What? The Israelis haven't focused on attacking another country for 70 years and have built a first world nation. That's indisputable. The Palestinians have done absolutely nothing to improve their situation outside of war. That was more the point.
Besides, the majority of US aid to Isreal has always been military rather than economic, and I wonder why.....

Your knowledge of history is lacking. Given your arbitrary time window of 70 years, the State of Israel has focused on attacking other countries in spades.
1956 - Invading Egypt during the Suez Crisis.
1964 -1967 The Water War.
1966 - Regimental sized attacks into Jordan's West Bank.
1967 - Attacking Egypt, Syria and Jordan in the Six Day War and the State of Israel lying to the world about it until they were caught in the lie.
1967 - 1970 The Attrition War.
1968 - Operation Gift attacking and destroying 13 Lebanese airliners on the ground near Beirut.
1969 - The Cherbourg missile boat theft against France by the Israeli military of embargoed weapons - 5 missile boats.
1976 - Israeli military attack on Uganda to rescue hostages taken by Palestinian (PLFP) hijackers on an Air France airliner which had departed from Israel. Benyamin Netanyahu's older brother Yonatan was killed commanding this IDF Sayeret Matkal raid on Uganda.
1978 - Invasion of Lebanon.
1980 - Attacking the Osirak Nuclear Reactor in Iraq.
1982 - 2000 Invasion and occupation of Southern Lebanon.
2006 - Invasion of Lebanon.
2010 - Attacking a Turkish relief ship enroute to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza on the high seas.
2011 - the present Attacking Syria and Iranian Embassy in Syria and seizing more of the Golan heights in 2024.
2024 - Attacking Iran.
2025 - Allegedly using drones to attack a relief ship near Malta trying to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
These are just some of the military actions focused on foreign powers which the State of Israel has conducted against foreign powers over the last 70 years. It is clear that you are attempting to rewrite more history than you have read. Do better.
