Gaza, for years has been described by the press as, "An Open Air Prison" or "the most dense population in the World (New York City is actually 6 X more dense). Frankly, it is amazing to me that those of us that live less than an hour away from Gaza, who have not been in Gaza since before 2005, had no idea what was happening there. We did not believe the "open air prison" since Israeli completely left Gaza in 2005, handing the Palestinian Arabs the keys and making 8000 Jews homeless. They had the opportunity to make Gaza the Singapore of the Eastern Mediterranean. Well, maybe they did and their public relations is just poor.
We, Israelis, know that Gazans have taken billions of dollars in foreign aid, built almost 500 miles of tunnels 1.5 times longer than the London Tube system, and have shot, even before October 7th, over 20,000 missiles at Israel communities outside of Gaza. Since they have the keys, its was not clear to us why there were any refugee camps left in Gaza. Modern Hospitals in Gaza number 35 before October 7th, with 3412 beds, for population of 2 million people, or one bed for every 586 people.
The video below is a recent news report, in Hebrew with English subtitles, on what we discovered in Gaza from their social media and "boots on the ground". In Israel, "suckers" are called "friers". Friers is not an enviable position and I guess we should have known more about our neighbors. We should have known that there were tunnels large enough for truck loads of merchandise, supplies, fuel, and weapons under the Egyptian border at Rafah. We are friers and learn our lessons very quickly. Hopefully the rest of the World will also see how they were duped and not be friers in the future.
