Ah, responding to the tone… got it.
Probably more because there is plenty of agreement between our stances and there is also plenty to weig. But as I said elsewhere, priorities matter and there are plenty of things to be said about Palestinians and the people that claim to help them, the list of countries and organisations that could have helped them for real is almost endless but includes the Palestinians themselves, especially in the form of Hamas, plo and the people that voted them into power.
