So in order to "maintain" peace, israel should allow palestinians to build without permits and provide electricity free of charge on its citizens expenses? that's not peace, that's blackmail.
What racist assumptions? when i am speaking about palestinians, i am not talking about israeli arabs who pay their bills, i am speaking about the East jerusalem and West bank population that as a whole don't pay their bills for a few good years now. how the system work is that they paid the PA and the PA would transfer those funds to israel. at some point, the PA stopped paying israel and a lot of palestinians stopped paying the PA.
They get free electricity. that's not an assumption, that's a fact. their debt now stands at around 1.5BN NIS. (~USD420M)

And Descan, please, european funds found their way to the pockets of Abu-Mazen (That's partially why he was overthrown from Gaza), Khaled Mashaal and toward buying arms from Iran and North korea. there are more than enough documented cases where arms smugglers admitted the funds for their weapons delivered for terror operations were obtained from european donations (Government and other organizations). to suggest that just because the funds came from the belgian government means everything was done legally is a fantasy and show of ignorance of how governments and politician work. what do you imagine, that the politician at question actually asked for a building permit and plan? please.
How do you know whether many of them are simply unable to rather than outright unwilling to? Also, not going to get into the argument about european funds both because I don't have any knowledge to argue about it and because like greatorder said, this just isn't going to go anywhere.
Both. the PA has a problem with collecting bills and taxes from its citizens, Mostly because they simply know they can evade tax and bills payment unharmed (This is a pandemic in the PA), so because of that, they can't pay israel what they can't collect from their citizens. there are also many who have intentionally decided to stop paying the electric bill knowing it goes to israel. there are also those who would have wanted to pay, but simply can't, yes. But does it matter? when israelis can't pay for their electricity bills, the electric company shuts them off, no matter the reason for not paying.
As if we didn't already know that things are horribly imbalanced for non-Jewish over there.
Please, this chart is full of lies and partial truths and yes, it also full of truths that are natural occurrence and not a result of racism or "apartheid".
just one example out of many: Arab do own only 3% of the privately held land and can't own more. true. shame on us. what it doesn't mention though, is that jews own less than 1.5 of the privately held land and can't own more.
More? the social walfare thingie is a complete lie. the true numbers is that 52% of the social security funds go to arabs, despite them being 20% of the population and despite them paying less than 6% of the taxes.
So in order to "maintain" peace, israel should allow palestinians to build without permits and provide electricity free of charge on its citizens expenses? that's not peace, that's blackmail.
So in order to maintain peace palestine should tolerate israelis using the dark magic of the lizardmen to steal the brainwaves of palestinians without compensation? That's not peace, that's dark wizardry.
If this is going to be a "any speculation I pulled out my ass is evidence" conversation then I plan on living it to the fullest.
I bet you Burning Pet is secretly a lizzerd.
This is your answers? not only you directly assault me with racism accusations and insanity remarks, you also refuse to acknowledge when you are wrong due to pure ignorance?
