No, they had the money - right now most if it is sitting in Swiss bank accounts or going to fund terrorism - not the Palestinians.
Europe and the USA gave probably billions to the Palestinians in the dreamscape after the Oslo accords were signed, where did this money go?
Its the same with the rest of Arabia;
Yes the West has invested in other Arab countries; such as Saudia Arabia. But Saudia Arabia has not invested in itself --- its still state sponsorer of terrorism... how many leading universities has the oil money built? how about roads, infastructure, easing bureaucratic and economic restrictions, schools, water, roads??
Right now the West invests in oil, it does not invest in Arab countries, they have nothing to invest in. Once the Arabs invest in themselves (and they have TONS of money.. although most is in some private off-shore account) build themselves school, educated themselves, build roads, provide water, services, and infrastructure then they will start producing and trading, and people will invest in them.

as far as i know there is no war going on between the highly developed countries (which is the countries west invest in) such as Saudi arabia and the western world. |
Aside from that war on terrorism of course. Sure the Arabs don't fight within themselves openly very often, but this has I think actually been detrimental to their culture; more disent, more debate, more opposing views, had their been tolerance for this would perpetuate the Arabs closer to the rest of the third-world.

OK you don't get it, don't think when I say "investment" only money. Heres another analogy, you didn't seem to get the $1,000,000 schoo one. You've heard this one right? "Fish for a man, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish he'll eat for a lifetime".
Well right now the west has tried to teach the Arab's to fish. In fact the Arabs know how to fish. But they refuse to invest in themsleves; they won't fish!! Even if they know how, they won't fish. They need to invest in themselves first; have the will to eat, have the will to fish, before any real gains can come of this.
All you have so far, is a waste of a perfectly good overpriced learn how to fish consultant, teaching a people who don't want to know how to fish to fish. It won't happen, once the Arabs want to fish this can happen... this is what I mean; the Arabs must invest in themselves first. This is what the article of the Arab scholars refers to (read it if you haven't), this is the only way for Arabia to change and to be a stable part of the world.
Right now Arab mentality is that they don't want to fish, they don't want to learn, but they want you to fish for them for a lifetime... this can't happen, and this creates the instablity.
