Palestine thanks Malta
The Palestinian National Authority has thanked Malta for its help in the evacuation of 13 Palestinians from Libya last month.
In a letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Tonio Borg, Palestine’s Foreign Affairs Minister Riad Malki said that the Maltese government and people have always placed Palestine close to their hearts.
“They have demonstrated their solidarity with the Palestinian people and have supported our quest to fulfill our right to self determination,” the minister said.

@ Robert Callus. Thank you for your words which show a generosity of spirit towards Kevin Bonnici that his words do not warrant, in my opinion, Mr Bonnici's words are patently racialist. The only conceivable explanation, in my eyes, is Mr Bonnici's lack of emotional restraint coupled with an inability to express his point of view in a civil manner. It is sad that we should be discussing the racialist rather than the important and delicate issues at hand; Palestine/Israel/Eqypt/Tunisia/Libya and the involvement of other states, including our own Malta.

My,my,my!! Seems anti-israeli propaganda at its best. Why is it that with every word you say you have to be so biased? Couldn't you just have said thank you? A simple thank you without the adornments would have sufficed. But no, you have to provide their much idiotic rhetoric and propaganda. The Maltese government did what was deemed right and humane, and had they been Israeli-Jewish Israelis, i'm sure he would have done the same. We brought to Malta loads of other nationalities and people of other religions, so Palestinians who came here were some of the many who came to Malta thanks to our government.Palestinians were not brought here in your perceived support to your right of self determination.Give us a break, get a life and don't moan any more.

@Kevin Bonnici: You are using the Palestinan cause to vent your anti-semitism.

Carmelo, I think Kevin has a very valid point. Most US media is pro-Israel and anti-Palestine (using politically correct terms of course) Having said that, it is true that there are people who fake support for the Palestinian cause in order to spread anti-Semitism. While from his comment I don't think Kevin is one of them, these people in reality don't give a hoot about Palestinians.

Shame on Israel for attacking Palestinian people in the Gaza strip during the past the three weeks! Israel must evecuate Palestinian land and stop the massacre of the Palestinian people who are helpless in their own land! The didn't manage to take over Europe thanks to someone, however they managed to take over the USA and PALESTINE! It's a shame to see that the USA let's the Jews control them in THEIR own country TOO!

Israel and the US are friends so what ?? What do you expect that the US have Hamas as there friends?? Palestinians should organise themselves like Libyans and other Arab countries to overthrow Hamas which is dragging them to there own doom instead of urging kids to blow themselves and throw stones to tanks!!
