"...not to build, but to destroy, namely, Israel."
That's the most telling thing about Palestinians. Look at their neighborhoods. Dirt, filth, rubble. No trees, grass, flowers, or architecture of any note. An entire people bent on destruction of a neighbor. I'm sure they'd blame that on Israel, but look at what the Israelis have accomplished. They came with nothing, but turned a desert into an oasis. Wonder if anyone knows that Israel has mastered the computerized use of water and is the largest exporter of FLOWERS to Europe! If they were civilized people they'd compete with Israel on an economic level.
I'm a supporter of both Israel and your thesis point, but you have to also admit they've received a great deal of US foreign aid, too.
