or
In total, seven Universities have been commissioned in the West Bank since 1967. (pre 67 there was none)

obviously you motivation is in finding just how bad/evil israel is....thats easy, democracies are generally open to criticism, about policies, whether they did enough, or in the wrong areas etc.thats the nature of them, your accusation was simply wrong as per two simple examples above and my previous ones. Now your comment, like in the past ones when you were shown to be wrong, is something to the effect."thats all"....and some snide remark that its not good enough....but you were wrong


but these two comments of yours actually explains everything:
if you dont know why the Palestenians were attacking erez while they had jobs there, it shows a complete lack of knowledge of the culture, the motivations and the problems involved....

you second answer was funny, claiming that the suicide bombers etc were not part of their culture (whether its temporary or not was not the question.)
____

What we have here is what i call: colonial culturalism

since you have shown that you really dont understand the motivations or the Palestinian culture......how can you possibly suggest solutions?...are your solutions 100% based on your western ideal an values...something like western colonialism that states you know the answer and the local culture is irrelevant (you obviously havent even bothered to learn about it....)
