@thedisasterautist The Israeli goal seems to be eliminating Gaza as a place for Palestinians to live. I doubt Hamas is even there anymore.

@johnldeboer: Hamas leadership doesn’t live there and never has. Gazza would be a much better condition if they and before them Fatah and the PLO didn’t lob rockets into Israel willy-nilly. Or take watercraft onto the beaches and begins slaughtering people. Or pay young people to blow themselves up and marketplaces or elsewhere to, well, blow folks up. Or fire rockets from UN positions into Israel, from schools and department buildings into Israel, and like, just so that Israel will strike..,

@johnldeboer: … where the rockets came from. Hamas and its cohorts and the former governments of Gaza have done everything they could as well to make sure that Palestinians get killed and shit gets destroyed.

Hamas leadership is widely known to live in great luxury in the really posh parts of the Middle East. Where on earth did they get all their money? Iran and international foreign aid to Palestine. The parallels to Russian government corruption are quite striking.
