    If you ever start thinking your life is miserable, think about people living in Gaza. It’s truly unfair that they have to live these lives…

    On one hand, they have to deal with Hamas - atrocious terrorists who turned Gaza into the one of the most impoverished regions in the world. They stole everything they could and even behave terribly towards the citizens.

    And on the other hand, they have IDF here which don’t care very much about their lives and caused quite a lot of damage, as well. Add to that Israel’s current right wing government and situation cannot be worse.

    Oh surely you think it cannot be worse? It still can. Pretty much no one from Gaza can leave to another country because no other country will accept Gazans. Maybe because for the last 18 years they have been indoctrinated into thinking that killing a Jewish is the most saint action you can do.

      Correction: Israel turned Gaza into one of the most impoverished regions in the world.

        No, it was Hamas. I know you would love to blame Israel for everything but this was mostly Hamas’s work.

              The blockade that put Gaza in this state started 3 months before Hamas was elected. From that point there’s not much a local government can do. Gaza simply doesn’t have the land or resources to live independent of the rest of the world.

                Gaza doesn’t have the resources? Throughout last 18 years, billions were put into Gaza and Israel even allowed it. Shared net worth of Hamas leaders is around 11 billion. They have the resources, they just use it for building bombs and tunnels. They could have built second Dubai with that money…

                The security measures by Israel are actually fully valid. Imagine your neighbor builds bombs they plan to shoot at you. Would you just chill and allow items from which your neighbor can build bombs go in?

                  Do you understand the meaning of a blockade? Money is meaningless if you can’t use it to buy things.

                  The security measures by Israel are actually fully valid.

                  Israel is explicitly and intentionally keeping the Gazan economy on the brink of collapse, by their own words. This is a humanitarian disaster before you even get into the specifics of how they’ve rejected peace over the years.

                    This theory falls apart immediately when you realize the money is being spent in Gaza on tunnels and on bombs. If truly everything was blocked as you say, they wouldn’t have the tunnels and the bombs.
