>> 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?

Israel confiscate Palestinian money.

Soon Israel will exist no longer, not because it is pushed to the sea, no, Israel is a force not to be mess with, however, the Jews are finding out that the promise land is not what was promised and there is a mass exodus out of Israel. Just to give you an idea, there are more Jews outside the promise land than there are in the promise land. The number of Jews is increasing outside Israel. Heck, they are trying to import Jews from Africa and even if a person great great grandmother was a Jew once or has Jewish features with a promise of a good life. And those entire technology hub that you talk about were created to entice Jews in, however, it is not working. Get your head out of the sand and ask real Israelis why they are leaving. Please do not ask for link or a web page, all you have to do is ask people why are they in North America.

Exactly what has come out of the Palestinian Territories even with the Billions in aid which have poured in there over the decades?

Rockets. They appear to have a large cache of rocket scientists in the Pal Territories!
