BTW, Martin Gibson, the Palestinians, as a people, are one of the most highly educated groups of people in the world. And the people in the Palestinian Occupied Territories have an economy that is based on commerce and industry. The problem is that the aparthied system that Israel imposes upon them is crushing their industry, their business, their livelihood, and their economy. And none of it has anything to do with religion. There are Jewish Palestinians and Christian Palestinians as well as Muslim Palestinians.
