@mattyglesias Do they have a plan for how to go from A to B and what changes would need to happen, even aside from the revenue required?

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@Jackiew80333500 Whatever you think of Israel, Hamas are a curse for Palestinians in Gaza.

"Last week... with torrential rain forecast, gunmen from Hamas’s internal security units summoned Palestinian civil servants who were trying to make the refugee camps safer from rain and forced them to sign pledges not to enter those areas."

@PulaRJS Rivkah the Jew cheered on October 7 as it was happening. As did Zack Polanski deputy. No one listening to these vile people.

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@ZackPolanski Rivkah cheered on October 7 *as the rape and torture and murder and hostage-taking was happening*. Same as your deputy did. Both vile. None of you have the right to talk about this. And you’re a vile opportunist.

@jeremycorbyn Did I hear you condemn Hamas??

🚨URGENT: As the first winter storm hit Gaza, flooding displaced families’ tents and deepening their suffering, a report from Gaza alleged that Hamas militias had obstructed a project to provide more durable shelters.

The Palestinian Authority launched the project through its Ministry of Public Works, in partnership with UNDP, to establish camps using durable fiberglass tents. According to the report, just one day before the rain, Hamas arrested the ministry’s engineers and crews, forced them to sign pledges not to work anywhere in Gaza except through Hamas, and confiscated the tents—described in the report as the best to have entered Gaza.

Instead of facilitating the work of those trying to help devastated families in Gaza endure unimaginable conditions, Hamas is deepening their suffering by insisting that all relief efforts must go through them so it can serve its own interests and profit from the suffering of Palestinians.

Hamas must be held accountable for its crimes against Palestinians.

@kkalev @Alonso_GD Hamas are the cause of Palestinian suffering in Gaza.

@kkalev @Alonso_GD There wasn’t a famine. Hamas brutalizes their own population and prioritized war with Israel over building a proto state in Gaza. Israel left Gaza in 2005. Hamas has been a disaster for Palestinians. All this is reality.

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD Again. It wasn’t a famine.

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD It’s amazing how many obligations Israel has while Hamas has none. Israel threatens to withhold aid which was bad because they were not going to through with it (as Hamas knew) it was just terrible PR. And “famine conditions” is a backhand way of saying “there was no famine”

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD Screening trucks, choosing routes and blocking genuinely dual-use items are lawful. What evidence do you have that more is going on?

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD Because Hamas built a vast tunnel system underneath Gaza and from it launched an invasion of Israel on October 7. Hamas are a cancer on Palestinians in Gaza who want a better life.

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD What about Hamas obligations?

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD That’s not the full truth. There are mixed use goods that Hamas for years has repurposed for war. Like concrete. Like water pipes. Not acknowledging this makes getting out of the whole terrible situation harder.

[Gavin Simms @GavinSimms2]

@kkalev @Alonso_GD Worth acknowledging Hamas awful role in this disaster.

REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents.

Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza have reported that professionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse.

Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam Aboul-Nasr, Dr. Adnan Hamouda, and Ahmed Abu Zaiter, have publicly stated that efforts to build more durable fiberglass housing and improve conditions for displaced civilians were blocked.

Another example was a proposal that was put forward to demolish several heavily damaged towers which were at risk of collapse from rainwater after extensive bombardment. According to those involved, Hamas blocked the removal of the “Bank of Palestine Tower” in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood, reportedly arguing that it would "collapse from the rain anyway." The terrorist group did not show any concern for the civilian lives that would be lost when the tower eventually collapses on its own, because it wants dead Palestinians and news of tragedy to keep Gaza in the news cycle and to gain global sympathy, hoping for more incoming resources and donations for the Strip’s humanitarian and reconstruction needs that it could siphon.

Additionally, Hamas has also been accused of obstructing construction projects intended to create safer communities for displaced Gazans in southern Gaza, prioritizing political control over humanitarian relief.

This is a reminder that Gaza's suffering is not only a consequence of war. It is also the result of a fascist and ruthless governing power that repeatedly places its own interests above the welfare of the people it claims to represent. The same terror group that helped bring catastrophe upon Gaza continues to obstruct efforts to mitigate its consequences.

As floodwaters sweep through displacement camps and families endure another winter in misery, the question is unavoidable: how many Palestinian lives could have been spared had Hamas allowed humanitarian, housing, and reconstruction efforts to proceed unimpeded?

@ryangrim You’ll do anything rather than demand Hamas stop playing soldiers and start looking after their own people.

@rohantalbot Hamas steals it to build weapons. Tragic. Why not demand they disarm and leave Palestinians to have a better life?
