Palestinians won't be hurt by sanctions. They need to be politically isolated. Sanctions would only weaken Israel making the conflict even harder to resolve.
It is not that Israel gives as benefits, it is just the the Israeli intelligence and development are extremely necessary to have as an ally and Israel is not afraid of changing sides.
I remember how they started getting close to Putin and China while Obama was the president.

Either Israel takes full control of the land and places a police state in the West Bank to control terrorism or they keep the status quo which is not sustainable in the long run.
Meanwhile, Palestinians won't win this one. They can make the whole world hate Israel, but nobody wants to have Israel as an enemy at the same time the Israelis become more and more nationalistic.

Pero es que es verdad que el salario mínimo es muy alto y también los impuestos a las empresas.
Lo primero es una de las causas de nuestra inflación y lo segundo es empíricamente demostrable: ningún otro país en la OECD tiene impuestos a las sociedades tan alto como el nuestro; ni siquiera Chile.

That is not the purpose of the OECD. Colombia get's support from rich nations to improve security and development and since we are so alligned with the West, we are eligible, just like Chile or Mexico.

Reply to Lithuania should phase out Russian language teaching - president's adviser by Interrete
Ethnic cleansing or forced assimilation is never OK, but taking into account the way Russia uses ethnic Russians abroad to pull their strings, I think Lithuania is right.
In fact, the rest of the Baltics and Central Asians should follow suit. Any display of support for Russia should be banned in those countries at this moment with the threat of expulsion to Russia.
