The Palestinians put themselves in this condition. They depended on Israel for all the good jobs. Then they restarted the Intifada. They are in a mess right now because their main industry is blowing themselves up and it is a losing industry. The people who put them in this position are the ones in the BBC article who promise to rebuild the kid's family's house and send them money.

Like all societies and nations everywhere, they will only move forward when they stop blaming others for their condition. Allah aside there is no good money in blaming Israel for everything. For a while the EU funded that but these days it's too transparent for them to keep doing so.
