(57,936 posts)If they made peace, they could easily get Israel which is one of the most sophisticated countries on the planet with a lot of well educated citizens and a relatively high living standard, to help them make a lot of progress materially and as a society.
Fools.
Just fools.
They should take the peace agreement, enforce it against any Palestinians who refuse to accept it and, once they have proved that Israel can trust them, start to reconstruct their society and build a nation with Israel's help.
They just mire in their own self-pity and don't take advantage of the good fortune they have in living so close to a society that needs peace with them and is technologically and in every other way more advanced than they are.
That's foolish. Just foolish.
