But are people living near the Israeli border being offered every possible form of aid they could desire if they are willing to relocate? I somehow doubt it.

We don't know if they were being offered every possible form of aid they could desire if they are willing to relocate or not.

That's the biggest sticking point for me in terms of comparing a contemporary relocation effort with relocating in the 24th century; a number of the concerns that would apply in this day and age seem likely to be less valid in the future depicted in Trek.

Except we really don't know if those concerns applied in the 24th century or not. I guessing they still do seeing as planetary evacuations weren't treated as a minor thing seeing as its a whole freaking planet.
