    I totally agree that there is no need or justification for people being billionaires.
    My point is, that the people of Gaza and Palestinians as such would be more or less fine, if they weren’t being oppressed by their neighbor, both now during the war, but even since 1948

      Gaza was a part of Egypt and the west bank was a part of Jordan until 67. Israeli Arabs (not saying “Israeli Palestinians” as some of them don’t identify as such) were under martial law till the 60s, but still had many rights deprived from other Palestinians and even some minorities in western countries (for example, they had the right to vote).
