Just three comments: 1. The Palestinian Authority, run by Mahmoud Abbas in the 20th year of a 4 year term sans elections, has received unbelievable sums of money in aid - and, like Hamas in Gaza, spends none of it on the Palestinian Arabs themselves. There should be no villages like the one in which he grew up because all they had to do is rebuild them with some of that money, work on building an economy and other non-belligerent goals. 2. There should be freedom to leave but there is not and I am not even trying to imagine a nirvana PA with freedom of speech and press in this place that tortures dissidents, pays terrorists and their families salaries for murdering Jews, and teaches kids to hate 3. I am someone who had an Israeli Arab doctor for the youth village I once ran who I considered a real friend, but most Israelis are understandably wary of renting apartments etc. to Arabs because that has been proven to be a possible, credible danger to their lives. Look up Lod, Acco, the mixed cities where the local friendly Arabs attacked local Jews several years ago, and remember that they can also be blackmailed with threats to their own families as my Arab cleaner of many years confessed to me several decades ago, causing us to part ways.
