This paper will be 8 pages double-spaced. It needs to be non-partisan and use two of Adam Smith’s books, The Wealth of Nations and His Theory of Moral Sentiments. Other books to use are How The West Grew Rich by Nathan Rosenberg and Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen. You should also find scholarly research that pertains as closely to this subject as you can. Leave whatever personal feelings you have toward Middle East Politics out of this. Write from the lens of what the Palestinian Government and People need to do differently. Not Israel, Egypt, etc. Use whatever sources I provide and others that you find. Topics to mention but not be limited to: 1. The terrible October 7th attack on Israel and Its Consequences
2. Democratically elected Hamas leadership, which prioritizes the goals of their Militia rather than the advancement of its citizens and their basic needs
3. Change the media and education to de-militarize the population and its youth.
4. Hamas stealing large sums of Humanitarian aid from it’s citizens to build tunnels, bombs, and buy weapons
5. The lack of collective goals toward peace among the people, which is super important to the cohesiveness of a population and its ability to grow economically
6. Peace Talks with Saudi Arabia and Israel to elect new leadership without corruption
7. Hamas destroyed Green houses and other infrastructure left by Israel after it pulled it’s citizens out of Palestinian territory that could’ve been used by the people
