from the UN Commission on Trade and Development

I post it with no comment other than that like myself, I think a large majority of Americans knows nothing about a $254 billion issue.

Nice try but you can't also conveniently ignore international law and a number of US resolutions establishing Palestinian rights to their land AND their resources.

And you can't just take the resources under people's land from right under their noses, just like you can't take their land.

Oh wait...
