Hmm, considering I grew up in Saudi Arabia, and have strong ties to the middle east, hate the arabs? Pull the other one!
What I do have though is a greater understanding of the history and politics of the area than you appear to have. It is not as black and white as you seem to believe. There are many shades of grey, with humanitarian action from both sides working towards peace in the midst of a warzone, with one side at least predominantly attacking non-civilian targets.
While Fatah embessled international aid, building it's leaders $1million mansions and leaving the people it was supposed to support to starve (much like the arab nations have done) in order to keep them repressed and use Israel as a scapegoat, it has been left to international charity organisations to get aid to them, including Israeli charities (one of which I had the honour to work with).
In 1948, for instance, it was Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq who invaded and attacked, Israel didn't attack them to start the conflict.
In 1967 Egypt was the agressor and paid the price.
