Right so logically either:
A) Economic isolation prevents Hamas from purchasing piping from the global market. Which lends credence to my point that they dig up infrastructure to create weapons.
Or B) Gaza is not economically isolated. This isn't true obviously.
I'll remember this argument next time you/others talk about how Gaza is cut off from global markets by Israel
I hope you and your family are well. I'm sorry that the most interesting thing you have to talk about is my comment on some meme.
Human ingenuity is a powerful force. Hamas has shown propaganda videos they filmed and published showing their production line using water pipes. Take a look and then I'll happily discuss further
I never meant to imply or state that the bombing has no impact, or even that it isn't the most significant impact. We should be able to acknowledge that war is terrible and harms innocent civilians while also acknowledging that the governing power of Gaza has taken steps to further endanger Palestinians living there.
Yes. It was an obvious mistake of historic proportions and one which I as well as many others interested in a lasting peace between an Israeli and Palestinian state have opposed.

Hamas produces the vast majority of its own Qassam rockets these days, said the researcher, given the difficulties of smuggling in larger rockets into the blockaded Gaza Strip. How the group manufactures the makeshift rockets is less known. In previous battles with Israel, Hamas was known to have fired rockets made of old water pipes, the researcher noted.
If the infrastructure wasn't intentionally sabotaged by Hamas there would be less suffering. Water infrastructure in Gaza has been suffering for years due to Hamas' actions. Bombing provoked by October 7th and the continued holding of hostages has exacerbated the problem but let's not pretend that municipal water "run" by a genocidal terrorist group was serving all innocent Palestinians with the water they needed prior to the war.

You mean the water system which has been cannibalized for years by Hamas to create mortars used to attack Israeli civilians?
