The Palestinians, including Hamas, receive massive amounts of international aid from various countries. Large shipments of materials, including most significantly concrete, enters Gaza through Israel. The people are, by and large, impoverished and miserable.
Yet the authorities persist in rebuilding the tunnels under the border with Israel that were destroyed in Operation Protective Edge. The Palestinian civilians' houses are being tunneled under. They rightly fear that Israel will have no alternative but to bomb their places of living in order to destroy the tunnels when they are again used to facilitate murder of Israelis. Why is it that the Arabs can find nothing constructive to do?
When will the international community find equal time to condemn the Arab leaders that are the author of their peoples' misery.
Well it couldn't have bothered the Palestinian people that much when they had 100's of tunnels into Egypt and created a pretty massive Black Market economy. For the citizens of the Gaza strip who claim to be impoverished and miserable the photos and videos created by non-Hamas journalists show that to be pretty false for the most part. The only people who have issues are the ones who are known followers of Fatah who are an extreme minority. Many of the photos showing the Palestinian people as impoverished and miserable are stage tight shots. Try to find a photo of a starving Palestinian people. Now that Egypt has effectively cut off the Gazans from their Black Market economy, what does Hamas do? Raise taxes on everything. When the Palestinians voted for the Legislative council ~11 years ago, Hamas won 70% of the seats. This is the leadership they chose and this is the economy they chose. Their choice, their ramifications.
As to Israeli side, the Palestinian people can't be that worried as the latest tunnel found were 90 feet deep and most of it was under the open field that is the buffer zone between the homes and the tall metal fence.
It will become just like Africa, where no one cares about what happens there.
