It is good to add to the discussion other metrics around the world, like in Argentina poverty is above 40% [1]. To be considered below the poverty line in Argentina a family of four should receive less than USD ~56 per month while an individual (not a family) is receiving less than USD ~41 per month.

Argentina has had an enormous amount of instability in its recent history.

I think the genocide is a bit more motivating and painful than the poverty line.

A bit more data - at the start of the conflict, some 47% of the residents in Gaza were children (under 18). Hamas gained power in Gaza in 2005 and 2006.
Another way to put it, almost half of the residents were not even alive or babies when Hamas was put into power.

Young (males) with free time and in need of an outlet for their anger? We've seen that before. This most recent war will end eventually but it feels like many of the root problems will persist. It's only a matter of time before there's another flare up.
Is Al Jazeera allowed to talk about that?
It also make ya wonder what "suggestions" come down from the WH for our own media.
Few things create a tinder box better than deprived people with nothing to lose. But maybe censoring Al Jezeera is the way to go?
