Backing up the argument: The Palestinian Authority has received, proportionally, more international aid than any other country/national group. People in countries such as Ethiopia, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Syria are much poorer than the Palestinians, in terms of income per person, yet receive less or no international financial aid. Significant portions of the aid that was provided to feed, house and employ Palestinians were in fact siphoned off by Yasser Arafat and other PA officials. Yasser Arafat’s personal fortune was estimated by Forbes magazine to be at least $300 million. There is no reason why refugee camps should continue to exist within the PA. With $4 billion, the PA could have solved the refugee problem and built at least one house for each refugee family. Israel provides much aid to the Palestinians in the form of services, such as electricity. This help often goes unnoticed by the international community. The problems facing the Palestinians and the PA economy are not due to a lack of funding or international concern. The Palestinians received and continue to receive the largest amount of foreign aid of any group in the world. Their economic problems are a direct result of the corruption and the lack of accountability of the PA, and the use of donated funds for terrorism and other purposes not intended by the donors.
