Yet it was the Gaza Strip residents and other Palestinians that put the terrorist organization Hamas into power, just like they did with the PLO. So clearly they must want all this death and destruction, or they would not have voted to give Hamas the authority.

So what was the problem way before Hamas, and PLO ? Israel has it out for them no matter what. They would love to own all of that land eventually. Their greed runs deep.

Yeah it sucks to be slowly starved to death and deprived of any ways to economically sustain oneself. At least some of them are determined to go down swinging.

Legal ones are just fine by me. Illegals get the hell out. Those nerds extending their H1 visas should all be shot at the capital steps. That would send a message. Why I hate hockey anymore. Fights used to send a message now it's all play nice and BS. Same with pitching inside. You hit a home run you get a fastball in your ear next time up........not anymore. OK now I'm rambling...........lol

Try to find just one real Palestinian (Gaza) photo of them starving and post it. As to their economy (Gaza) it was nearly 100% Black Market based on them stealing products from Egypt and then selling them. Hamas took a 20% cut off the top. Any Agriculture they have left is from when the Jewish farms that were left after all the Jews left in 2005. But if you look at google maps you can see that most have turned brown even though the ones south of them in Egypt are green and the ones east of them in Israel are also green.

As to a previous poster who mentioned power. Hamas keeps on complaining about not having petrol for their power plant yet there are 10 electricity lines entering Gaza of which Hamas blew up two of them over the past week. On top of that Hamas members have built large lavish homes on the coast along with large lavish hotels and have diverted a high percentage of the electricity available to themselves. Thus cutting off direct power to the 135 drinking water sites, 3 treatment sites and 4 storm water pumping sites.

As to a previous poster who mentioned water shortage. Hamas has pulled the large diameter water pipes out of the ground to create rocket firing silos thus cutting off water supplies. Also they've nearly decimated the water aquifer sitting under themselves.

Nearly all the infrastructure Israel created between 1967 and 2005 has been damaged, destroyed or has a had a serious lack of proper maintenance. The UNRWA has set a budget of $80M to repair it all again, but most of their donations especially from Arab countries that were pledged has not shown up or has been directed to real refugees from the ongoing Syria War.
