What money cannot buy
By Israel Harel
Tags: Palestinian, national pride

When Israel, in a moment of weakness of historic proportions, allowed Yasser Arafat and 40,000 of his fighters to enter Jericho and the Gaza Strip, the world - excited at the first signs of a Palestinian state - loaded them with money. Israeli and Jewish foundations were also engaged to build new Palestinian factories and develop educational projects. The theory, then and now, was that people who are financially stable do not resort to violence.

But instead of education, construction, employment and welfare, most of the funds were diverted to terrorism, the upkeep of bloated, corrupt organizations and the private bank accounts of the Arafat gang and not a few corrupt interlocutors from Israel.

It seems that the decision makers have learned nothing since. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was promised more than $7 billion by the representatives of donor nations, who gathered in Paris last week. This enormous figure proves that the donor states - along with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and her team, some Military Intelligence analysts and certainly the talking heads - believe that money can buy anything, including national sentiments. This just goes to show they refuse to learn from experience.

Abbas, even if his intentions are good (which he has only rhetorically proved thus far), does not even control Fatah-linked groups. He therefore cannot ensure that the funds alloted to humanitarian and economic projects will not, as they have in the past, trickle into the pockets of cronies and terrorist organizations.

Palestinian groups consider Abbas and his associates to be traitors; they were glimpsed in Paris embracing world leaders and Zionist enemy representatives while Israel Defense Forces gunships were attacking Palestinians. No amount of money, the heads of the terrorist organizations said, will make them recognize Israel or end the war against it.

Were democracy, education, culture, economic prosperity and civil rights the goals of Middle Eastern nations, Iran's petroleum wealth would not be invested in long-range missiles and nuclear reactors.

Likewise, the oil revenues of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Egypt would be spent on establishing democracy and economic and social stability - not on funding corrupt regimes and producting and procuring modern weapons.

The Israeli leadership, despite intelligence information showing the Palestinians are determined to continue fighting, wants to dispel the illusion that achievements were made at Annapolis and Paris - achievements which would lead to a final settlement.

If there were any achievements, they were virtual. Something important apparently happens when ministers travel abroad; some accompanying reporters try to cover up the void. Who among them would dare report that much of the big event - of Annapolis, for example - is cosmetic? Part of a show?

More troubling than the real and present danger that the funds, like in the past, will be used for abominable purposes, is the notion in Israel, that national sentiments, or peace, can be bought with money.

Were economic progress and education at the top of Palestinian priorities, most of the residents of refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Gaza Strip (who humanitarian organizations have tried to assist) would have found a way out of their atrophic reality and built for themselves and their offspring, lives filled with prosperity and self-respect.

However, in their eyes, national pride comes before personal and familial well-being. Only when they return to their homes in Jaffa and Haifa will their pride be restored.

Therefore, they continue to live in squalid conditions in refugee camps - out of choice. Contrary to the principles of the Western and Israeli dream - economic prosperity and individual rights - the Palestinians dream of returning.

A change to this dream cannot be bought, for the information of those spreading illusions in Israel and the world - not even with $7 billion.
