Uninhabitable Gaza not because of global warming?

Doesn’t global warming cause everything?

“GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The United Nations' trade and development arm on Tuesday painted a bleak picture for the Palestinian-held and highly contested territory of Gaza, saying the strip could cease to be habitable within five years if the current economic and political climates persist.”



“According to the report, Gaza by 2020 will no longer have the economy and infrastructure needed to support the nearly 2 million residents there. The problem, officials say, is the constant warring between Palestinians and Israelis, which, over time, has seriously eroded the Gaza Strip's sustainability.”

Well, if the UN can’t blame climate change, it can blame da Jooz. And it does citing an “economic blockade” and “three military operations.”

A check of a map shows Israel is not the only country bordering Gaza, but Hamas has angered Egypt to the point of blockade from the south, as well as Israel’s forces north and in the Mediterranean Sea. Countries tend not to be friendly when other governments ambush soldiers and kill tourists, as Hamas has done.

Egypt had the place as the Gaza Strip for 19 years (1948-67), yet kept it in poverty. That was OK, though, because it was Muslims doing it to Muslims.

If you wanted more proof …

‘IDF shows detailed evidence of Hamas's rocket firings from schools’

"TEL AVIV - The Israeli military provided its most detailed assessment yet of the conduct and impact of the Gaza war, including photographs indicating that militants stored and fired rockets from schools and a breakdown of the toll inflicted on Hamas.



"Among the evidence laid out by a senior military officer were details of the ranges and number of rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, photographs showing how rocket launchers were hidden in graveyards and a school playground, and how tunnels were used to carry out and escape from the site of attacks."

Why this Gaza dustup is different

If Gaza were bigger, Hamas would not have to put its rocket firing positions and command/control in civilian areas. (With video.)

Hamas is a humanitarian organization.

By refusing to share missile defense with Hamas, Israel might be guilty of a war crime.

So, we have the stupid and the stupider.
