But in the late Dervla Murphy's book about Gaza (if I'm remembering it accurately) she refers to tunnels being built to smuggle in goods, to circumvent the Israeli sanctions? She's pretty damning about Hamas, though.
Surely you don't think the mass murder of civilians that's going on is anything to do with defeating Hamas?
(The reason Al Jazeera is the only on-the-spot witness is the targeting of journalists; 173 killed by Israel according to Al-Jazeera, or 128 according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.)
In today's news, the UN says it could take 350 years to rebuild Gaza's economy.
No links for these because the Blickifier isn't working.
