Just another one of your rants, posted without having much regard to facts. Palestinian missions abroad are supported through the Palestinian National Fund, with enough money so that "$2 million/yr" would indeed by "pocket change".

I don't think Palestinians make much, if any net revenue.  They get over $1 billion/year from the US.  .....and probably other welfare payments from other countries.

That's okay. A few million dollars in tax dollars is peanuts compared with the billions we funnel into Israeli pockets every year.

Both Israelis and Palestinians get hand-outs from the US feds.  Per person, the get the same annual amount:  $370.  Since those stats are from 2013, the number is probably over $400 per each person now.  Of course, those amounts aren't given to each individual, instead they're given to the governments, which do what governments all over the world do with incoming money .....they put it in the top bananas' pockets.

What you "think" is irrelevant. There was no claim that the Palestinians fund their missions abroad through straight earnings. The PA got various sources of income, many of which are indeed donations, both government or private.

 

The USA funds related to the Palestinians are not given carte blanche. Relevant USA funds are not given without a clear designation of which project/aim is supported. I'm not aware of any such provision which funds the Palestinian mission in the USA. USA aid to Israel is nowadays almost entirely designated for expenditure buying from USA firms.
