Cable Forum - Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

Absolutely right! About 20 years back, every Israeli was removed by Israel from the Strip. Sort of reverse ethnic cleansing.

They could have used that opportunity to build hotels, farms and factories. Instead they dug tunnels and fired rockets. During that time, they were living in poverty.

Trump spoke about making Gaza into a riviera. They could have done this themselves 2 decades ago.

Except for the fact that Israel imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since 2007, with the entry of goods only allowed for basic needs and humanitarian relief…

Was that before or after the rockets started shooting over towards Israel?

Israel immediately imposed a blockade when Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in 2007, so there was no opportunity to build hotels, farms, and factories…

.....In his often twisted way. So not really right.

@45rpm had it right. Hamas, instead of espousing war with Israel, could have seized the opportunity to build a peaceful and prosperous territory.

Nope. Nice fantasy but without substantial funds and reliable connections to the outside World like airports, they were on a hiding to nothing.

Have Hamas always been self funding then?

Didn't they have any friends anywhere nearby that would give them a helping hand and offer resources to get on with what they wanted to do?
