I enjoyed this article a lot, and I think this helps realize that blanket sanctions against Palestine are ineffective, and worst, destabilizing. Instead of promoting moderation, Western sanctions have choked away medical supplies, food, and salaries, basically making life unliveable for many in the region. Unfortunately, this has had the opposite effect on the extremism America was hoping to stiffle -- Fatah and Hamas have both shown a vigilence to militarize in an environment where they are fighting for scraps. It is unfortunate that in the politics of the Middle East, our actions are harming the average Palestinian and reenforcing the extremist beliefs we seek to defeat.
