One reason Arab Palestinian economic growth has been so disastrously slow is the terror war that Yasser Arafat launched against Israel in 2000.

The Second Intifada shattered Israeli hopes for peaceful concert with a new neighboring country, and led to an economic estrangement that proved horribly costly to Arabs, claimed to be “Palestinians”.
Israelis stopped employing these Arabs workers and stopped buying “Palestinian” goods. Transit and trade between the two became difficult and painful.
And whose fault was it?
Israel, which agreed in principle to a deal at Camp David in 2000 granting Palestinians a state with sovereign dominion over nearly 94 per cent of the West Bank?
No, it was exclusively the doing of Arafat, who served as a reverse George Washington – rejecting nationhood for violence.
Saeb Erekat blames “occupation” for Palestinian poverty. But the PA has dominion over almost all of the West Bank and Hamas has control over all of Gaza, so the word “occupation” is all but meaningless.

My comment:
You will simply be a liar, if you claim that the same Jew-hate that ran in Hitlers mind, is not present in the so-called “moderate Islam”.
The best proof there is, is the picture of Salam Fayyad acting like a full blown Nazi, burning Israeli products on January 5th 2010.
Fayyad is not a lesser learned hooligan from an Arab village.
Fayyad is a MBA graduate from St. Edward’s University is a private Roman Catholic institution of higher learning located in Austin, Texas. He is also the present Prime Minister of the self governed PA in Ramallah.
We saw similar fires in Berlin in the years 1936 to 1938.
God of the Bible promised to curse all who curse the Jewish people. God can be trusted.
Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
Say no more. I rest my case.
