Our leaders and the EU are prime investors in a shoddy investment in a violent society who over the last 50 years have proven to be very uncivilized, non-accountable. We are rewarding them for their violence and hatred toward Israel and asking them for restraint when provoked and attacked. Israel should be soverign enough to make their own decisions, their future and existence are at stake and there have been a number of times when the US did little or nothing in assisting them.
Israel should have never given up any of the territories they had to occupy because of at least three major attempts to destroy them[1948,1967,1973] and a few others. Arrafat had billions in his personal accounts, Abbas is also a billionaire, Arrafat's wife draws 22 million a year from their treasury alone, if these people were worthy of becoming a nation, they have displayed very openly they are capable of only kill, steal, destroy, not build, construct, and mold a good and civilized society, first fruits, stop attacking Israel, show them on all their maps[all arab nations,22] stop teaching hate to their children and only then can a workable peace be spoken of and acted on, until then it is futile and useless, waste of time, funds, resources.
