I have little doubt the Palestinian Authority has corruption and is probably pretty bad at running their "country". But it is irrational to assume that Israel isn't partially responsible for this.
That's like claiming Russia is corrupt and the US is responsible for that...
You mean despite embargoes and economic sanctions put on them by Israel and walling them off from opportunities outside of their "ghetto"?
Got news for you. Eqypt and Jordan both have closed borders with the Palestinian territories because they too don't want the Palestinians doing shit in their countries either.

If you demonize people and make up a lie about them on the whole of course it is easy to justify treating them badly or just watching them live in squalid conditions.
WTF? Hamas is a self-proclaimed terrorist organization. The Palestinian Authority is 100% corrupt. The other smaller factions are as corrupt and terrorist as the big two are. Those are facts. The Palestinian's leaders are the ones creating the economic and social disaster that is occurring.
The Palestinians have been a political football among the Arab states since 1948. The Arab states are in part responsible for the state of the Palestinians. They were a useful tool to use against the Israelis.
Well, that's their problem. Sure as hell doesn't help that their leaders attempted coups against other Arab states like Jordan. I think both the other Arab states and Israel would rather see them disappear entirely. Of course, that isn't going to happen. It's like having Compton or East LA as your neighboring city. You don't want their criminal shit spilling over into your city...
