Palestine gets plenty of support as well as private contributions in the past, combine that with their untapped oil reserves along the Gaza coast and they have enough to kickstart their country several times over.

The problem is in the past Yasser Arafat imbezzled a good amount of it into more personal ventures such a vacation houses as well as his wife and now Hamas has been putting it into propaganda filled text books and weapons. Now one can argue that they also need it for the constant repair costs to their utilities due to IDF bombardment but if they didn't put as well as announce such much as their intentions in the following would this be happening so often?

Also the discounted military supplies Israel recieves from the US comes at a cost considered they can be wavered due to obviously GM giving more priority to our own army, read this. The US Department of Defense may bend back for Israel but they don't go 180.
