considered obese.) This data is listed in The Economist's "The World in Figures" pocketbook.

Does that make it look like those A-rabs are starving? Starving my @$$ (sorry about the expletive, but the MSM's lies demand it.)

The MSM lies thru it's eye teeth in support of Hamas, 'starving' 'Palestinans', the 'fraud' baby injury pictures...(See end of link below with picture of injured child), and perversion of the written word...The mainstream media has become the official propaganda arm of Hamas and Islam supporters everywhere...

Most regular posters here are already well aware of this, so this advice is for the ninety percent who have not got the word...

Don't believe them, don't spend a nickel on them, and don't buy from their advertisers...get your news from the net...

These people are trying to trick us...The way to get over being tricked, is to get over being tricked...

Here are some comparative statistics (from several online sources):

Hong Kong:
area: 426 sq. miles; population in 2008: 6,985,200; population density: 16,469 per sq. mile; per capita GDP (ppp) in 2007: $42,123.

Gaza:
area: 146 sq. miles; population in 2008: 1,537,269; population density: 11,060 per sq. mile; per capita GDP (ppp) in 2006: $1,100 (that includes the "West Bank").

As we see, HK's population density is much greater than that of Gaza, and the difference in per capita wealth is enormous.

HK has no natural resources except a fine harbor. Gaza has no natural resources and does not have a good harbor; but it does have an excellent location to be a trade depot for the Middle East and northeast Africa, if its people decided to make it so.

Why the tremendous difference in individual wealth? What HK had until a decade or so ago was economic freedom. And it has an enterprising and self-reliant population. It seems never to have occurred to them to live on the charity of others.

Correction: I wrote that Gaza's location could make it a good trade depot for the area. I meant to say "financial depot."

This absurd theme of Gaza's "impoverishment" -- do you know of any other "refugee camps" in the world, in Chad or the Sudan or Afghanistan or the Congo or East Timor or anywhere else, that boats DVD stores and cell-phone stores, and where the entire population exists, in perpetuity, on the international dole which uses up almost half of the entire U.N. budget for refugees, with all the other, tens of millions of far more deserving and real refugees, having about the same amount to share between them (and the "Palestinian" Arabs also receive other Infidel aid, and by the billions, beyond what they manage to extort from UNRWA).

For an example of the absurd public presentation of this "impoverished" Gaza we have the recent spectacle of Cherie Booth Blair's hysterical sister, who finds Gaza to be a concentration camp just like Treblinka, Belzec, and Auschwitz. Here is Cherie Booth Blair's hysterical and hate-filled sister, who in an interview deplores the conditions in Gaza, which are not only like a Nazi concentration camp, but also just like Darfur, including women and children -- have been raped, murdered, their houses burned up, their cattle stolen, and millions more of the black Africans of Darfur harried by the Arab Janjaweed out of the Sudan altogether, into camps in Chad.

Here is Cherie Booth Blair's sister, shopping for groceries -- all of them supplied by Israel, as is the electricity, the water, everything since the Gazan Arabs are not about to do a thing themselves -- at a store in Gaza:

Just like Belzec. Just like Auschwitz. Just like Treblinka.

There once was a time where people migrated for jobs and opportunity. Now they migrate for handouts and wellfare. Usually to the locations where the benefits are the best. In the Middle East, your talking Gaza.

Gaza is a death camp-of sorts. One of their own making. Where living is free and death is welcomed.

According to the Robert Fisk Introduction to Samir Kassir's paean of self-pity, "Being Arab", the assassinated Palestinian journalist in Lebanon was blown up when he started his car on his way to work.

This poor man's car? An Alfa-Romeo.

Rather more than I can afford.

2nd principle of Muhammed at work. Deception. As long as you don't feel the same for others, you don't deserve to beg mercy of others.

Hugh thanks for the post and link on Blair's sister-inlaw. That was priceless!

Did anyone else notice the huge "Western Union" sign in the background of the picture above. Western Union does not send telegrams anymore, as of few years ago. So, what is their business, now? They exist entirely for wire money transfers--mostly, for immigrants to send money back home.

So, this office above exists solely for Gazans to pick up yet more money--a supplement to all that international "humanitarian aid".
