the palestinians faced a "problem' and they decided to identify with the 'problem " and become a victim of the "problem" and whenever you do that you are screwed.
the jews faced a much bigger set of negative circumstances and they could still be hanging out in the ghettos of europe being all sad and butt hurt and throwing rocks at angela merkel but instead they used their setbacks as the emotional juice to fuel an upward spiral. and whenever you do that, you win...everything, always.
the palestinians could all sit in the library and get supersmart, they could hit the gym and get super jacked, they could learn an amazing work ethic, they could be super positive, they could teach their kids to be super smiley and awesomely polite and they could attract hi tech and grow a super economy.
i sometimes think korea (also devestated by war) did this and now has global companies like hyundai and samsung just crushing it.
until the palestinians set their sights on being the next south korea, they will be stuck in this angry emotional soup. the left will continue to pander to them and encourage them to remain stuck.
the intellectual leftie elite who pander to palestine pretend to be the friend of the palestinian.
100 % wrong. they are the destructive force that is holding the palestinian back.
the jews would gladly hold down ropes to pull the palestinian up onto the "narrow road to success".
the palestinians will continue to ignore these ropes
Hows this for an idea , They tie those ropes around their necks then get the Jews to hoist them up ?
i think the jews are playing a game they cant lose and the palestinians are playing a game they cant win.
if the jews manage to inspire the palestinians to become strong confident and give up the victimhood, then they have a good neightbour to trade with.
if the palestinians just remain victims , then the jews have a neighbour who they can just push aside .
its like if i was a poor farmer and i had a rich farmer next door.
either he inspires me and i make freinds with him and learn from him and become successful like him
or
i get all jealous and butt hurt and fight with him and then he just buys me out and i end up homeless, broke and sad.
i think we should always study success, cosy up to success and try to emulate success
The Palestinians are their own worst enemies, They put pride before their massive stumble. As you have said they could suck a load of cash out of Israel , get the bugger over it and feed your children
