Who is the biggest source of income and jobs for Gaza and West Bank Palestinians. It is not Egypt, or Jordan, or Syria, or even West Bank and Gaza.

Intifada and other militancy has hurt the Palestinians as the major share of jobs and income for Palestinian come from Israel.

It is time to defeat the militancy and jihadism among Palestinians. Otherwise they will continue suffering economically.

You can find many research papers on this topic. Here is one reference.

Palestine - Israel Journal of Politics, Economics and Culture

…Labor surveys show a decline in employment associated with the Intifada and the imposition of tighter closure, both internal and external. Of the 21,700 jobs lost from 2000 to 2001 in the three governorates (plus the district of Tubas), the decline in construction accounted for almost 50 percent. Agriculture witnessed the second largest drop at 18 percent of the total.

It is reasonable to conclude that a considerable portion of the decline in jobs was from employment across the Green Line in Israel. This conclusion is based on the relatively heavy concentration of jobs lost in these border governorates - almost half of the people who became unemployed in the West Bank between 2000 and 2001 came from this region - a proportion greater than its population share. …

You don't take a dump in your own kitchen.

But sadly, Hamas and other militants have not learned this very basic rule.

Re: Who is the biggest source of income for Gaza and West Bank Palestinians.

once Palestine has its own army and security forces, Hamas and Fatah militant wings will go away.

and when you say source of income, go back in the history and read where state of israel came from?

you asking them to leave small rockets and ak47, but you calmly ignoring Israel aggression, tanks, missles, WMDs

Shak bro! Must we turn this thread to 100 others on this forum?

Read the subject line and comment on it please. Who is the biggest provider of jobs to "majority" of Palestinians. Army and police will not be the source of "majority" of jobs.

They dont have time to go to work when they are being bombarded by Israel. THey dont kiss the same hand that slaps them, like we do in the west.

FYI. West bank is not being bombed because they don't throw rockets on Israel.

While the whole world is condemning this brutality, we have a few brown nosers trying to make pathetic excuses for the massacre of innocent civilians.

Terror sympathizers accusing peace loving folks as brown nose is just fantastic. Carry on Mr.

The title of the thread is "Who is the biggest source of income for Palestinians". Care to answer the question?

11

Did you bother to read the article I posted? "Israel puts Gaza on the brink of Humanitarian catastrophe"

I rarely see you in the other threads. Why the bias?

What did you do today?
12

Only terror sympathizers are brown sahibhas like you.

13

Burqa, can you please upload something in your own voice… I just want to hear to see if you are saying something like this:

"Khamas(hamas) khill (kill) people khonestly (honestly)… "

14

Did you read the article that I posted? "Gaza will be destroyed due to rocket bazi"?

BTW it was posted BEFORE Israel retaliated and the current full scale war started.

15

For all those guppies who are buisy in opening threads against those whom they call “Islamists” or trying to prove Israel as the most “innocent” one

Re: Who is the biggest source of income for Gaza and West Bank Palestinians.

One of the objectives of this invasion of Gaza again, is to STEAL the most valuable resource the people of Palestine, or more specifically those living in Gaza have! That is natural gas, worth more than $4billion! The Israelis do not want a peaceful Palestine, they don’t want a productive Palestine, all they want is Palestinians to LEAVE their homes and emigrate. The reason they don’t attack the West Bank like they attack Gaza is because the sell-out Fatah party bow down to Israel.

Alright! More hot gas to divert the topic. Did you even read the article? It says Israel will give PA the royalty. It is upto PA to use the royalty for personal gain or for the common good. Israel should not be given the responsibility to watch where PA spends the royalty.

Well hot gas will continue to spew from certain quarters no matter what happens.

19

Jews will give Arabs who are not worth a Jewish fingernail royalty?

:rotfl:

Oh come on, why be so ignorant of the reality?! First of all, Israel has no right over the resources that rightly belong to Palestine. Secondly, even if they do say they will give "royalties", we very well know they will not hand it over to the ELECTED government, Hamas.. whatever little "royalty" they will give will be given to the power hungry puppet government Fatah.
