Israel was given the right to collect the tax money for a fee. Israel has no right to withold or deduct other debts from the money it collects.

When the PA has to beg for its own money, which is then given out as a monthly allowance that is witheld if the PA has been naughty, or only given part of it, seems to me like an unhealthy dependency on Israel.

Apartheid South Africa comes to mind of course. The Bantustans and SA, had the same relation as the PA and Israel.

Abbas is an idiot not to take the money that Israel is offering them, even if it was held back.

I think that is a fair deal, not an apartheidic.

Or the Transkei or Bhopptutswana etc to pay for Electricity?

Not everything bad that happens in the Jewish State can be labelled Apartheid LOL,

That also includes earthquake and typhoons- - they too Not examples of Apartheid

to receive the money that doesn't belong to Israel, and that Israel is fully obliged to give them. The money doesn't in any shape or form belong to Israel, nor has it any right to deduct anything for debts owed.

For Israel to do so would be like having an employee raiding the till for wages owed or anything else the employee feels is owed him. This would amount to theft.

Your use of SA as an analogy is faulty, as the electricity bill is not the issue, it's the economic and political dependency of the PA on Israel. If Israel collected the monies, but had no means to withold or deduct from them, there would be no Apartheid analogy to make.
