Israel’s economic development has been remarkable, and much of it has been
driven by the ingenuity of its citizens — but it helps when American
aid reaches

.

It helps too when you have full control over your borders, airspace, roads,
water, schools, and electricity. When you don’t have to worry about
well-armed, hostile colonists routinely setting fire to your olive trees

When you can go fishing without being shot, threatened, or humiliated

national navy. When you can drink clean water, or plant in clean soil

When your imports and exports are not subject to the arbitrary restrictions

government whose ministers openly support your mass expulsion
