I was curious about the amount of aid that flows into "Palestine" from across the globe. What I learned was that well over $40 billion in aid has gone to "Palestine" between 1994-2020. It seems likely that aid didn't magically start in 1994, nor did it stop in 2020. So it seems reasonable to conclude that over $60 billion has been donated in total. .Much like BLM, if one looks at the results of that aid, one must wonder what it's been spent on. More importantly, how much of those billions are spend on funding Hamas terrorists. It seems like the aid spigot has been flowing for years to the tune of billions/trillions of dollars, and it seems reasonable to ask how that money has made life better. It also seems reasonable to ask if there are people or groups who've become millionaires/billionaires from this aid.
Maybe electing Hamas as the governing entity was a mistake. Maybe those suffering now are paying for that mistake.

Money has pretty much never gone to make life worth living for the people who pretend they're a palestinian people. Arafat was worth millions at least when he died, having complete control of all "aid" sent their way. The money sent there by the world has built nothing and if it would be cut off from this point forward, they'd likely all starve to their most deserved deaths.
Meanwhile, here at home, BLM scum are celebrating murder, rape and torture of Israelis, suggesting the people who moronically voted for Hamas to rule them are "oppressed" as opposed to what is the truth...victims of their own evil. BLM regards them as kinfolk to a certain degree, also perpetuating false narratives to portray themselves as innocent victims of oppression.
And of course, vile bitch Rashida Talib flies both an homosexual and a terrorist flag outside her US government office and no Stars and Stripes.
Art,
Well that's kind of the point, innit? In the case of those under Hamas, Fatah, and PLO rule they've had billions of dollars stolen from the individual people that have gone to lining the pockets of those in leadership, or to weapons to prolong this senseless war against Israel. Once again, it's the people who live in Gaza and The Golan who suffer because their leaders don't care about them.
What evidence do we have of any significant portion of the Gazan or Golan populace which opposes the destruction of Israel...who recognize their right to exist? Not much, I'd wager. A negligible minority liars of the left...such as Dan...can pretend validate his lie that only radicals seek Israel's destruction.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know. I'd argue that the convincing of this people group that they are horribly oppressed, that it's all because of the Jews, and that their only recourse is Jihad is a pretty impressive bit of brainwashing. I suspect that there are a few who would jump at the chance for Israeli citizenship and the opportunities that go with it, but that they'd be oppressed, persecuted, shunned, or killed if they said it out loud.
Of course, back in the days of the Mandate, most arabs opposed the creation of a Jewish state and fled the area in the belief they could return after the Jews were wiped out by the several nations about to try. This suggests no "brainwashing"...as the term is commonly understood...took place. Indeed, it suggests the Jew hatred was absolutely cultural being so distinctly taught by their "religion of peace". And as we know how rabid the opposition of Sunni and Shiite toward each other can be, that pales in comparison to their joint hatred of Jews and their combined intention to totally annihilate them. With that in mind, it's unsurprising to think that should any suggest Israel has a right to exist, that the islamic teachings regarding Jews being worthy of death simply because they're Jews...such people, should they exist...would keep it to themselves, especially if they live in Gaza.
Yes, pre '48 those Arabs who lived in the territory that was set aside for a Jewish state were told that if they left their homes until after the invasion and genocide, that they would be welcomed back and basically get to claim any Jewish property for themselves.
I'm not necessarily using brainwashing in some hyper technical sense, as much as using it as shorthand for convincing a large number of people to act in a certain way, whether it's in their best interests or not. Obviously in this case, the doctrine of Jihad is a major part of what's going on. One way this plays out is when you see mothers raising their young children to be Martyrs and in some cases allowing them to be used as homicide bombers. We also see this kind of indoctrination in many of the Madrassas in the region. Get the kids young, indoctrinate them daily, give them a mission and promise them rewards after death and it's not surprising we see what we've seen over the last few days.
While the Sunni/Shia divide is obviously an issue, I don't think it was as pronounced back then as it is now. In any case, it was superseded (as you note) by their hatred for the Jews and their desire to kill every Jew in Israel.
It's interesting that people who claim to be anti-racist and support BLM, also support organizations that have the stated goal of engaging in genocide against Jews. Of course, these folx who whine about oppression, simply stay silent when it comes to oppression in Muslim majority/Sharia compliant countries. They simply choose to ignore the reality that if they moved to one of those countries, and did what they do here, they'd be jailed, mutilated, or killed.
Of course, as I stated earlier, those BLM types are no different than the Hamas types, except as a matter of scale. They, and those who support them, feign victim status in order to garner sympathy and support of the stupid. And it's been working for the pallies since '48 and for BLM since their evil inception. In the meantime, of course, those who defend them ignore the oppressive tactics so often employed by those they defend, both that of the various islamic groups like Hamas, and of the BLM/antifa activists. And then, they dare insist there's an equivalency between them and those who must use force to defend against it. It's lying at its worst.
To be fair, the "palestinians" have been victimized by their alleged allies since '48. Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt could have easily absorbed the people who left Israel in '48 and they'd be assimilated by now. Instead that kept them in refugee camps, and used them as pawns. What their fellow Arabs have done to them seems at least as bad as what Israel has done (obviously excluding responding to direct attacks). In both cases, a relative few people have managed to make lots of $$$, while the ordinary people they claim they want to help have gotten nothing.
Absolutely true.
