Ted, > What you clearly miss is how much control Israel has over the plight of the Palestinians and how deep their poverty is; that they have lived in refugee camps since 1948. The Palestinians are pawns of the rest of the Arab world. The poverty is a direct result of that. Israel is not responsible for it, no matter what any Arab says. Israel is only responsible for the defense and security of their own people. I don't think you have realistic picture of the situation. Israel controls the day to day lives of the Palestinians: "Mainstream Palestinians demand a state in the West Bank and Gaza. Right wing Israelis are opposed to creating a state, because, they claim, it would be a base for terror groups. In final status negotiations, the Israeli government agreed to a demilitarized Palestinian state with limited control over its borders and resources - a "state minus." The Palestinians have won a commitment for a state from the UN, and from US President Bush. The Road Map peace plan is intended to result in a Palestinian state. The Oslo Accords and the Road Map are opposed by Palestinian extremist groups like Hamas and by Zionist extremists." mideastweb.org
