Hi Foxy,
"I was going on the fact that just 27% of respondents
selected Hamas as the preferred party more Palestinians
favoured Fatah."

- I didn't know that, but is it in Gaza, the West Bank or both?

If that's true then it shows that the argument that 'all Arabs want just want to kill the Jews' to be a complete lie.
- Those stats say MORE Palestinians support a 2 state solution and statehood than want revenge and endless hostilities, does it not?

Does anyone disagree with that logic based on those statistics?

AC ya dill,

"Stop trying to make out Israel's doing them a favour."
I didn't say they were doing them a favour. Just pointing out another major source of foreign funds Gaza receives.

"Was it not you who just said in the comment before your last:
"They don't have decent jobs The average daily wage in the West Bank is $32 compared to $82 in Israel."

Nup. It was SR. I was quoting him to refute him. I couldn't be bothered checking his numbers but on past performance there's little chance they are correct.

PS....decided to check. The average wage in Israel is closer to $US120 while the average wage for Gazans in Israel is $51. BUT most Gazans are unskilled workers and their wage is roughly the same as Israeli unskilled. Whatismore, the wages unskilled Gazans earned in Israel is double that they earn in Gaza or the West Bank. So as I thought.

Hi mhaze,

Ahh, I misunderstood, please accept my apology
- And sorry for misattributing a SR quote to you.

"BUT most Gazans are unskilled workers and their wage is roughly the same as Israeli unskilled. Whatismore, the wages unskilled Gazans earned in Israel is double that they earn in Gaza or the West Bank."

Does that sound a little contradictory?
- Either way thanks for the info / checking.

Here's a cheery thought for those who think Hamas can be bought off with a two state plan....

"The entire planet will be under our law; there will be no more Jews or Christian traitors.".

“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and other countries," he said."

So how would you look in a burqa Foxy?

I've already got a beard so I'm home free. Although a coupla extra wives is too much to contemplate. As is the thought of 72 virgins. These days 30 is my limit unless Allah comes up with an enhanced form of vitamin 'E'.

How would I look in a burqa?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Pauline Hanson looked better in one.

My taste in clothing now is, maxi Moroccan-style
kaftans with beautiful embroidery or colourful
Picasso-style designs with matching jackets.

I have several Picasso-style jackets and coats.

BTW: The Koran restricted the practice of
Polygamy and suggests Monogamy as the only
acceptable form of marriage for society in
general.

Polygamy is only encouraged by the Koran where it
concerns " oppressed orphans among women." If
justice can be done by marrying more than one.
If justice cannot be done than you're supposed
to marry just one.

As for the 72 virgin? That's also a bit dicey.

I think that there's something in Jewish law also
where a family member (like a brother) is supposed
to marry his brother's wife if his brother dies
and she's left a widow.

I'll look into that.
