1. Gaza needs trade, not just aid.

What Gaza really needs:
A different leadership.
A different mentality.
A different mindset.
A different curriculum.

This will bring a different education, mentality, mindset & leadership.....and this will bring trust, trade, prosperity, normalization & maybe the will for peace.

When will the BS from all these international organizations finally stop?

The fate of the people from Gaza will only change when they decide they want it!

What Gaza really needs a different nation and to move, lock, stock, and barrel to say, Arabia.
3. Gaza Pals need to move

Every nation that supports these murdering terrorists should be required to share their land, fortunes and support instead of looking for solutions that don't work.
But, then, who wants Arab terrorists as neighbors?
No body.
4. World Bank logic turned on its head

Just where do they get these people from? What are they smoking?

Yes we all KNOW and rather stating the numbingly simplistic OBVIOUS that Gaza needs to develop trade..particularly inter West Bank-Gaza trade, rebuild its infrastructure, root out corruption....etc

So whats stopping it?

In one word HAMAS

So heres something JUST AS OBVIOUS

As long as Hamas want to perpetuate their self inflicted conflict and self declared aims to create a Palestine from the destruction of Israel, Gaza and Israel will remain in a state of war

Hardly the conditions to improve trade, the Gaza economy, the well being of Gaza, Palestinian unity, and any hope of full Palestinian statehood

So World Bank..before pontificating further put THAT in your pipes and smoke it.

Come out and say it LIKE IT IS

HAMAS HAS TO GO

Obviously a self supporting Gaza is better than one dependent upon aid. If you think an end to the Israeli/Egyptian blockade will cure all ills in Gaza you are a dreamer. Hamas is the poison there. Start with their removal, then work on reducing population growth. How could Gaza's economy hope to become any better than that of Egypt, Jordan, or Lebanon where free trade still leaves them with extreme poverty and unemployment? A free Gaza will look more like Yemen or Syria in no time at all.

This narrative is very well known in the Muslin world in the Christian World. It is very well known amongst many Jews.

The UN and secular liberal minded for the most part refuse to accept the narrative. They know the truth, sadly the liberal ignorance is to create their own history and teach the world a different story. Which has been accepted by the United Nations since long before 1948.

I have herd this story since childhood and never believed it. Because the Bible tells the true story which you have written.

One of the threats is the Ultra Haredim who deny the existence of Israel waiting for the Messiah. They deny the truth that GOD gave Israel to the Jews as we all know. The Ultra Haredim are waiting for the Messiah to give them the Land. They do not realize the Land has been given. The Temple is to be built and the Messiah will sit upon the Throne of Israel.

Because the Ultra Haredim refuse to accept GOD's truth - they live in poverty and in ignorance. When the Ultra haredim remove their black garments, remove their religious masks and believe in GOD. Poverty will be removed. Bondage of their soul will be set free.

GOD promised prosperity to Israel and Israel has prosperity. However GOD never promised the prosperity will be easy. GOD said they would have to toil the Land. The Ultra haredim refuse to work, refuse to enlist in the IDF. They chose to live in darkness.

The Messiah is coming the signs are written in the heavens. It is easy to see if one pays attention to world events. GOD is closing the gap. The war in Meggido is being prepared by the enemies of Israel.

I believe the Messiah will come on Rosh HaShanna what year and time no ones knows. GOD gives the season - not the day.

I believe this will happen when the war at Meggido happens. The Messiah will come.
