yes they "greatly sympathize" with the Palestinians. Thats why the Pals live in poverty while many of the Arab nations, the highest GDP on the planet, do nothing, not a damn thing to help!  |

without any impact to their taxes or standard of living, Arab nations can pave the streets of Gaza in gold. |
