I am not arguing for either side, but unless the Palestinians who want to build the economy are enabled to, having one third of their young men unemployed provides the terrorists with potential recruits. Israel retains security control and jurisdiction over planning and construction in close to 60 percent of the area of the West Bank (Area C), while the PA is responsible for the provision of services there. The PA’s ability to do so is severely impeded by Israel’s control over planning and construction: for example, the PA can provide a teacher, but not build a school for the teacher to teach in. In addition, as land is a common means of storing wealth and a powerful economic asset, providing a foundation for economic activity in sectors as varied as agriculture, industry, housing, and tourism, the lack of control over Area C has profound detrimental effects on the Palestinian economy (World Bank 2010). The present situation also severely handicaps Palestinian economic activity in the Jordan Valley, as most of the Jordan Valley is Area C, thereby denying Palestinians a potential powerhouse of export-oriented high value-added agriculture. All cargo must use a back-to-back loading system, where shipments are downloaded from Palestinian to Israeli trucks or vice versa: a procedure that adds significant cost and delays to the shipping process. Businesses in the West Bank are hurt by the growing list of “dual use” items that cannot be imported because the GoI views them as security threats, and it remains difficult for investors to get visas to enter and remain in the West Bank. Palestinian telecommunications companies are not allowed to cover 3G wireless services, which constrains the market for developing applications for mobile phones, one of the fastest growing fields in the IT industry. Other significant restrictions on growth include the inability to develop the Gaza Marine gas field. World Bank, March 21, 2012 And there's much more. So you can see that Israel's (understandable) need for security unfortunately hinders Palestinian entrepreneurs, foreign investment, and, thus, the creation of a real economy and the chance of peaceful co-existence.

And what makes you think that my response to the previous response didn't make it clear that I already understand that?

:) Excellent way to understand the philosophy of the various nations. TRADITIONAL ECONOMICS* You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and the economy grows. You retire on the income. *INDIAN ECONOMICS * You have two cows. You worship them. * PAKISTAN ECONOMICS* You don't have any cows. You claim that the Indian cows belong to you. You ask the US for financial aid, China for military aid, Britain for warplanes, Italy for machines, Germany for technology, France for submarines, Switzerland for loans, Russia for drugs and Japan for equipment. You buy the cows with all this and claim of exploitation by the world *AMERICAN ECONOMICS* You have two cows. You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You profess surprise when the cow drops dead. You put the blame on some nation with cows & naturally that nation will be a danger to mankind. You wage a war to save the world and grab the cows. *JAPANESE ECONOMICS* You have two cows. You re-design them so that they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create cute cartoon cow images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide. *CHINESE ECONOMICS * You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity and arrest anyone reporting the actual numbers. *RUSSIAN ECONOMICS* You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 17 cows. You give up counting and open another bottle of Vodka * FRENCH ECONOMICS * You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. *GERMAN ECONOMICS * You have two cows. You re-engineer them so that they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves. *BRITISH ECONOMICS * You have two cows. They are both mad. *ITALIAN ECONOMICS* You have two cows. You don't know where they are. You break for lunch. *SWISS ECONOMICS * You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
*GREEK ECONOMICS* You have 2 cows. They're both dead because you can't be bothered looking after them. You try to get new cows from those that have. Or am I calling it wrong????? ;)

Let me clear up your confusion then...I understand the current state of politics in that region. My response was directed at the other response which is why only the last line is mine.

I don't think that I am confused. Israelis clearly have a real economy, so "they" refers to the Palestinians, making your reply: "...and telling fairy tales like that is what [the Palestinians] do instead of creating a real economy." Which is simplistic.

I can only suppose that you were unclear about the specific response that I was responding to and indeed unclear about the entire thread. So to clear up your additional confusion...the entire thread is a parody via simplification of economics.
