Absolutely. Foreign aid perpetuates the problem.

The vast sums of foreign aid from the U.S. will never erase the human condition; volitional responsibility, and consequence, and evolution of society on behalf of foreign governments, leadership, as well as the people themselves is all too often brought to a screetching halt when they are "helped" by U.S. funds.

The Palestinian Authority is a good case in point.

Have you read Dr. Pipes' article, "Fund the Palestinians? Bad Idea" -
