    Did I understand Gaza correctly that they elected Hamas but then Gaza hasn’t had an election since, like, 2006? But the government keeps on ticking, trying to build hospitals, schools, have a health department and so on? Sounds like they have really stand up public servants to be honest.

    But it’s irrelevant who the government is because Israel will never acknowledge any Palestinian state?

      Hamas are not building the civilian infrastructure. UNRWA is.

      Don’t say that Hamas are stand-up public servants.

        Eh, the people running their health services seem like pretty good people. There’s a difference between civil servants and the government. Even if people like Trump want to erase that distinction.

          UNRWA and some of the health workers were caught participating and aiding in the massacres, as well as housing hamas militants and equipment before and after.

            See, when you say housing Hamas militants I worry that it is injured personnel you are talking about.

            And when I try to find any sources I only run into a barrage of articles about what dire straits health care is in in Gaza. So you’re going to have to help me out here.
