Why is it that the wealthy Mid East Arab countries don't help the Palestinians develop the West Bank?

well some countries do help but not enough,and other countries are developing there own countries,and also Israeli army is always destroying roads buildings,house and everything else\nand you have countries that want to suck up to western countries government and put the blame on the Palestinians and do not care except for themselves

yeah right, like if the european people would had ever accepted the excistense of those very "friendly" neighboors such as the Jews. Israel existed only to fit in Palestine. Israel may had been offered all the american continent, but she wants the middle east, where she can control the 3 devine religions, and unleash its deadly conspiracies around the world. The so called promised land, back to thousands of years when Moises was still leading the jews, is so very pathetic, and the story of statut of Soulayman doesn't convince me.\nIsrael has entered an unfinished war in the region, and only 2 outcomes: the end of arabs and mulims ( highly improbable) , or the perish of Israel ( not too far ).\nSo I advise the american and europeans to reconsider their alliance with israel to avoid more terrorist acts.\nVictory is ours!   Hail Lebanon!

Saudi Arabia wouldn't invade because they don't want the Middle-East "crisis" to end.  They don't care about Palestinians anyway and every time there is some minor dust-up oil goes up by $10 a barrel, allowing them to buy another gold-plated Rolls Royce with enough left over to buy a bomb-belt for some dumbass suicide bomber.

For some reason we seem to think we need Isreal as an ally, i think we would make more allies if we supported the palestians, Israel is a country that was imposed by the UN. It has got to be embarrassing if you need the UN to start a country for you.

The US Government, for the most part, is ill-informed about the Mid-east. All we are proving is that we are the biggest kid on the block.\nBesides, war is always a money maker and an economey improver.

USA doesn't accept because Israel don't and they think that Ham mas will encourage Palestinian to resist the Israel occupation so they didn't accept it cause they ant them to stop fighting and to give their land to Israel.cause there is no Justice in this world

Everyone is the West is doing all they can to build a second Arab state in Palestine, for the still stateless Palestine Arabs.\n\nIts the Arabs who hate the idea. Because it would mean they would have to give up on their main goal -- destroying Israel.

It's bizarre since all arabs have the same language, culture and history.\n\nIt is also odd since Israel is smaller than the size of New Jersey and the arab states are huge.\n\nAdding to the confusion is that every arab country is totalitarian, and we really don't need more of those in this world (i.e. yet another place where women are subjugated, people's rights are trampled, etc).\n\nPresumably the madness will end when the USA is no longer dependent upon arab oil.  The likelihood is that no one will care and the arabs will all kill each other (as they did in centuries past).  In the meantime, the USA is somewhat dependent upon the Israelis not rocking the boat too much, and the Israelis do their best to comply with American directives.

Its all about money.\n\n As they run out of Money the people will start to change their views. \n\nNo other countries are helping them now because of money, even saudi arab has said no to them

Because Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle east.  It is very important that we have democratic allies in that dangerious region of the globe.

Yes, it's true, and let me tell you something else that may surprise you: they are not more beloved now.\nThe only reason that Arab and Muslim countries help the Palestinians with their wish to have Israel is that they don't want to have them as immigrants.\nIn fact, I've been told by an Egyptian guy once that they enjoy the Israeli- Palestinian conflict because they cannot decide whom they hate more. After one of the sides win, he said to me, the Arab world will finish the other side.\nMaybe he was just radical, but his words are still shocking me.

Why would you want to? Without Israel the Middle East would be more of a hellhole than it is now. Israel is the only country there with a free press, independent judiciary, and free, multi-party elections. It also produces more academic papers than any of its neigbours, who are undistinguished in every field except extracting oil (using Western technology) and protesting in the streets. One would have hoped that in the past fifty years its neighbours would have tried to learn a thing or two. 'Remove' Israel and there will be no more example of a successful state for all the loser countries in the region.

No, not at all. I live in Ireland and, just like the U.K, we are generally an anti-Bush country.\nHowever, despite this, absolutely NOBODY I know, know's what Israel and Palestine is about.\nI have read a book on Arab history and it is, to me, the most interesting piece of history and yet it is not featured in the schoolbooks.\nI don't know why, but our history book are very secluded and focuse solely on European history (+European explorations).\nIt is disgraceful that my people don't know about Arabian history and how the countries there were oppressed for many years.\nFor informtion on Israel go to http://www.wikipedia.com and search under Israel or Palestine- it is that simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In many of the countries they are not distributing the aid AT ALL.  In some they are and those economies tend to outperform the other ones over the long term.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change

absolutely.  for example, egypt.  they haven't had a native egyptian ruling them for millenia.  all because pharoah wouldn't let the isrealites go.

Because Isreal is a free State. The American government is working on ways to produce energy so that we no longer have to rely on middle eastern oil.
