Israel knew how to use the aid and developed. Even without aid it would have developed,because its people are hard workers and have pride. The same happens in your country ,Canada;people WORK,don't beg! And it happens in so many other countries and with so many other people:they fight for Life!People strive to succed!People go on! So, Palestinians situation is a matter of pride and shame! They prefer to stick on others than take their own lives in their hands and do something good with it.And mind that they have huge international fundings flowing to them,as we see in this article. They can resolv their problem of land with another arab country,that owns 99% of the midlle east,but,at least up to the moment, they prefer to stick there ,in Israel,fighting with Jews ,bombing them,hating them,arguing that that is their land.But is not.They were always peasants in that area,and were always explored for land owners,to whom they worked . Jews bought parts of these lands ,in 19th century,and were the only ones to help palestians and give them jobs and better perspectives of life,what ,by the way ,happens untill nowadays.All their infrastructure is provided by Israel,as well as almost of their jobs. So ,maybe,without any help ,they will do something to find their own way in life and stop blaming others. And you,do you give your opinion about Africa ,or south america,or what ever with the same strong feelings you are giving here?I guess not.And this is because you are ,like many others,an easy mind to be manipulated .Enlightened people judge all sides in a fair manner.

Any of you who responded to the cutting aid section. Have you ever been to Israel? or is this Information you gleaned from the media. Do any of you realize that Israel provides to Palestine FREE OF CHARGE water, electricity, gas, work and medical care. SO where do your tax dollars GO ? Most US taxpayers should go back to their local government and find out that MOST corportate america does not pay taxes if they can help it., those companies you work for , they consistently FIND every which way not to pay taxes into the US and finance CHINA instead. Before you state your opinion about any other country than your OWN. Check on the true facts about Israel. Which you as an AMERICAN TAX PAYER obviously have NOT done.
