I'll get to my criticisms now one by one because I have better things to do then sit and critique a video.
First, a picture is painted of pre-wall Gaza being economically rich and well off with a quality of life equal to that of Israel's.
Where did you get that from? The only thing he really says about it is that it was better before Hamas got in, and prices were lower before the blockade. Don't remember him ever comparing it to being like Israel.
But I do remember driving through Gaza city in a piece of shit rental Kia 2-door junker car with my red haired mother and my grandparents and getting the finger from random people on the street for no reason. WTF did I do to these people to deserve the finger?
oh the humanty!
These poor assholes were living a shitty lifestyle for the same reason IMO that poor black people on welfare in the inner city live shitty lifestyles. They've been on Israeli welfare their entire lives and have been brainwashed since being little children that all Jews are evil and the reason they have a shitty life, even though the Jews were the ones giving them the welfare and the electricity and jobs to the ones who actually worked for a living.
1. Break legs.
2. Hand out crutches.

Did you listen to the guy who say he used to work in Israel before the blockade, and that he doesn't hate Israelis just the Israeli government. The guy who got his house destroyed? How the fuck is that an unreasonable position? Wait, let me guess he's just a tiny minority and most Gazans are just mindless jew hating welfare lovers.
You know whats ironic, you generalizing about all Gazans being brainwashed and thinking all jews are evil
I really don't have a solution besides having Hamas listen to this guy and do what he suggested: Stop launching random rocket attacks at Israel. Stop blaming the Jews and white people for their problems.
100,000 out of 125,000 Gazans who used to work in Israel now don't since the blockade began. Though it was pure benevolence for Israelis to even
give jobs in the first place, so I guess thats okay.
Who gives a fuck about Israeli businesses who lost their workers, they'll probably be better off without them.
I'm guessing you're in favour of bombing trade tunnels and building anti tunnel walls.
You think they're going to less welfare dependent if all black market trade actually got shut down?
The 2/3rds of products on the market are now black market goods. Around 20-50 million dollars of trade per month goes through the tunnels.
Before the blockade a bag of cement went for 20 shekels, then it went to 180 when it first started being smuggled, now it goes for 60-90.
There's been $2,000,000,000 of damage in the 2009 war.
How the fuck do you expect people to rebuild their houses? That's not Hamas who've done that, its Israel restricting trade, for Hamas and innocent businessmen alike.
Hamas are responsible for the people they kill and the houses they destroy, and Israel is responsible for the people they kill and the houses they destroy and the blockade.
You think Hamas have any trouble getting cement or weapons? They're making tax revenue from smuggling, so what the fuck is it actually achieving except stopping people from getting work and raising the prices of things.
How exactly is it moral to use violence restrict peaceful businessman from voluntarily trading, for the actions of other people?
