Leading article: For Palestine, money is only a start
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One hopes the contrast works, for, as in Africa, aid alone will not bring about peace and prosperity for the Palestinians. That will need both a united Palestine determined on peace and an Israel ready to see a vibrant and strong Palestine as its neighbour. At the moment, neither of these two conditions is obvious, let alone certain. Money is a start, as a measure, if nothing else, of the outside world's good intentions, but it will take more than that to see a solution in the Middle East.
