If the PLO had put as much energy into educating their people to be productive, building industries that would return money to the people, and promoting good will toward Israel, providing utilities for themselves, and fostering positive relationships with other nations of the world, as they have put into teaching hatred of Israel in schools, obtaining war weapons with which to kill Jews, and running to the U.N. screaming about the mean old Israelis...maybe they would have a whole lot different per capita income. Thanks PLO!
