Peter,
Thank you for addressing all my many points one by one. It has occurred to me that Hamas and their followers have been poison to Gaza and it’s residents. Your assertion that their tore apart their infrastructure made me critical of some information I had read. So I found more, only part of which is offered to you in the OXFAM report. Take some time to read it.

It is a shame that the people of Gaza choose, for whatever reason to elect Hamas. I am not surprised that Hamas took to actively fighting Fatah or destroying things left behind by Israel. It’s deplorable and Hamas needs to be destroyed.

However, your evidence about greenhouses and suggestion of other acts of destruction processed with thanks; I do NOT believe that the Gazans destroyed 95% of their own industries. For example, the airport you assert was destroyed by Hamas was actually destroyed by Israel in 2001. Regardless, Israel maintains control of Gaza airspace under it’s agreement with Egypt in 2005.

To beat a dead horse, does the extend of our back and forth lead you to believe that this conflict and it’s 60 year history are easy to fully grasp and that plain-spoken JTP has done his best to wrap his intellect around it?
