But isn’t that an argument for it getting worse? I know next to nothing about this from an academic standpoint, but it’s an obsession and sometimes untreated obsessions can spiral out of control.

The M.E. conflict analogy? I’d go for an obsession before that. I mean, Research made a statement “All they have to do is walk away and ignore the source of their discomfort, but they can’t. They escalate their pathologies all by themselves.” As to Israel, they supply food, water and fuel to the territories so neither side can simply “walk away.” The disgruntled fans, yea, if they get tired enough or distracted enough, or at least acknowledge the whole negative energy output.

Good stuff.

That said, the Palestinians receive more aid per capita than just about anyone on the planet and have for decades. Corruption is the reason for Palestinian poverty and dependence.

They have chosen to be dependent and they have chosen to be victims.

Again, there are Ferrari’s and Trabants. Not the same, but they work on the same principles.
