One cannot build prosperity on charities. It takes freedom.

There is a tremendous cultural difference between modern Israel and the Palestinians kept in their misery. Israelis keep Palestinians from joining the civilized world. Freed from Israel’s oppression, Palestinians would become affluent and influential. Then, with money or force, they would take back the real estate that Israelis took from them.

Without settling the Palestinians' real estate claims first, Israel cannot afford to allow Palestinians to prosper.
