Do you think this whole peace thing has to do with Arab mentality ??

Question

I mean, if they wait longer they will get more.

When I first came to Israel, I was told by a friend, if you want to "kill" an Arab merchant, don't bargain, agree to the first price he asks, he will sit for days cussing himself for not asking more.

So are these Arab politicians sitting waiting for more concessions.

Answer 1

Why take an anti Semitic attitude.  Promoting racism isn't the way to peace.

Answer 3

I had that happen while I was in Jerusalem, being American, I am used to either paying the asking price, or walking away not wanting to spend that much.  It drove the merchants I came in contact with wild.  I wouldn't bargain, they just kept lowering the price untill I accepted.  So you might have a good point there.

Answer 4

My dear ST Idiot, maybe that's true but I prefer that from the Jewish politicians who shamelessly and in a very "jewish" way cannot control themselves when it comes to nickels and dimes.

Should I remind you your last 2 PMs?

"Asking" for more, like an Arab is not bad.

"Stealing" from the poor, like a Jew PM, I am afraid it is.

For Pete's sake my dear lady, these people suppose to be the leaders of Israel!

Imagine what's happening with the common servants and Public employees in Israel!

I pity the American taxpayer, because that's him who's paying the bill, after all.

So you as a Jew can talk almost about anything but Please don’t insult my intelligence, we all know that "special" relation of money and the Jewish psyche, right?

Greetings

Answer 5

No.I think  It has to do with both sides faults and their inability to recognize their own faults.

Or the lack of it.
