"The degree and scale of their self-serving corruption is staggering and blatantly evident to all."
No more than corruption elsewhere - including Britain, which left millions homeless and unemployed - (and Israel, of course) that's politics for you
Your relying on Palestinian corruption to denigrate Palestinians totally ignores the fact that it is an integral part of modern acquisitive society everywhere - not exclusive to Middle Eatern politicians and no less reprehensible.

Utter crap
"Palestinian" was used to refer to the nationalist concept of a Palestinian people by the Arabs of Palestine in a limited way until World War I"
It came into full use when their right to their homeland was challenged by the Israelis - around the time the "State of Israel" was "invented"
"It was not the Israelis who bundled people on their own land and shut them up in camps and called them "refugees""
It was the Israelis who drove over five million Palestinians into exile and has persistently refused to allow them to return.
Refugees are the product of a war brought about by constant land seizure by the Israelis
