Give proof of how they thrived along with them. 800,000 Palestinians were displaced in 1948, I don't know how many people would suddenly just say "Don't worry about stealing our homes, we just want to be friends now". I mean, c'mon, how would you react to people taking your property without notice to install a new state and then place you in horrible refugee camps.
This money is going to build walls which will further enclose the Palestinians. The problem is not solely the Palestinians, they are not going to be as efficient as making money but they can support themselves if given the room. The problem is that they don't have the room to farm.

What does this have to do with anything? So, you will have a few people that will take advantage of situations like this but that has very little to do with the poverty being the Palestinians fault. Something like this will happen in similar situations to any group of people.

Yeah. The Israeli's bulldozing their settlements and cutting them off with walls and road blocks, often to the point of preventing farmers accessing their farms and shopkeepers accessing their shops, that had fuck all to do with it.
