A million people totally dependant on the government. Central control that even seeks to decide (literally) how & when people wipe their ass and with which hand. It's a centralizing control freak's dream ... especially if said centralizing control freak doesn't actually have to live there ... and they don't.

It’s a centralizing control freak’s dream … especially if said centralizing control freak doesn’t actually have to live there … and they don’t.

Gazans could have had jobs/money, but also more freedom. Of course, that would have meant quit trying to attack the Gush Katif folks, and what would the Gaza Palestinians done then? Seriously, how many millions have the Gazans spent on arms, bullets, bombs, guns, mortars? How much time did they spend on that vs. trying to make a civil society? And of course, they have had a quasi-civil war now that the Israelis are gone, rather than turn the swords into plowshares. And yet, they are still given millions. I try to feel sorry for them, but it's pretty damn hard. This place, Mawassi, and those who want Israel back and are not full of hatred...them I do feel sorrow for. They are pawns, but unfortunately, even if the majority of Mawassi is like that, the majority of Gaza is full of hatred towards Israel.
