How do you suppose that the Palestinian Authority or other Muslim groups might respond to Israelis helping Arabs?

Have you ever seen newsreels of the POW exchange following the Korean War when North Koreans tore off their bandages and uniforms before running across the bridge at P’anmunjŏm to decry allied cruelty and depredations? Having witnessed the behavior of those who have adapted to highly authoritarian, tyranical societies, I can well imagine the BDS tearing down these facilities

Solar and wind technology delivers power and clean water to villagers in the West Bank

An Israeli-Palestinian NGO is using solar and wind energy to transform the lives of a marginalized community of Palestinian famers and shepherds. Comet-ME has helped develop small off-grid systems across 20 communities.

Those people are in such bad conditions because of Israeli government policies that deny then access to he water systems in Area C, and the refusal of the government to allow Palestinians to build any sort of residential or commercial buildings or infrastructure. Area C remains occupied and under 100% Israeli control despite the requirement to turn it over to the Palestinians decades ago. Israel continues to expand settlements in Area C illegally in attempts to make their occupation defacto permanent. The also demolish most of what ia left of Palestinian buildings n the Area.

So to suggest that the Palestinians should be so grateful to the Israeli's for what they provide in Area C is naive and ignores the reality on the ground. Even this article points out that the project was built by Israeli activists who oppose their governments policies. So if one is looking for examples of how Israel gives such great support to "ungrateful" Palestinians, Area C sure isn't it.

They will destroy it, then lie to any anti-Israel news that the Israelis destroyed it.

Since the company "employs and trains Palestinian engineers, project managers and technicians who in turn train local community members in diagnostics and maintenance" there is a chance the Palestinians will have sufficient buy-in to maintain the systems.

One hopes so at any rate, while recognizing that hope is in scant supply in the PA controlled areas.

The same way they react to everything else Israel does; calls for and working towards its destruction.
