A Future Investment Fund for the Palestinian People
(Fox News) Sander Gerber - For too long, the Palestinian Authority has sought to keep the Palestinian people poor and powerless - while enriching its apparatchiks and functionaries. Now is the time for the Gulf states to rescue the Palestinian people from their Palestinian Authority "prison" and help them thrive economically. To do so will require a new Gulf Cooperation Council relief organization that prioritizes the security and prosperity of the Palestinian people - not the enrichment of their corrupt and cancerous leadership. This new organization - let's call it the Future Investment Fund for the Palestinian People - would need to be independent, both of the corrupt Palestinian Authority cronyism that has exploited the Palestinian people and of the UN, which has retarded Palestinian progress. The investment fund would be chartered to provide vocational training, coupled with tolerance and comity with all neighbors, based upon a peaceful Islam.
