The situation has no good answers, and Hamas committed murder, but this part is not the truth:
> Israel was out of Gaza for years prior to Oct 7
Israel has conducted military actions in Gaza, but more significantly, they've blockaded Gaza, turning into a ghetto, since the 2000s. They control the Gaza economy and much more. It's not like the Sinai Desert that Israel left decades ago and has no influence in.

- wolverine876 3y agoThanks. Not your job to provide them, but Wikipedia, especially about a white-hot topic, is not reliable in my book. I will keep an eye out. Still, if you want to persuade people of extraordinary claims, you'll of course need very strong evidence.
- prmph 3y agoThere are references for the HDI figures. You really think Wikipedia is cooking HDI figures?
