The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Except....how exactly does a random impovershed Palestinian family living in a refugee camp in Syria do anything to end Iranian-funded terrorism in Gaza? Or even a Palestinian family in the West Bank? There isn't a functioning Palestinian state. There hasn't been an election in any Palestinian area since 2009, because leadership won't call one. Which means that ordinary people have no real mechanism for controlling or directing the activities of even the nominal Palestinian government authorities - let alone the non-state actors like the terror groups.

And why is that?
Where did the literal billions of dollars go and what do they have to show for it?

I'll answer:
-Hundreds of miles of tunnels
-Thousands of rockets
-A school system that Hitler would be proud of in terms of what it teaches

What didn't they build? Literally anything that would help a society grow.

That's on Hamas, on the UN and anyone else enabling this disaster. They're done. Wipe them out and call for new elections after careful discussion.
