  Why wait for the infidel money to be stopped or cut off? Sacred Iranian money should be flowing to help their brothers in need, and not only the Palestine people but our brothers in need in Africa too. Hypocrites the offers in the past never materialized. People do not eat promises, there are thousands all over the Islamic world dying from starvation and the only money that comes to help is the “infidel's money” (US and EU). The Iranian money has been only directed to arm terrorists. All the promises to help the Palestinians are false!

  We know how Islamic nations feel about helping Palestinians; they are just refugees in their countries, even if they were born there. Palestinian people has never been accepted anywhere in the Muslim world and only are being use for political reasons. In western societies Palestinians never have been called refugees and in most cases has been granted legal residence and citizenship so they can live normal and productive lives in safety; no wonder they never go back.

  After more than 50 years and after so many generations? It is alright for Palestinians to keep their hope of return but in the mean time Muslim countries should stop the hypocrisy and grant full citizenship to “refugees” and stop discrimination. May be not all “refugees” want to go back.
