<p>What you are suggesting reminds of a gemara, where the Egyptians went to Alexander the great to request compensation from the Jews for what they stole upon leaving Egypt. One person responded to Alexander, that that is fine, but first you need to compensate us for the 600,000 men working for 430 years. The Egyptians quietly dropped their suit.</p>Lena commented on 'I got your compensation right here [gestures lewdly]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a7b1dc7a970b2010-01-07T16:34:22Z2010-01-07T16:34:22ZLenahttp://www.esajudita.comIsrael actually did compensate the families of the few people who were killed on the ground at Osirak.<p>Israel actually did compensate the families of the few people who were killed on the ground at Osirak.</p>chaim commented on 'I got your compensation right here [gestures lewdly]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef012876b23fbe970c2010-01-07T05:10:04Z2010-01-07T05:10:04ZchaimWasted electonic ink.

But it doesn't even pay to say anything anymore. Just pray we don't pay and that their chickens come home to roost close and personal.</p>At The Back of the Hill commented on 'I got your compensation right here [gestures lewdly]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef012876b133fb970c2010-01-06T23:59:57Z2010-01-06T23:59:57ZAt The Back of the Hillhttp://atthebackofthehill.blogspot.com/their choice of yam No choice.

<p>Which is precisely a problem how? <br />
I see no reason whatsoever for Israel to recognize Irak's right to exist or be a nation.</p>

News flash: Everyone hates us, we have no friends, we are the eternal victims, and we can't get a fair break. Deal with it. :)</p>
<p> PS - I could be wrong, but I don't think Trep was trying for logic here. More like sarcasm. And FWIW, I think Netanyahu will give the Iraqi suggestion the exact amount of attention it deserves - which is to say, none at all.</p>mekubal commented on 'I got your compensation right here [gestures lewdly]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef012876aec478970c2010-01-06T13:57:49Z2010-01-06T13:57:49Zmekubalhttp://hamekubal.blogspot.com/You also forgot the expulsion of Sephardim and the seizure of their assets.

Which the UN has already ruled that Iraq, as well as slew of other Arab nations, need to pay for.</p>
<p>But really do you expect Israel to use a logical means like that to answer back? We are too caught up in the idea of everyone hates us, we have no friends, we are the eternal victims and can't get a fair break. So we will just take this one lying down as well.</p>Morey Altman commented on 'I got your compensation right here [gestures lewdly]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef012876ae7fc1970c2010-01-06T12:19:55Z2010-01-06T12:19:55ZMorey Altmanhttp://moreyaltman.blogspot.comDavid, you wrote exactly the post I wanted to write, and it's funnier than what I would have done.

<p>However, Israel did get compensation for the 1991 attacks (I knew the person at the Israeli Justice Ministry who was responsible for dealing with the claims):</p>
<p>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/Gulf_War.html</p>
<p>"A U.N. committee dealing with reparation claims against Iraq dating to the 1991 Gulf War approved more than $31 million to be paid to Israeli businesses and individuals. The 1999 decision stemmed from a 1992 Security Council decision calling on Iraq to compensate victims of the Gulf War (JTA, 4/14/99). In 2001, the United Nations Compensation Commission awarded $74 million to Israel for the costs it incurred from Iraqi Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War. The Commission rejected most of the $1 billion that Israel had requested (JTA, 6/21/01)."</p>
