And what gives Israel the right to tax Palestinians and decide who gets
the money? God by any chance?

From the article:

"Since Hamas defeated Abbas's Fatah movement in parliamentary elections
last year, Israel has withheld nearly $500 million in Palestinian tax
revenues, money that would normally be used by the Palestinian Authority
to pay government workers.

The decision not to allocate funds for salaries angered Hamas, which
said the money should be distributed by the Palestinian finance ministry."

Anyone with any sense of decency can read the above lines and decide for
themselves if Israel is being fair or moral.

I doubt even the
strongest Israeli supporter will say they're doing the right thing.

It appears Israel is destined to destroy itself.
