Israel left Gaza in 2005 and it came under Palestinian control. The productive high tech greenhouses left by the previous Jewish occupants, were bought for the Palestinians by wealthy American Jews and Bill Gates. The greenhouses had supplied 75% of Israel's produce and employed thousands of Palestinians.
Did the Hamas save those jobs and build a civil society? No. The greenhouses were destroyed. "Honor" killings of women became rampant. Children were indoctrinated to hate Jews. They fought and killed each other in the streets until the Hamas dominated. Meanwhile Israel supplied water and electricity to Gaza, while the Hamas sent over 6500 rockets into Israel, and made bombs in school basements. Activity that apparently seems normal to the defenders of the Hamas.
The Jerusalem Post recently reported that “Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season Tuesday by passing a Shari’a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.”
To equate the actions of a democratic Israel to the barbarism of a terrorist organization necessitates a willing suspension of all logical thought. Or a hatred of Israel that mirrors that of the Hamas.
