"Gazans see exactly what Hamas chooses to do with the money and supplies that enter their home, and they're sick of it.
But Hamas goes a step further than just confiscating supplies, because like the mafia, Hamas forces businesses to cough up protection money.  The only threat, Hamas.

Hamas doesn't use these taxes to say, build infrastructure.
In fact, in an utterly bonkers interview,
Hamas even insisted that it's the international community, not the local government
that is responsible for Gazan civilians.
You see, Hamas is busy with other things like terrorism or funding their own extravagant lifestyles.
Hamas' political chief, Ismail Haniyeh.
He was born in Gaza while it was still occupied by Egypt.
Today, he lives in Qatar, though he owns multiple lavish properties
on the Gazan coast, and he's done very well for himself.
But his fortune looks like a pittance compared to his predecessors.
Khaled Mashal's net worth is estimated to be between 2 and $5 billion.
So, no, it's not surprising
that ordinary people in Gaza are sick of being exploited."

"The enclave's tiny Christian minority has found itself in Hamas' crosshairs too.
Hamas' Charter emphasizes they have no beef with Christianity as long as Christians don't fight them.
But in practice, Gazan Christians are disappearing.
Violence has haunted Gaza's only Christian bookstore.
Arson, pipe bombs, threats, beatings.
Somehow, Hamas authorities were never able to catch the perpetrators,
not even after they kidnapped, tortured, and murdered the bookstore's beloved proprietor, Rami Ayyad.
In 2007, Gaza was home to roughly 3,500 Christians.
Since then, more than 2/3 have fled."
