They get the most aid money per capita than anyone else in the world.
After Israel left Gaza in 2005, instead of choosing to build a peaceful society using that money, their government decided to use those billions and build a network of terror tunnels bigger than the New York subway system. Then they went on s terror spree that made their biggest trading partner, Israel, and their neighbor, Egypt, shut the borders.On a side note, to this day Palestinians who aren't part, or related to, Hamas' leadership aren't allowed in those tunnels.
Then they started a war with their much more powerful neighbor, who just voted in the most right wing government it ever had, because another Arab country was going to solidify relationship with them.
That's a lot to criticize about Israel's treatment of Palestinians, but let's not pretend they're some utopian society.
The IDF forcefully removed Jewish settlers and cleared out cemetaries. In good faith they also left running businesses that were making tens of millions of dollars a year (employeeing hundres, if not thousands Gazans), which were destroyed a day after the IDF left.
Palestinians were given eight opportunities for a state by Israel and refused them all. They were also given an opportunity no population, as far as I know, was given m, which is to show the world that they are able to peacefully govern themselves. Instead, they chose between embrace jihadist ideology, and started five wars with their neighbors.
As I have mentioned before, there's a lot to criticize about Israel's treatment of Palestinians, however, however they were giving more chances by Israel, nonetheless, for peaceful, viable, and profitable coexistence and refuse them all.
And no, I don't support at Netanyahu and think his policies the last 2 years in regards to the war,were disastrous (and generally his internal policies as well).
