You do not reward people in the hope they might behave appropriately. You reward people who share common values. Unless and until the Palestinians behave in a civilized way, aid only reinforces dysfunctional behavior.

This is the problem with the current administration. They’re treating the Palestinians as “equal partners in peace” and they have yet to shown that at all. The Palestinians are not equal partners. They’ve made no gestures towards peace. Israel has given land, money and resources to them, including the whole of Gaza and they continue to attack. They refuse to abide by the first provisions of any peace agreement, that is to stop the violence. Israel will continue to defend itself and weed out the terrorists living on their borders.
