Consider the following:
· In 1999 the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution by Israel giving in to 99% of their demands. Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader declined; the world was confused. Peace on a plate. Refused.
· The Palestinian elite don't live in so-called “Palestine”; they live in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai, predominantly in 5-star hotels, driving fine cars and eating in Michelin Star restaurants
· When Yasser Arafat died it was revealed that he had some $5billion (that’s $5,000,000,000) syphoned from international aid and deposited in Swiss bank accounts in spite of never working.
· $2.1 billion of world aid has been extorted thus far since 2005 by Hamas through tithes and taxes on anything entering the country. On top of this:
· Hamas senior Dr. Musa Abu Marzook is now worth over $2billion– he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· Hamas senior Khaled Mashaal worth $2.6billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· Hamas senior Ismail Haniyeh is worth $3.5billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha - owns $4million, 2,500m2 plot of land in Gaza City and 13 houses in Gaza registered in the names of each of his 13 children) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· President Mahmoud Abbas is worth around $100million - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune (except as President)
· Currently in Gaza (since 2001) there are now 1,243 Hamas millionaires, up from 850 in 2012 (President Abbas himself claims there are nearer to 1,800) as well as 1,450 "near" millionaires - apart from a very few entrepreneurs, none have earned this income by working
· The Gazan unemployment rate is about 29%, with Hamas-controlled yearly wage for Gazan workers averaging $2,900
Meanwhile . . . .
In spite of receiving tens of billions of dollars in aid and investment, Gaza has no infrastructure to speak of. It is a crumbling country, a failed state. It could by now have been one of the most advanced state in the Middle East had the money been spent properly and had they chosen to work with Israel instead of against it (something other Arab states and Hamas didn’t and don’t want). There roads are falling apart, the hospitals are very poor, the infrastructure is some of the worst in the world.
Germany was flattened after World War II. So-called “Palestine” is 50 times smaller than Germany yet has been gifted 35 times more money than German did to build a state and nation which they have steadfastly refused to do. Germany rebuilt itself in the same length of time it has taken Gaza to instead fire 11,000 rockets (average of five a day) into Israel and waste hundreds of millions of dollars building terror tunnels that are now either collapsing because they couldn’t even do that correctly or being destroyed by the Egyptians or Israel.
As soon as the people who are in control of so-called “Palestine” accept peace, they will get no more free money, no more 5-star suites in Dubai for the elite and all will actually have to live in Gaza themselves amongst their people.
That is why there is no peace.
Yes "Free Palestine", but it isn't from the Israelis they need freeing and it certainly should not be free for Palestinian leaders through their ongoing personal use of misappropriated world aid.
Wake up world!
