An interesting report at CAMERA...
A graph correlating aid and homicides comparing aid one year to the number of homicides the following year:
...Infusions of foreign funds into the PA budget from late 2000 through 2002 correlated with increased violence. Only when Israel enforced a near total separation from the Palestinians in 2003-2004 did the level of terrorist killing decline significantly. But this was soon followed by increasing factional violence, which is consistent with the fact that money was still being made available to purchase weapons and pay the salaries of the expanding militias...

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

I read the link and still don't understand: "homicides" include what? Israeli terror victims? Israeli combat deaths? Palestinians killed in internal fighting? Palestinian honor killing victims?
The author seems to want to push the word "homicide" more than he wants to clarify his point.
there is a saying that this region is supposed to be the hinges of planet earth, meaning that war or peace will have an impact on the entire planet. this demands clear mindsets when addressing such sensitive issues...message is that the first temple was build under the name solomon, the last will be built under the same name...amen. praise be the God of all wonders...intelligence means nothing to HIM.
