Why is Israel rich and Palestine poor?

Right. It’s why most of Africa and South America is poor, too. Terrorist leaders do not make good leaders of nations.

There’s also a ‘blame” issue- if you spend all you time blaming someone else for all your problems and not fixing them yourself, you never get out of that hole. Look at Mexico for a example.

I’m not too familiar with Mexico, but how much blame rhetoric goes on down there? They certainly have huge problems with corruption and transparency, but when it comes to Latin American deflectoscreeching[sup]1[/sup], I think of Chavez-era Venezuela.
