The Quote of the Day
“The struggle is to be or to cease to be–this is an existential campaign.”
The above quotation was the outgrowth of a meeting this week between the heads of the land departments in Judea and Samaria in the face of continuing, unchecked illegal Palestinian construction funded by the European Union.
The group decided to fight the hostile takeover of Israeli land in Area C by:
*establishing a uniform front vis a vis the IDF and Civil Administration
*waging a political battle within the Israeli political system
*regularizing the land protection system among Yesha Council, Jordan Valley Council, Gush Etzion Council, Shomron Council, Kedumim Council, and Benjamin Council.
The importance of these steps cannot be overstated. Unless something is done, Area C will soon be overrun by Palestinian settlements.

Oh those poor Palestinians.
According to a World Bank report issued this week, the PLO’s economic situation “remains fragile due to high public spending and very low external financing.”
The Bank continued that “direct donor funding has dropped by 85% in the last 13 years, from $1.2 billion in 2008 (its all time high) to $184 million this year.” Apparently, the drop is mainly because of a decline in donations from the Gulf (read Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E, and Bahrain).
Oh those poor Palestinians.
What’s worse, according to the Bank, is that PLO “borrowing exceeded $2 billion in 2020 already reaching $2.5 billion as of August of this year.” The Bank says that the PLO “has reached the limit” of what it can borrow.
Oh those poor Palestinians.
If that is not bad enough, the World Bank’s “country director” for the “West Bank” and Gaza, Kanthan Shankar says that the job situation is “grim” being 16.9% in Areas A and B of Judea and Samaria, and 44.7% in Gaza where 59% of the population lives below the poverty line.
Oh those poor Palestinians.
Poor, poor, poor . . . supposedly . . . let’s parse the World Bank’s original statement:
The PLO’s economic situation “remains fragile due to high public spending and very low external financing.”
High public spending?
The Bank conveniently omits the millions of dollars in “salaries” that the PLO pays to terrorists in prison who murder Israelis and stipends it pays to the families of terrorists who were killed while perpetrating crimes against Israeli men, women, and children.
The Bank also conveniently omits the millions of dollars the PLO spends flying Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies around the world on junket after junket.
The Bank also conveniently omits the millions of dollars that the PLO leadership (and Hamas leadership) have secreted away overseas in Swiss bank accounts and numerous nefarious real estate transactions in Europe and South America which were revealed last month.
And what about the very low external financing?
Once again, we have an international entity that has fallen into the paternalistic trap which exacerbates the Palestinians’ infantilism.
According to the Bank, the Palestinians’ economic woes have nothing to do with their own lack of initiative over the years in building a functioning business infrastructure; instead, the Palestinians are primarily poor because foreign countries have failed to pony up enough money.
Oh those poor Palestinians.
