    Putting Israeli government genociding Palestinians aside (read: fuck Israeli govt for killing innocent people), that is a legit good question, why hasn’t Hamas improved the infrastructure of Gaza since 2007? Where did all that billions in aid money from the past thirty years go to?

      Israel keeps bombing it.

      Israel must approve all construction projects in Gaza. IDF soldiers routinely dismantle private roof-top solar to prevent Palestinians from being independent of Israeli electricity.

      Gaza has no airport, no docks to accept shipping, and all land borders are controlled by Israel or Egypt. And the whole point of the Egyptian crossing is to be a corridor for Palestinians to “self-cleanse” and flee the brutal conditions that Israel imposes.

      Hamas has never controlled Gaza.

        Please, proceed to alienate people instead of being patient and educating morons (me). Let’s see how that works out for you.
