I exaggerated about my ancestors bringing NOTHING with them from Russia when they left.

They were allowed only 50 pounds per person, on steerage.

I remember discussing this with my grandmother, long ago. She asked her grandparents what they took with them.

"Why, we took food!" is what she said. "Because we didn't know if we could buy or get any on the way to America."

So, they started a whole new life here, starting with only 50 pounds of food from home. Everything else was left behind.

No room for anything else.

Can someone explain to me why the hell Israel doesn't cluster bomb that street full of Hamas?

Arafat snarfed $900 million of Palestinian aid money into his own personal Swiss bank account. Do you think this might be a factor in their poverty?

So the poor conditions in which they live gives them the right to send young men and women with bombs on their chests into crowded bus stops? I'm sorry, indeed I would be severly pissed, but I cannot feel too much pity for people who stoop to that level and those who celebrate their barbaric acts.

Yes they need a change of heart, but as you pointed out until that happens their leaders will keep sending them to do everything they can to destroy Israel, the US, and western civilization in general. Until the day comes when that change of heart takes place it is us against them.

Bullcrap!

If you didn't have any jobs, any property, any rights, any hope, you would be just as pissed off as they are...at anyone...at everyone.

They only have themselves to blame for their predicament. Instead of protesting against Israel, it would behoove the Palestinians to turn against their beloved Arafat...

Oh, of course not. They are poor because of the Jews and the USA.

Just like animals, they bite the hand that feeds them!
