How do you suppose that the Palestinian Authority or other Muslim groups might respond to Israelis helping Arabs?

Have you ever seen newsreels of the POW exchange following the Korean War when North Koreans tore off their bandages and uniforms before running across the bridge at P’anmunjŏm to decry allied cruelty and depredations? Having witnessed the behavior of those who have adapted to highly authoritarian, tyranical societies, I can well imagine the BDS tearing down these facilities

They will destroy it, then lie to any anti-Israel news that the Israelis destroyed it.

Those people are in such bad conditions because of Israeli government policies that deny then access to he water systems in Area C, and the refusal of the government to allow Palestinians to build any sort of residential or commercial buildings or infrastructure. Area C remains occupied and under 100% Israeli control despite the requirement to turn it over to the Palestinians decades ago. Israel continues to expand settlements in Area C illegally in attempts to make their occupation defacto permanent. The also demolish most of what ia left of Palestinian buildings n the Area.
So to suggest that the Palestinians should be so grateful to the Israeli's for what they provide in Area C is naive and ignores the reality on the ground. Even this article points out that the project was built by Israeli activists who oppose their governments policies. So if one is looking for examples of how Israel gives such great support to "ungrateful" Palestinians, Area C sure isn't it.

So, should we summarily paint the Israelis with the same brush that we paint their government? Actually, I tend to support that concept. Even though I didn't vote for anyone serving in Washington, I am still part of We the People and must accept responsibility for their misadventures. Maybe the Israelis have to suffer for their government as well even if they disagree with it and act on their own to mitigate any damage. Does that sound about right?

CPT Jack Durish - i may have misinterpreted the intent of your post, and if so I certainly apologize. I took your analogy about NK to mean that you felt that Palestinians should be happy that the Israeli government is treating them so well, and that they may destroy it "cut off their nose to spite their face" and that the Palestinians are ungrateful for what they receive from the Israelis. Again, if that wasn't the point of the post, my apologies.

LTC (Join to see) - There was not intent other than to raise the issue. Yes, I stoked the fire somewhat by referring to the manner in which the North Koreans behaved because even if the Israelis were faultless, I would expect the Muslim authorities to act in kind

The same way they react to everything else Israel does; calls for and working towards its destruction.
