The problem is that Israel continues to occupy land that it took in 67 and expand the settlements. That's the UN's "problem" with Israel. For the vast majority of Israel's non-Jewish neighbors the "problem" begins in the Israeli war of independence in '48 when part of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious region known as Palestine gets declared a Jewish homeland and renamed Israel. As you can imagine all the non-Jews in the region formerly known as Palestine didn't like that.

Israel's success depends and has always depended on massive support from the US(your taxes). I wonder, based on a per capita basis, whether the billions provided in aid to the Palestinians by the UN, the US, Saudi Arabia, Iraq [including the 25k bonus by Saddam for the families of suicide bombers], etc., many of which billions went into Arafat's Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts, are even close to the aid we have given Israel. And I also wonder which one of the two put the aid to better use. But don't look too hard for high tech Palestinian enterprises, apart from the fabrication of suicide bomber belts, because you won't find any. The operative word is dysfunctional. But this dysfunctionality is, of course, the Nasty Jooos fault.
