I don't think there's any what about is him as far as expecting Palestinians to hold Hamas responsible for taking proper care of the people who they are governing. They should be putting that first long before tunnels or bombs or Rockets or arms. From what I understand from time to time do you and folks are saying that Israel attempts to upgrade their systems, but then the equipment for those upgrades tends to disappear and show up in bombs and Rockets. Just like when the water was turned off, and then turn back on, it seems many of the pipes were used for more Rockets. And because of that a lot of the water couldn't be turned back on. Desalination solar power lots of equipment for that was put in Gaza for construction and then taken away. Just like the claims for the hospitals and the fuel needed, I saw footage of the UN and the ngos trying to give fuel for the hospital generators, but then them being told that Hamas would not allow them to accept the fuel. So there is a lot of what about in terms of all the things we keep getting told about the humanitarian supplies that are needed and the support supplies that should be given, but then we find out that most of the aid money is being sent elsewhere, lots of the money that could allow Gaza to be self-sufficient is being misused by their government and both in Qatar and in Gaza so what should be done? It seems to me any attempt at making Gaza economically viable has to come from disabling Hamas so that people can put in things like desalination for the total water needed as opposed to the roughly 40 50% that's currently there, to finish upgrading the grid so that they can have electricity all day over the entire area, and of course to ensure that they're not just using their cell phones but can also have really good satellite internet. All those things could be there if Hamas was not getting in between it. French intelligence saw all the fuel and all the water, and several huge warehouses that were holding food. Also several places were found in the tunnels were large amounts of food were being stored as well. It seems to me that any claim of a shortage it's not actually true. It is hamas's job first to use all the assistance they're giving to support people first but it seems they put their military first and billion dollar salaries before their leaders in Qatar. I'm sorry that this seems repetitive and long it probably is.
