You know very well Israel is financially able, these wars would drain any country dry, look at other countries in the Mideast, compare, find one that has done so well.

Answer 3

Before Gaza will, you can bet on that.

Answer 4

Considering Israel is having a job boom, it seems it is doing alright

Answer 5

Why would it do that when the American tax payer is content to sit back and pour their hard earned taxes in to Israeli coffers?Americans are being mugged.

Answer 6

One thing is certain - it will be long before the Palestians can.  Right now its resources are wasted in fighting endless wars with people who prefer chaos over peace.  It is a really sad situation.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 12

When?

Any time :-)

Seems like you have already asked this question and I have already answered it, so let me answer it again: "aid" given to Israel is somewhere around 2% of Israel's GDP.

Do you *really* think Israel wouldn't survive without it?

Answer 13

Already does.

When will Palestinians accept a state in Gaza and the West Bank and start supporting themselves?

Answer 14

it will not .

Answer 15

never believe me

Answer 16

it is already, not an answer you want to hear.it gets aid for security reasons, not to boost the economy.the palestinians also get aid, and look whats happening to their economy...The country's fortunes contrast sharply with the economic turmoil engulfing the Palestinian territories.

According to the World Bank, the Israeli per capita GDP is more than 20 times that of the Palestinians.

Two-thirds of Palestinian people are thought to be living in poverty, although some say the figure could be even higher.

Since the election of Hamas in 2006, private investment in the region has all but dried up.

The country's economy grew more than five percent last year -- faster than the U.S., Europe, UK and Japan.

While the Bank of Israel expects the country's fortunes to dip next year, along with the world economy, growth is still expected to exceed four percent. Not bad, given that the U.S., one of its biggest trading partners, is staring down the barrel of potential recession.

"The Israeli economy has managed to develop a kind of isolation from the political instability

on hi-tech, pharmaceutical industries, and chemicals, and I think these are the things that are less conditioned by the political situation."Israel says it spends a greater percentage of its GDP on hi-tech research and development than any other country.

According to the Israel Venture Capital Research Center, 3,361 hi-tech companies are operating in Israel. And they're attracting foreign interest and dollars. In the first three quarters of 2007, they raised more than $1.2 billion dollars in funding, 10 percent more than the same period the previous year.

israel will be better off once there is peace,the direct benefits of a peace agreement would be immense, both for the Israelis and the Palestinians
