Such as what is happening to the Palestinian people.

Economic sanctions will only adversly affect the civilian population if the leaders of said country permit them to.
The leadership of a country can stop the behavior for which it is being sanctioned at any time. If the Palestinian people are being aversly affected by sanctions put on their leadership they should pressure the leadership to comply or change the leadership. That is the reason for the sanctions.
If their leaders would rather let their own people starve that is their choice. The behavior will change one way or the other.

Actually the Palestinian Gov could cut its military budget by half, feed its people, and show a good faith gesture to the world whitch would have to reply by ending sanctions. Self imposition comes to mind here..

You're right...maybe we should give them more money in aid?

"...There was no way to be certain that aid was being used as intended, he admitted. "Please write this: no one can give donors that assurance. Why? Because the system is in a state of total disrepair...."
You guys should sign them up as Liberals....they're better at it than most Americans!

No, we're not required to support anyone. Looks like a problem that, if ignored, will solve itself. I fail to see how THIS is a problem.

Palistinians are not starving and the U.S. is not sanctioning them. get your facts straight.
