I heard in a report today (on NPR) that 50% of the residents of Gaza live below the poverty line. Few things create a tinder box better than deprived people with nothing to lose. But maybe censoring Al Jezeera is the way to go?

I think the genocide is a bit more motivating and painful than the poverty line.

It is good to add to the discussion other metrics around the world, like in Argentina poverty is above 40% [1]. To be considered below the poverty line in Argentina a family of four should receive less than USD ~56 per month while an individual (not a family) is receiving less than USD ~41 per month.
