The plight of the Palestinian people is truly tragic. But their woes are not traced to Israel or the Jews. No - full culpability lays at the footstep of so-called Palestinian "leadership", which has consistently sacrified its own people for selfish political and financial gains.
This has been the case since the massive propaganda campaign that persuaded ordinary Palestiians not to return to their homes after the Six Day War. They were told Jews would burn them alive, rape their women, and torture and kill their children. The intent of this evil lie was to keep political leverage for the terrorist "leaders."
This was proven over and over again - most recently by the efforts to block a water treatment plant in Gaza. Gaza has no clean water. The Gaza population has relied on humaitarian support, and access to Israel. This is no different than the famous "Samaritan Crossing" on the border with Lebanon. For years, IDF border personnel permited pregnant women to enter Israel for their deliveries. However, as terrorists took advantage of any gap in security to commit atrocities in Israel, these crossing were shut down.
Such was the case in Gaza, where acts of terror delayed the completion of the sewage treatment plant. Even an article by the World Bank could not omit the role of terror in stopping this much needed project:
"For years, the Gaza population has endured an environmental disaster due to sewage pollution. Despite the extremely volatile environment, the long-awaited construction of the new North Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant is now complete and ready for operation. It will provide a long-term, sustainable wastewater management solution for over 400,000 Gazan citizens.
The project faced numerous challenges, including years of blockade, restrictions on the entry of critical materials and equipment, damages from war and conflict to existing infrastructure, and suspension of works due to hostilities."

The plant is an excellent example of the humanitarian efforts of many nations - opposed only by Hamas, the "leaders" of the very group that will benefit from the project. Hamas officials boycotted the opening ceremony for the new plant - demonstrating their utter disregard for the needs of the people they purport to represent.
The Israeli paper HAARETZ reported:
"The current plant, whose $75 million price tag was covered by Sweden, Belgium, France, the European Commission and the World Bank, is supposed to serve some 400,000 people. The Mideast Quartet (the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia) and the U.S. State Department liaised with the Israeli authorities so they would allow the necessary building materials and experts to enter Gaza. Without their assistance, the construction would likely have taken many more years."
