This should grab you... should shake you... should wake you

The Palestinian Authority is accused of corruption by many but receives more humanitarian aid per capita from the international community than any other country in the world. The billions of dollars that are meant for schools, hospitals and infrastructure have been spent on luxury villas, casinos and payments to terrorists.

An eye-opening video wouldn't you say?

Huh, nobody wants to defend this? Imagine that…

There is no way that a civilized person can justify this type of expenditure while ignoring the humanitarian crisis in the rest of the world.
The question remains - why are some people more equal than others? Why is the situation in Gaza - the need to donate money to build a palace, etc. - more important than providing clean water to a village anywhere else in the world.

This kind of corruption happens everywhere. Am I justifying it? No. What is required is for the aid agencies to strictly monitor the projects to which the money is going. Corruption in the recipients is one aspect of the problem; laxity on the part of the agencies is the other part of the problem.

I've been saying this for years. How many good people in this world have we lost because the Palestinians and their supporters with their intense hatred of Israel command so much of the world's attention? The sheer selfishness of it all is breathtaking.

All they have to do is recognize Israel's right to exist and begin to build a functioning country for their people. They choose to live in hate, soaked in blood. Nothing good can come of that and they, and the world's poor, whom they effectively steal from, suffer.
