78% of humanitarian aid for Palestinians ends up in Israeli coffers

[theliq]

Shir Hever, an Israeli economist who has spent years piecing together the murky economics of the occupation, recently published a report that makes shocking reading.

Like others, he believes international aid has allowed Israel to avoid footing the bill for its decades-old occuption. But he goes further.

His astonishing conclusion – one that may surprise Israel’s settlers – is that at least 78 per cent of humanitarian aid intended for Palestinians ends up in Israel’s coffers.

The sums involved are huge. The Palestinians under occupation are among the most aid-dependent in the world, receiving more than $2bn from the international community a year. According to Hever, donors could be directly subsidising up to a third of the occupation’s costs.

Other forms of Israeli profiteering have been identified in previous studies.

In 2013 the World Bank very conservatively estimated that the Palestinians lose at least $3.4bn a year in resources plundered by Israel.

Further, Israel’s refusal to make peace with the Palestinians, and as a consequence the rest of the region, is used to justify Washington’s annual $3bn in military aid.

Israel also uses the occupied territories as laboratories for testing weapons and surveillance systems on Palestinians – and then exports its expertise. Israel’s military and cyber industries are hugely profitable, generating many billions of dollars of income each year.

The label “the most aid-dependent people in the world” – usually affixed to the Palestinians – might be better used to describe Israelis.
Israel should be totally responsible for the health, welfare, education and economic opportunity in those areas it occupies.

That's a crock of BS. Israel only takes the money the Palihoovians owe for water and power bills they try to get away without paying.

Nope Hoss,you are wrong,as usual on all things Palestinians

Jordan says Hamas seizes aid covoy sent to Gaza

AMMAN, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Jordan said on Saturday the Islamist Palestinian group Hamas has confiscated a convoy of humanitarian aid sent to people living under an Israeli blockade in the Gaza Strip.

Minister of State for Information Affairs Nasser Joudeh told the state news agency Petra that Hamas members on Thursday seized 16 trucks carrying emergency supplies into Gaza and diverted the cargo to a warehouse run by the Islamist group.

Q. I wonder how much of that "aid" is actually this:

4 tons of amonium chloride (used for rocket fuel) mixed with salt begs - confiscated.

I wonder why you didn't include a link to your claim?

I did.

The ammonium chloride was confiscated in 2016,
the video is from 2017.

Such attempts at transferring explosives and military equipment happen on a weekly basis.

From a week ago, this is how Egypt deals with Gaza smugglers:

Then the solution is to cut off all aid to the Palestinians. They're just using the money we give them to buy more rockets and AK-47s anyways.

NO it was the US and Israel that initiated the Hamas Movement,FUNDED THEM & GAVE THEM WEAPONRY....What a defectively short and Myopic MEMORY YOU HAVE,,,,,,Shame on YOU
