npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) isn't Hamas the elected gov't in Gaza right now? I'd guess the Biden admin is reluctant to give them $$.
Fixing the whole Holy Land cluster that's been built over generations by multiple groups with conflicting and often counterproductive goals, usually unrelated or even opposed to the well-being of the people living there - seems impossible.
With the tendency for people who criticize Israel to be called antisemitic and people who criticize Hamas to be called Islamophobic, and people being sloppy with language... It's hard.
All the while Israelis & Palestinians are suffering and dying because they live there (I don't mean to downplay the complicated history of how they came to live there).
Honestly I feel like the actual solution will be a secular single state, probably renamed, with a Constitution as its foundation and a Truth & Reconciliation commission. I feel any continued partition will be a source of irritation and temptation and justification for violence.
