yet Israel controls all the border, including Rafah gate through the proxy of Egypt. they control water and fuel supply etc.
the small block of land they're allowed by Israel even has restrictions of fertiliser for agriculture, limiting what and how much food they can grow.
yes Gaza is governed by Hamas, the elected Gov. but why do Gazans vote for Hamas? they have pretty low %age of support (circa 31% according to one pollster I saw last night). they seem to be a party of last resort.
yet its Israel that keeps them imprisoned and impoverished.
