All online articles seem to indicate it goes through Israel : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/20/israel-gaza-internet_n_2159407.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/20/israel-gaza-interne... But the problem for the internet in the Gaza strip is not Israel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamization_of_the_Gaza_Strip#Music_and_Internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamization_of_the_Gaza_Strip#... Now please keep in mind that "democratization" won't help. Over half of Gazans want this (and want to kill people who try to fix it - that seems to be what sharia ("the path of islam") demands). Democracy will make it worse. There seems to be a huge misconception here. On a large scale, and on average (NOT talking about any individuals here, just "average" human behavior), people who have been hurt don't want help. They don't want to help. They want to hurt others in the same way they were hurt. People who were beaten by their parents, on average, beat their children. People who come out of abusive homes in general, are abusive spouses. People who live in violence, become violent. This makes sense if you consider what algorithm the human mind must be running. One quickly arrives at the conclusion can only be an imitation algorithm (ie. what you do is copied from a past experience of what you saw someone else do), probably coupled with reinforcement learning and generalization mechanisms. This of course means something really, really bad for places like the Gaza strip. Left to their own devices, they will only sink deeper into their obsession, and become ever more abusive and restrictive until they literally start dying or at least completely stagnate. There is no way out that doesn't involve blowing up their state, and going against the wishes of the large majority of their population. Not, of course, the way Israel is doing that.
