Arafat didn't become a billionaire by being an oil tycoon or something. He became a billionaire by stealing palestinian aid money. The west put its blinders on (just like you are doing) and pretended it didn't happen and continued to send money. Arafat's assistant said 900M of aid money was simply missing.

Something like this will happen in similar situations to any group of people.

From all of history, name two.

Eh-heh. I get different information from that story than you do.

Blaming the "other" is standard practice in unsuccessful cultures... and almost guarantees continued failure.

Can you see any examples of "blaming the other" in your own culture? Have you ever heard anyone say "The niggers|jews|spics|rich people|poor people|drug dealers|cops are responsible for all the problems we're having!"

Wow, it doesn't sound very intelligent does it? The Palestinians are TAUGHT that the others are responsible for their failure. TAUGHT TAUGHT TAUGHT. With fucking Mickey Mouse ripoffs on national TV.

This is more responsible for their failure than ANYTHING ELSE. And here it spreads to you and Dana. Wow?

Israel was a desert. But the people focused on being productive instead of simply focusing on hate. And now the desert blooms. The same could happen in Palestinian territories. It is ONLY a cultural problem.

Wake up and smell the fucking coffee already.
