the basic reality is that contemporary global capitalism creates winners and losers and the gazans are amongst the biggest losers in the world. when you lose economically, it generates xenophobia and hatred towards the "other", which you blame for your own failures. in this case, it's the muslim failure to adjust to modernity that causes them to lash out at the jews for beating them at everything, over and over again.

that's clear enough, but decades of losing means that the hatred in the palestinian population is so deep that it's become cultural. they've repeatedly elected xenophobic groups that want to destroy the winners with bombs and guns and they've been repeatedly blown up in response, but they won't accept the simple empirical reality that they're losers and they've lost.

now, the world wants to give them "independence", as though that means something in the global economy. it doesn't. it's stupidity. but it's the stupidity of the insistence on independence that will force them to continue to lose, and they will continue to lash out at the world around them so long as they continue to lose.

kushner can build as many towers as he wants, but what he needs to do to stop the local population from blowing them up is give them jobs, first. what gaza needs more than anything else is jobs. and if they won't do that, or concede they can't, the only solution is to replace them.
