Economics in Gaza

Hamas steals food aid brought into Gaza to feed the people. The food is sold on the open market.

What does Hamas do with the money? Pays Hamas soldiers.

Where do people get money to buy food? From Hamas soldiers.

Food aid drives the economy in Gaza. True or false?

Parents encourage sons to serve as Hamas soldiers. They are one of the few sources of money.

The UN stopped distributing food in Gaza because “armed gangs” were taking the food. The reporters in Gaza called it armed gangs. Our “news organizations” verified nothing. It was Hamas taking the food. In the process, most of the UN workers killed in Gaza were probably killed by Hamas as trucks were hijacked.

Things are looking up. {{ LOL }}

{{ Those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere or eventually redeemed for an apartment in one of six to eight new “AI-powered, smart cities” to be built in Gaza. Each Palestinian who chooses to leave would be given a $5,000 cash payment and subsidies to cover four years of rent elsewhere, as well as a year of food. }}

Does this mean the Iranians will supply more missiles to launch into Israel as the rebuilding happens? Is that looking up?

Most Israelis do not live in Jerusalem. Claims need to be dropped by the Gazans. The fighting is still going on so why do anything at all?

Meanwhile, the “plans” are not being issued by anyone with veracity.

I guess “looking up” was sarcasm.

There are Palestinians who never were bigots. They are Israeli citizens.

The bigotry is the only reason for this war.

Western economies are collapsing.

It’s not just Israel’s economics.

China Russia and Iran are basketcases

A tidbit. Those who are well fed in Gaza have implied connections with Hamas the source of money and probably food.

To stop Hamas, the Woodward/Bernstein “follow the money” applies.

Track down the sellers in the market. Where do they get their food? What do they do with their money? Both paths probably lead to Hamas.

To disrupt the Hamas economy, shut down the markets. No money means their economy collapses. No money to pay Hamas soldiers.
