"Israel is a wealthy country with international financial backing"

Ehmmmm Jom, to-date the leaders of the "Palestinians" have received more international aid than was given the whole of Europe in Marshall Aid to rebuild at the end of the Second World War. What have those "Palestinian Leaders" done with it? Enriched themselves and let their people suffer in deliberately maintained poverty and despair - because that is what keeps all that international aid flowing in. The people will never see more than a few pennies of it, the "Palestinian leadership" makes damned sure of that.
