>> Israel is a hub of development for medical innovations and technology innovations.

Good for them. I am sure they are also ripping the rewards of their innovations. I don't think the world owes anyone anything for doing what was in their self interest.

>> Exactly what has come out of the Palestinian Territories even with the Billions in aid...

When the US gives as much money and political clout to the Pals as it does to the Israelis, then after a few decades of development you can make a fair comparison. Until then, you cannot have an objective conclusion.

>> Why is there absolutely no introspection or self-criticism on the part of the muslim community?

I can't believe this to be the case. Mind you, I stay away from people who identify themselves based on their religion like plague. So any "muslim" I'd get to know would be a secular one, just like every Jew or Christian that I befriend. But considering how well they manage to tie up US resources and political currents, I'd say it cannot be random chance and they must have had plenty introspections on how best to confront us.

>> If it was up to me, I would have cut off all funding to the Palestinian Territories once hamas was elected into power.

If it was up to me, I'd cut off all funds to *ALL* foreign governments and spend it here at home. What you think we don't have poor people here who could use it?
