Ideology trumps economy


The main issues are not economic -Yossi Alpher

[E]conomic prosperity is as good for Palestinians as it is for everyone else. But there is no positive and demonstrable cause-and-effect connection between prosperity and a reduction in the inclination to engage in terrorism: witness the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000 at a time of Palestinian economic prosperity.
