Blowback: How Israel Helped Create Hamas

[Deadstick]

The West are still doing it supporting Islamist terrorists in Syria like they did in the Balkans.

Palestinians might just be jealous of the Jews because they took land and turned it into a paradise unlike anything Palestinians were capable of.

Palestinians are a backwards people.

Greedy, barbarous, and cruel.....

Who showed up by the 1000s to cheer Hamas soldiers dragging bodies through the streets.

Your kind of people?

September 2018, a report from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics found that Palestinians have one of the highest literacy rates in the world. The finding chimed with the Palestinians’ long-running reputation as the world’s “best-educated refugees” – a claim often made by international organizations as well as regional actors. Particularly but not exclusively in the Middle East, Palestinians have long had a reputation as high-performing graduates, often proficient in at least two languages, and frequently going on to pursue successful careers in engineering, business, or medicine.

At the same time, the Palestinians are the world’s largest refugee population, with the longest-running case of protracted displacement. How did it happen, then, that a large-scale refugee population, many of whom survived for decades in refugee camps, became so highly educated?

Conventional wisdom cites the role of the relevant UN body: the Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, better known by its acronym UNRWA.

Active since 1950, UNRWA provides essential services to registered Palestine refugees in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, known as the “five fields” (it also provided services to Jewish refugees within Israel until 1952, when it ceased operations there at the request of the Israeli government). Since 1960, education has constituted UNRWA’s single biggest program in terms of investment, funding, and personnel; today the agency operates schools, vocational training centers, and teacher training institutes. It provides a full basic education to registered Palestine refugees across all five fields; in Lebanon it also runs secondary schools, on account of Palestinians’ exclusion from the country’s public services. Due to its comprehensive nature, UNRWA’s education program is often described as comparable to a national education system, with the obvious distinction that it operates across multiple countries.

The program has been lauded in its quality as well as its scale. At its zenith, UNRWA schooling was considered so outstanding that even Palestinians who were not registered refugees, and other nationalities, allegedly sought (unsuccessfully) to enroll their children.

The success of the education program had knock-on effects for the Palestinian diaspora, as its high quality enabled some UNRWA school graduates to secure scholarships for higher education and then pursue successful careers elsewhere. In the second half of the twentieth century, many moved to Kuwait and elsewhere in the Gulf, where they used their education to work successfully as engineers and businessmen.

For a time, remittances from these refugees became an important source of income for Palestinians in the Levantine camps. While that particular phenomenon came to an abrupt end when Kuwait expelled all Palestinian residents in 1990–91, the latter retained their reputation as a highly educated group. To this day, UNRWA contends that its students are “among the most highly educated in the region.”

Palestinians are a backwards people.

No different from most of the people who post here. Are Palestinians afraid of masks and vaccines, too?

What is not true?

I have a source that says the IDF will not take prisoners with weapons in their hands. Any house with weapons will be pulled down and every person 17 and over summarily dispatched. Let's see if that happens.

By the second day, Palestinians will be pointing out Hamas tunnels and positions as well as identifying individuals, either out of fact or revenge against people with whom they have enmity, who are supposedly Hamas.

Northern Gaza literally will be awash in blood.

All that goes to show that you can be educated but not necessarily civilized.
