[/COLOR]As soon as Israel turned the wasteland into a thriving metropolis, here came hoards of Palestinians to claim it's their land. So what does Israel do? They make peace offerings to the Plaestinians, build a security fence, grant them their own land so the Palestinians can stay & even save their lives in Israeli hospitals. Shame on those Zionists in Israel for finding ways to get Israeli's killed by Palestinains.
Amazing . . . with billions upon billions upon billions of American taxpayer's dollars, it's hard to believe that Israel was capable of turning a wasteland into a thriving metropolis <guffaw>. ~ Susan
PS Ohhh MJ, you Zionist kid you <snicker>.
Have you even bothered to look at the truth about these billions of dollars, and just who gets 10 times as much aid as Israel does. By the way it wasn't Israel as it did not exist, but it was the Jews who migrated to Palestine at the request of the Ottomans who turned the wastelands of Palestine into fertile farmlands. That is why the arab muslims flocked to the area looking for work. If you also check you will find that while Jewish people were looking at ways to improve the crops the arab muslims were destroying what land they had by bad farming practises. Just look at modern day Israel and you will see green as far as the eye can see, and all done on less than 17 litres of water per person per day. The Palestinians are using 30 to 50 litres per person per day and still they want more because they are to used to waste.
The Palestinians - and their Useful Idiots worldwide - cannot bring themselves to admit that the Jews of Old Palestine (later, Israel) transformed that land into arable, useful and productive land and re-tasked it for productive purposes - utilizing their own hands, sweat and labor, and that incoming Western (and American) foreign aid had very little to do with that.
Why can't the Palestinians and their shills admit that?
Because then they'd have to admit that the Palestinians failed to do the same thing over the decades and centuries, and that the Palestinians are less motivated and eager to improve conditions, and less visionary and capable and competent, than the Jews whom they despise and whom they greatly envy. Jealousy is a powerful motivator.
We (the United States) did not even begin to provide Economic Aid to Israel until the 1950s, years, and decades, after so much of the transformation had already occurred.
The US has, indeed, pumped some considerable economic aid into Israel in the past - although we stopped that within the past 10 years.
Why did we supply such aid?
Probably because we like Jews much better than we like Muslims.
And, come to think of it, why didn't the Arabs, and the Muslim world at-large, pump more Economic Aid into the Palestinian areas?
Lord knows that the Saudis and Egyptians and Iraqis could certainly have spared it in years past.
Then again, given that the Egyptians and Jordanians, et al, have joined the Israelis in blockading the Palestinians, perhaps the rest of the Arabs like the Jews better than the Palestinians, too.
