No one did a war crime investigation when Israel repeatedly bombed hospitals in Gaza. At least Obama apologized which is way more than any republican would do.

If you want to know why Gaza hasn't been rebuilt, you need to ask who exactly is supposed to do the work and buy the materials? Presumably, Hamas being the strongest faction and nominally ruling government of Gaza, it would be on them to rebuild. The answer then IMO, is that Hamas is too busy rebuilding what really matters to them, their military capacity to continue to wage more attacks on Israel.

To be fair, Israel hasn't done much to help rebuild Gaza either, but I still must insist that the biggest burden of failure is on the leadership in Gaza who are seemingly far more successful in acquiring small arms, rockets and fighters than concrete and construction crews.

Even if viewed from that angle, Hamas' actions have only worsened their own situation. When they won the election in 2006, they were given the opportunity to accept Israel's conditions in return for aid and support. They refused. Were Israel's sanctions justified? Maybe, maybe not. But Gaza would most certainly be better off simply accepting them. The alternative is what we have now.

They already looted Gaza of all they could, and destroyed nearly 100% what was left, that's why they have nothing worth having except land, which Israel is continuing to steal.
You are completely insane if you believe that anyone in 'Palestine' has even hundreds of millions, much less billions. If they had billions to spend, they would have nuked Israel years ago, or at the least have better weapons than home made, unguided, completely ineffective rockets and stones, and would find a way to buy concrete, water, food, and medicine. Things you CAN'T get in 'Palestine'. If they even had millions, they would take them and leave (individuals, that is).
No one wants to live in Palestine as it stands.

Actually, if they had billions to spend, the international community would not ignore them as they do, because they want those billions. I'm not sure where you got that idea...Fox? Seems likely, it's just the right kind of dismissive, blame the victim insanity they love.

Why would Israel loot Gaza? Does Gaza have anything worth having? Other than billions stashed away at their leaders hovels?

Who owned it before it was inhabited?

Nobody.

It belongs to whomever can hold it...same as any country. The land doesn't have 'property of...' signs anywhere, does it? If the Israelis wanted Gaza, they could get it.

The palestinians seem to be an example of how not to do anything right, hence the destruction of their area. Their leaders just sock away foreign aid or fire rockets at Israel, which brings back the destruction 10 fold. They need to smarten up.

Thanks for the *promote

I expect it would be a waste of keystrokes to point out that Hamas, although often unhelpful to the peace process, is not the only party to the conflict.

Lately the media seems to have been obsessed over Daesh, although there have been two vids on Gaza posted here in the past 24 hrs.

Because the Israeli Prison masters will not allow concrete into Gaza.

“Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected to a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip.... So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award.” Total win.

What a surprise, the two Jewish panel members are anti-muslim.
Sam Harris pro-Israeli.
Bill Maher is racist. Pure and simple.
never heard him calling out Judaism for Israels genocide in Gaza.

I'll never watch his lame unfunny racist shit again.

I'm not a fan of Hamas at all.

If you were being extremely generous, you could argue that they have some extremist elements with some very unsavory views.

A more reasonable appraisal is that they are a pretty fucking awful organisation with a horrific humans rights record* who genuinely do want the jews annihilated.

But hey, do you know what will help the situation? Israel bombing schools! That will absolutely make the people of Gaza realise that israelis aren't bad guys at all. In no time at all, that will help foster a culture of understanding and harmony.

* And let's be honest here, the same is true for almost all Islamic states.
