You know, almost all of our philanthropic work has been in that capacity. So that's sort of my natural perspective. But I don't take the side of terrorists ever, obviously. And, you know, the whole thing is just a tragedy. So to you, this is about Hamas, not about Palestine. Yes.

I mean, you know, the problem, of course, is when Hamas controls, you know, for the last almost 20 years has controlled Gaza, you know, including the education system. They're educating, you know, you see these, you know, training videos of kindergartners indoctrinating them into hating Hamas. Jews and Israel.

So it's, of course, you don't like to see Palestinians celebrating, you know, some of those early videos of October 7th with, you know, dead bodies in the back of trucks and people, you know, cheering. So it's a really unfortunate situation. But I, you know, I think about, you know, a Palestinian life is important and as valuable as a Jewish life, as a American life.

And what do people really want? They want a place. They want a home. They want to be able to feed their family. They want a job that generates the resources to feed their family. They want their kids to have a better life than they've had. They want peace. I think these are basic human things. I'm sure the vast majority of Palestinians share these views.

But it's such an embedded situation with hatred and, as I say, indoctrination. And then, you know, going back to incentives, you know, terrorists generate their resources by committing terrorism.

The top of the terrorist pyramid, you know, if you accept the numbers that are in the press, right? You know, the top leaders, you know, have billions of dollars, you know, 40 billion or so has gone into Gaza over the last and the West Bank over the last 30 years, a number like that. And a lot of it's disappeared into some combination of corruption or tunnels or weapons.
