Please, not fixing potholes have been around longer than the current Palestinian/Israeli and also a completely stupid reduction of the complexity of this whole fucked up situation.
They haven't been fixing potholes since 1949? Those potholes must be huge.
Yup, longer than the US has been sending aid to Israel, which actually started in the 1970s. Sorry for introducing facts into your ragefest.
Yeah, but the money that should be fixing potholes, and paying teachers, and providing healthcare has been going to war for as long as the USA has been around.
There's nothing complex about it. Israel imprisons an entire people and every time the UN tries to do something about it the US vetoes it.
The "it's complex" excuse is used to have people look the other way by turning it into a hopeless situation.
