The EU, the US and AL should all provide aid to the Palestinian Authority. If the ordinary man and woman in the street see their lot in life improve, then the violence will begin to decrease.

OK, you got a chuckle out of me with the last bit. We've been pouring aid in for decades. It almost all ended up in numbered Swiss accounts. Well, except for the money they used to buy more guns and bombs, and that financed terrorism against Israel. We poured billions in, and it didn't do dick to help the average Palestinian. What makes you think it would now? Ever hear of throwing good money after bad?
I could get behind sending aid to Palestinians...provided that we actually invaded and bombed them into submission first. If we killed the right 15% of the population, peace would be possible. Until that 15% is dead, peace is NOT possible, it's just appeasement, which never works.
