The aid groups and their donations are the safety net that the international community rolled out before the Oslo Accords and now spreads under Israel’s feet [....] Politically, it is easier for them to waste their taxpayers’ money on food packages, sewage systems, mobile housing and water-purification systems than to force Israel to meet its obligations and remove the cuffs by which it binds the Palestinian economy.


With the contributions come the overseas directors and staff of the international organizations. Not all of them arrive with a negative opinion of Israel at the outset. During their work, though, they discover that Israel does everything it can to perpetuate the situation.
