The Palestinians willfully do not want to make a good economy for themselves? "Lady", since you know so much, maybe you can explain to those ungrateful Palestinians how to do this when their fields and orchards are taken or destroyed, when their produce is left to rot at checkpoints and raw materials or spare parts are not allowed in? You seem to know everything, so I am sure you also know how to do that.

Palestinians sure have contributed a lot to the good Israeli economy. Israel makes sure that their products are the only ones available to bring in - and at times it probably makes for good economic sense by Israel to dump all their expired- consumption- date products on the Palestinians, who then are allowed to have the beautiful choice of buying no longer fit for Israeli consumption goods or going hungry. I am sure it is also good for the Israeli economy to steal water from the Palestinians and then sell it back to them at inflated prices.

Yeah, those lazy, no-good loafers, they have only themselves to blame.

And since you worry so much about the sick and homeless in the US, maybe it would make sense to spend some of the money the US gives to Israel for settlements that take Palestinian land, bulldozers that destroy Palestinian homes and weapons that kill innocent people on them instead.
