Poverty Indicators in Palestine - These policies included the issuing of a series of military orders that facilitated the confiscation of hundreds of thousands of dunums of Palestinian lands and control of Palestinian resources, particularly water resources. ​ These policies have ensured Israeli control over the consumer and production sectors of the Palestinian economy, making it a market for Israeli products and a source of cheap labor. In addition, a heavy tax system was imposed, which led to a decrease in the income of Palestinians. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311716246_Poverty_indicators_in_Palestine

    1. Dear Mr. Maayan:

      Knowledge and studies of poverty is also about science and technology, especially when poverty is related to water, which is the core intent of the Forum. It is about everyone's effort to contribute to the international scientific community and global knowledge.  So, please do not try to silent people.

      Respectfully,

      Prof. Hilmi S. Salem
