For better or worse, we are living in a world that is going through a great consolidation of wealth and power. Israel is a major beneficiary of the fiscal consolidation that we see happening around the world. Currently, there are more multimillionaire households in Israel per capita than the United States, Britain, Canada, Sweden and even Denmark!
As a United States citizen, it saddens me that our country is heavily focused on equipping and supporting a foreign entity that has been known to violate international laws and break their own agreements with the Palestinians (Oslo Accords) (Illegal Settlements in Internationally Contested Land). There is a long legacy of broken promises on behalf of Israel. Their reputation in the international community is bad for a reason, it is indeed an apartheid state and has been since its inception in 1948.
As humans, I believe that we have a moral obligation to ensure that a basic level of quality of life can be enjoyed for ourselves. If we are fortunate enough to be blessed with an abundance of resources, then our obligation to ensure a basic level of quality of life can be attained for our neighbors as well.
We see this natural progression very clearly in America and other countries. When an individual grew up in an impoverished neighborhood and eventually becomes a celebrity, they invariably elect to give back to the community, supporting their neighborhood and hoping to help others achieve a basic level of quality of life that we all as humans are entitled to. The responsibility that we have as humans to help others has and always will be held by the individual or country that is doing better off in terms of resources, knowledge, experience or financial variables.
A change must happen for the betterment of humankind. It is not the Palestinians fault that they were subjected to a full-scale military invasion in 1948 followed by 70 years of humiliation and severely degrading living conditions. The Palestinians in Gaza are unable to travel by Land, Air or Sea, their basic human right of freedom of movement has been restricted. The living conditions are wretched as a result of many restrictions imposed by Israel. The United Nations has deemed Gaza uninhabitable due to poor drinking water and lack of electricity. Currently, the annual income per capita in Gaza is $1,826.
It's my understanding that anything is allowed by some, as mentioned previously in this thread – boundaries are drawn with the intention of breaking them - these boundaries are both physical and abstract ones. I am sure that the intention would be to go much further than simply crossing boundaries but to rewrite the entire playbook.
