Is 'we' the US? I wasn't aware anyone was bankrolling the Palestinians.

It certainly would be interesting to know what would happen if Isreal's 
funding were stopped. They wouldn't be able to spend so much on defence and 
wall building (oh yes, and moat building of course).
But that's yet another matter we shouldn't be wasting our time on.
