Israel is dealing with an enemy that refuses to recognize it's right to exist. Suicide bombers and daily small rocket attacks by Hezbollah terrorize the Israeli people. Israel has offered to withdraw from 97% of the lands in question. Each time it acquiesces, their enemy takes it as a sign of weakness. How do you deal with people who state that, "we love death more than the Jews love life!" The poverty of the Palestinians is a result of leadership that is more bent on destroying Israel than it is concerned with improving the lot of their people.
