A Willing Gift
Why do people appreciate a gift given willingly? Here is how some have experienced it? Do you have questions?https://www.tumblr.com/new/ask/jamespoeartistry

WIkipedia: "Israel (/ˈɪzri.əl, -reɪ-/; Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל Yisrāʾēl [jisʁaˈʔel]; Arabic: إِسْرَائِيل ʾIsrāʾīl), officially the State of Israel (מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל Medīnat Yisrāʾēl [mediˈnat jisʁaˈʔel]; دَوْلَة إِسْرَائِيل Dawlat Isrāʾīl [dawla ʔisraːʔiːl]), is a country in West Asia. It is bordered by Lebanon to the north, by Syria to the northeast, by Jordan to the east, by the Red Sea to the south, by Egypt to the southwest, by the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and by the Palestinian territories – the West Bank along the east and the Gaza Strip along the southwest. Tel Aviv is the economic and technological center of the country, while its seat of government is in its proclaimed capital of Jerusalem, although Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem is unrecognized internationally. With a population of nearly 10 million people, as of 2023, Israel is the only country where Jews constitute a majority of the population."

"Wikipedia is still not on the market.
November 29: An important update from Jimmy Wales: Please don't scroll past this 1-minute read. I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's Wednesday, November 29, and it will soon be too late to help us in our end-of-year fundraiser. I ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the past year and whether you're able to give $3 to the Wikimedia Foundation. If everyone reading this right now gave just $3, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours. Maybe you’re here because you value reliable information, free of ads and paywalls. Wikipedia's dedication to verifiable facts serves as a critical pillar of the internet, a sanctuary. We all need a place that we trust online, far from the questionable information that bombards us daily. If Wikipedia has given you $3 worth of knowledge this year, please give back. There are no small contributions: every edit counts, every donation counts. Thank you."
