If the Pals want prosperity like Israel they should make it happen the same way Israel did. Ignoring the facts may help you feel good about your position but it does nothing for your argument. Palestine was NOTHING until Israel made it into something. Very true. And the Palestinians have taken advantage of that exposure. They have one of the highest literacy rates in the ME......97% of the men and 88% of the women are literate. That's at least in part due to their exposure to the Israelis. The major problem is they don't have the capital to develop an infrastructure. They don't have sources of outside financing like Israel had and has. Israel also took the best of the resources of Palestine....the best ports, the best growing land, most of the coastline etc. These are some of the facts you ignore. There are many more.
