Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.
You literally repeated the comment I responded to. So let’s just pretend I copy and pasted my response to your response.
Lets then pretend I once again pointed out that Gaza has and has had the resources to build a vibrant prosperous future and this time you respond to it.
ok… quoting my original response.
“The numbers sound individually big, but per capita are very poor”
Per capital it’s like 6 times the amount of aid Western Europe received in the Marshall Plan.
Because it’s still relevant. Gaza is getting more than enough aid to build a future. They’re squandering it.
My response is still relevant. 5000 GDP is insufficient for a country that has no trade
It wouldn’t have zero trade of they invested it in their infrastructure instead of spending it all on attacking Israel.
Gaza for the last 20 years or so, has been totally embargoed from trade. All trade must be approved by Israel, they’re even restricting the amount of food that can go in, to the minimum caloric needs of the people.
They could have literally all the money on the planet, and it wouldn’t do them a lick of good, because they can’t trade, they can’t build infrastructure, they’re literally embargoed
They can trade, they just have to throw out the people stockpiling rockets for indiscriminate, offensive warfare actions.
Look at all the money they spent on tunnelling and digging up new water infrastructure. They could have spent that on improving the lives of it’s citizens and choose not to.
