Actually, over the years the United States has given large sums of money to Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority (Until the terrorist organization Hamas gained power), and Israel. In the Soviet Era the dictator Nasser was heavily subsidized and weaponized by the Soviet Union. The PLO was funded from Soviet coffers and also the UN. The Israeli government didn't receive US government funds in any large size until the Soviets got heavily involved on the sides lf Israel's enemies.

Most of the early pioneer settlement was based on land grants from land purchases by Zionist organizations. It was only with the outbreak of war that land fell into Jewish hands as a result of how that war fell out.

Considering that Saudi Arabia and Iraq have funded the families of Homicide Bombers, that the oil money is all on one side, there is no doubt that the big money here is on the side of the Arabs. Israel is lucky to have any kind of economy at all after being forced to pay heavily in men and materials for defence.

The so-called Palestinian term Nakhba gets redefined to suit the occasion, apparently. The longer they sit in those camps and the more of them there are, the better they used to be, the more populous and prosperous the Holy Land was until it must've been a virtual paradise about the time in WWI the English and their minions kicked out the Turks. So why not let's invite the Turks back.
