Palestinians who want to have an independent state, not dependent on welfare from other countries should think carefully about whether the continued existence of UNRWA is to their advantage. According to this article: " The Palestinians reject economic investment and possibility of self-reliance because it would require a negotiated settlement. Instead they demand welfare." "UNRWA, ... claims to support peace even as it is part of the Palestinian welfare system that supports rejectionism and encourages dependency." "[INRWA] has every incentive to enmesh itself deeper and deeper into Palestinian society and to become more of an obstacle to a negotiated settlement between Israel and the Palestinians. Why the West continues to pay for this, instead of turning the money over the Palestinian Authority with the demand that they step up to their responsibilities, is another problem." forbes/sites/realspin/2013/06/26/is-the-arab-israeli-conflict-really-about-economics/
