Palestinians are victims of their leaders who decided to enrich themselves instead of fixing Gaza and to put the huge sums of cash sent from Europe and some Arab countries into weapons instead of creating a livable state. People have been refugees for three generations there. Where else in the world is there a second generation refugee?? Who chose to keep them this way? Israel? Who hasn’t been there since 2007?
This part doesn’t get talked about enough. Hamas was elected in 2006 (by a plurality, not a majority). After that, they cancelled future elections. They use violence against anyone who opposes them.
Their leaders don’t live in Gaza. They are billionaires living in Qatar. When aid comes in, some gets funneled off to the pockets of the leaders. Some gets put into weapons. And a few coins are tossed at the populace.
Anyone who claims to be pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas is against the Palestinian people. The Palestinians deserve the chance to vote in free and fair elections. They deserve their money back from Hamas’ leaders. Kick the leaders out of Qatar, drain their bank accounts (and anything else they have of value), give the money to the Palestinians.
If need be, find someone to administer it who will be put under a microscope (to make sure they don’t line their pockets or abuse their position) until the Palestinians can recreate their government and manage it themselves. (And, no, I have no suggestions here besides it being someone that the Palestinians trust but who is watched over by a third party.)
Hamas doesn’t see the Palestinian people as worthy of living decent lives. They see them as cannon fodder in their quest to destroy Israel/Jews.
(And, before anyone says “but Israel…”, I disagree with a lot of what Israel does also. This comment was focused on Hamas, though. It’s long enough with just that. Writing up the entire thing would be WAY too long!)
I am sad to say this (enrichment of the leaders on the Palestinians account) was true even before hamas.
Suah Arafat (Yassir Arafats wife, he was head of PLO) is a very prosperous woman. It took a couple of days between Arafats death and the announcement, because she had to have all his money transferred to her name. He didn’t personally earn anything in that scale.
Regarding elections - hamas used to literally run over fatah (its opposition) demonstrations with pickup trucks
Very very few people are pro hamas, they’re fascist religious zealots just like netanyahu. They are also one of the only groups bringing world attention to the apartheid state that is israel due to netanyahu helping prop them up and accelerating such dire situations in Gaza.
Fascists shake hands with fascists in private while commanding the people hate eachother in public to keep everyone distracted and desperate
