Hamas and Hezbollah are fighting for Gazans.
Go tell that to all the Fatah Muslims who were either thrown off tall buildings or simply killed leading up to their screwball elections.
Gaza could have been the Singapore of the Middle East. Israel moved out of Gaza completely, lock stock and barrel .
Additionally, as part of the Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Israel dismantled all 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four settlements in the West Bank.
Read about the war between Hamas & Fatah....Blame that on the Jews too, hey?
No elections.....wont let Gazans leave unless they pay tens of thousands of dollars to the Hamas hierarchy.
How come these hierarchy mobsters have billions of dollars?
And Hamas murder squads who killed Gazans who don't/didnt comply.

Sorry, my apologies, I missed that bit about struggle between Fatah and Hamas for power, that's true.
I've followed your first link, that article does not mention anything about why the rockets were being fired - how convenient.
Gaza could have been the Singapore of the ME, you are joking, right?
Yeah, Sharon was at great pains to take, what was it?.........7.5 - 8 thousands of Jewish settlers out of Gaza, BUT you failed to mention that immediately after that ugly and very forcefull removal of these settlers, Sharon started building large numbers of illegal settlements in the West Bank. For much much more than 8 thousands of new settlers.
Look, I know there had been some issues with Hamas within Gaza, struggle for power, in-fighting, corruption - some of which can be attributed to Israel - and so forth. But that does not change the fact that Hamas is fighting and
DYING - let us not forget about that - for the Gazans, and in the scheme of things, for all Palestinians including those in the WB and EJ although Hamas has no power over these two areas.
The stories of Hamas throwing people of tall buildings?
Where did you hear that?
About 8 years ago there was a few incidents like that in Mosul, Iraq. But that was not Hamas, these were ISIS throwing blindfolded and handcuffed young gay man off the roof of a buliding. Nothing to do with Hamas.
The story about them being billionaires....
Can you proove it?
Has anybody veryfied that?
You believe what Hasbara people are telling you?
Ismail Haniyeh, whose three sons got murdered by the Jews while travelling in a car around Gaza City 4-5 weeks ago, is said to be worth 4-5 billion USD.
BUT, can you prove that he is worth so much?
And does he he live in a mansion in Qatar?
The way I see it, these Hamas leaders, some of them, may well be rich, but I don't think this would run into the billions of USD.
One more thing, if Ismail Haniyeh is really worth 4-5 billion and lives in a mansion in Qatar, why would he left his three sons in Gaza all this time until 4 weeks ago?
Is it what most of billionaires would do?
Abandon their sons, and presumably, their sons' wifes or girlfriends as well?
It doesn't add up, imo.
At the end of the day, no matter how bad the Hamas's record until 7 October had been, there is no alternative for the people of Gaza - if it wasn't for Hamas, who else would do the fighting for them? There were some smaller organisations in Gaza but nothing like Hamas.
Many would say that Hamas, Hezbollah and, most of all, the Houthis deserve respect.
