Palestinians in poverty despite aid - 17 Dec 07

[AndSR]

Hamas was elected only because is less corrupt than Fatah. Israeli occupation have a heavy blame, sharing cities, destructing infra-structure, and some palestinian politicians are allies of that underdevelopment. Keeping Abbas in power without elections, with israeli help, is just more one way to remain this cycle.

When Arafat died his family went into its own civil war for control of the MILLIONS of dollars he had in overseas banks.

Now, where do you think he got this money?

Palestinians are just like the Indians in the US. They love talking of past injustice-and when you look at the leadership of these communities-its the same story. They take millions give it to their friends and family-appoint their cronies and blame the white man/jew for why the majority of their people live in poverty.

I know that a lot of the money is used for funding terrorism. How do you think people who can't afford a decent meal pay for bombs, uniforms, and training?

[MustafaPresents]

By supporting the PA under Abbas, the United States and Israel are only supporting entrenched corruption. Maybe that's part of the plan?

Yes, Wake Up! citizens in west bank and gaza are being majorly ripped off by their own leadership. stop blaming everything on the israelis. blame the corrupt palestinian officals and the jihadists! the wall also restricts jihadists from killing isreali civilians!

When the Israel with the international community backing closes all the doors for a viable UNGA 181 State of Palestine, the only door open is armed force to free the people from Israel malevolence of Crimes Against Humanity, USA despotism and UN Tyranny- nonadhereance to International Rule of Law.
