An interesting book for background is the late Dervla Murphy's A Month by the Sea - from 2013, lots of facts and figures about Hamas, Israeli occupation, etc.

"Out of Gaza" is the Israeli equivalent of Cromwell's "To Hell or to Connacht" when removing Irish people from the rich parts of Ireland and sending them to allocations of land one-tenth of the land they owned, and on very poor soil, while their land was given to English and Scottish Protestant farmers - and for much the same reason, an attempt to "plant" a neighbouring country with religiously-approved loyalists.

Meanwhile in Gaza, children are starving.
