Let's compare.
Jews built an entire parallel government, on their own, under the British Mandate. All without international aid or Western consultants or hundreds of NGOs. They built industries, created tens of thousands of jobs, and didn't whine that it was too hard.

Compare to what the Palestinians have built in 25 years since Oslo. They don't have a functional court system, their government is corrupt, they can't even agree who their leader is. Their top priority, in their own words, is paying terrorists and their families.
The Palestinians have not shown the ability to govern themselves effectively. Period.
This is hardly a controversial position.

The reason for this is not stated out loud too much for fear of insulting Palestinians, but the truth is:
Their real strategy is not the creation of a strong, independent state, but the destruction of one.
Arafat's phased plan of 1974 is still the unspoken but clear goal.

This is what they teach their kids.
This is why they didn't accept any peace plan that would end the conflict.
This is why they keep the refugee issue alive.
This is why they insist on Jerusalem when it was a slim under Muslim rule.

And this is why they want to keep their own people stateless and miserable - to keep the anger aimed at Israel rather than do anything constructive.
This is why there are "refugee camps" under PA and Hamas rule.

Real leaders care about their people. Palestinian leaders don't. Unless they are terrorists or related to terrorists.
This is the truth that everyone is too frightened to say out loud because no one wants to piss them off.
But the only way to move forward is with the truth.

And to stop treating them like spoiled children.
Because that is exactly how the world relates to Palestinians today.
When they are expected to act like adults, then maybe things can change. Coddling them and turning a blind eye to their behavior is the worst thing to do.
