""It helps the economy and employs some of them.
A small bit of good.""

But you keep telling us they have no shortage of food because the kindly people bombing and strafing them supply all they want.

That small bit of good will be virtually unnoticeable outside of the few workers needed to harvest the dates and prepare the bars.

Either they need that income to enable them to support themselves or they do not.

If they do, then the rest of the population does too, so what good is being done for them?

And please don't say Israel is looking after them, because if that were the case it would apply to the group producing date bars too.

Either way, your claim that Gaza gets all the food it needs from Israel has more holes than a Gruyere cheese.
