Now a few facts for all people who blame Israel for arabs in Gaza eating dirt:
Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and other assets worth $500 million, say experts, and an annual military budget of as much as $350 million.
With that the best healthcare could provided for every Pali and his grandmom!

...Since coming to power in the Gaza Strip 17 years ago, Hamas has filled its coffers with hundreds of millions in international aid, overt and covert injections of cash from Iran and other ideological partners, as well as cryptocurrency, taxes, extortion and smuggling, according to current and former U.S. officials and regional experts....
....
Some of it is less than legal, according to experts. In addition to levying taxes on Gaza's businesses and residents, Hamas imposes unofficial fees on smuggled goods and other activity, for a combined income of up to $450 million per year. Hamas also has real estate and other investments around the globe, despite international restrictions, and uses cryptocurrency to mask some of its transactions.
Some of it may be fully illegal. A small portion of its budget seems to come from smuggling in South America, including drug smuggling.....
.....
Iran has been a consistent financial and military patron of Hamas since the 1990s, long before the group achieved control of Gaza. The funding has gradually increased, and is now at about $100 million annually, according to the State Department.....
....Qatari officials began carrying millions of dollars in cash in suitcases through Israel's Erez border crossing into Gaza, with the permission of the Israeli government.....Under the arrangement, between 2012 and 2021, Qatar provided $1.49 billion in financial aid to support projects for Palestinian civilians in Gaza, a Qatari official told NBC News.......What I said:
...."If only Hamas would have prioritized the Gazan population over its military and extremist ideology, Gaza would have been able to benefit from economic growth and prosperity," the official said.Who knows....an israeli occupation would be best for Gaza's people!
"In retrospect, it was a mistake to allow a terrorist organization to control the Gaza Strip. We intend to rectify that mistake now."
The end of a terror organization abusing its people and using them only for propaganda purposes (poor, poor people must be freed from horrible Jews to get healthcare!)
On the other hand, how stupid are the arabs in Gaza to cheer on and support for said terror organization...they know they mean absolutely nothing to them! Only a dead
Arab is a good arab....for Hamas!
