• No, Hamas is palestines only means of fighting their oppressors. The US has made military conflict impossible for Palestine to win, and so they resort to harming whichever Israeli they can find.

          They would not have to control it if there weren’t terrorists inside.

          In addition, how is it possible that whilst israel managed to build systems for desalination, Gaza managed to build a complete dependence on others?

          • You have that backwards, there would not be terrorists in Gaza if not for Israeli oppression. And that happened because Israel destroyed everything Gaza built.

              Really? Israel left gaza in 2006. They left there farms, etc. In addition, Gaza received billions in support and all they managed to do it stealing it and creating bombs which they shoot at Israel.

              • Israel has been laying siege to Gaza for 30 years. Claiming they left is wildly ignorant of reality. Israel limits the number of calories going in, to keep Gazans at near starvation levels. Israel has also prevented any public works from being made. They literally bombed every bakery in Gaza.

                  There were literally billions sent to Gaza in last 10 or so years and still it’s one of the most hostile places in the world. In addition, they had 70 years to form a state that can keep its citizens alive.

                  Today there is a war there, so logically both sides are doing atrocities that create a humanitarian crisis. One side takes hostages, other responds with limited water supply. This is unfortunately the truth when it comes to living during a war.

                  In addition, how would you expect participants in a war to be kind to each other?

                  • Billions sent in military aid to Israel, to be clear. Which they use in Gaza. What part of “oppressed by Israel” do you not understand? You may as well say the black people in the American south had 200 years to form a state to protect themselves.
