    They require military service to build roads and bridges. Many, many places do it also. Seems like a lot of people criticize only Israel for this, like it’s only a problem when it’s Jewish people having a military.

    You’re right, Gaza is not a failed state. It would have to have been a state to be a failed state. The correct terms for it are irredenta or unincorporated territory, a lawless shithole with stakeholders that don’t care ahout it (unless it is killing Jews). Literally the only concievable future for Gaza that isn’t a complete humanitarian catastrophe is going to look a lot like five to ten years of martial law. Gaza has zero capabilitynor capacity to rebuild itself and literally nobody else cares about it enough to do it for Gaza except the one country you would have a problem doing it. So your plan really is to condemn Gaza. If you wanted to save Gaza you’d be in Gaza pointing out who Hamas is and where they are hiding. See, even Gaza doesn’t care to save Gaza.

      Israel doesn’t care about Gazans either. If they did, they wouldn’t be bombing every hospital and refugee camp and preventing aid from coming in. Nor would they be preventing them from making a state and having self-rule at every opportunity. Gaza is already condemned when Israel decided to reduce it all to rubble and make public statements about reducing the population from millions to a few thousands. Hamas is just an excuse to raze and then take the land. Without Hamas, you get something like the government in the West Bank, which hasn’t done anything to prevent Israel from taking more land, imprisoning and killing more Palestinians, and failed at every opportunity to get them their own state or a good quality of life, either, because they have no power against the US and Israel. It’s the same state of affairs but slower. So no, Hamas isn’t the cause of Gaza people suffering, it’s Israel.

        The West Bank is slowly falling to Hamas and Iranian* corruption too. There are tunnels there now, Islamic State fighters, Islamic Jihad fighters, etc.,. etc. If Palestinians care about Palestinians, point them out and point out the tunnels, stop turning every public institution into instrumentalities of international terrorism, they’d still have their ports and hospitals, if not the direct consequences of their own actions. You think everyone is oblivious to the massive underground construction when they are busting out walls into the surgical wing to sink a new shaft? Please.
