The Palestinian Intifada is costing the Palestinian economy US $11 billion, according to PA figures published in Gaza Thursday, Globes reported.
Unemployment in the Gaza Strip and West Bank stands at 50%.
The figures quoted by Globes also indicate that 84% of the Palestinian population lives in poverty.
The report's Palestinian authors call the present circumstances as the worst in history of the Palestinians in the territories.
Average per capita income for Palestinians in the territories is now only $2 per day.

Answer: Overthow your corrupt leaders, embrace democracy, make Peace with Israel. Your incomes will skyrocket, your children will have the hope of a better tommorrow. Wishful thinking? no...cause it is the ONLY way.

Won't work. They suffer from a special kind of insanity that revolves around the concept that the most important thing is to kill people.

But it hasn't cost the $90 million or so that counts, so far.

Bush needs to speak loud and clear to the Muslim world that if they renounce the killing, their countries will go from the bottom of the heap to the top.
