Reserve officer: Every luxury villa in Gaza has UNRWA equipment
* Many comments on the segment on Friday with the experiences of a reserve officer in Gaza. This morning, while reporting on UNRWA, here are a few more:
Speaking of UNRWA, there is an amazing phenomenon in Gaza.
You enter luxury homes. Luxury villas and apartments equipped with my equipment will not exist in 50 years, and yet you find use of UNRWA equipment in them. In the kitchen, bags of flour from UNRWA and in the children's room from the organization's school notebooks. It exists in every house in the Strip. In other words, *all* residents of the Gaza Strip used the organization every day, not necessarily because they had to, but because they got used to it. Getting close and relying on this organization has become a comfortable thing.
And by the way other things I learned.. for some reason I didn't write.
* When you are there you suddenly realize that it is a country for all intents and purposes. with the strength and power of a country. Infrastructure, money, space. This is not a city. It's a real country of 2 million people. A country that decided to invest a lot of resources as a country in terrorism and fighting. You can see the infrastructural state power in the eyes everywhere.
* The use of the term refugee is so cynical there. There are refugees there with luxury apartments (I saw the passports with my eyes) and understand there that this is a kind of use of a title emptied of its real content, like the title of Sir or Duke in Great Britain.
* The citizen on the edge learned to deal with the electricity problem in the Strip. The fact that a few hours of electricity are officially provided per day is not necessarily felt by everyone. The absolute majority of houses and shops have generators, batteries or solar panels on the houses. That is, the story of putting in the gasoline that activates the generator is the critical story and therefore the insistence on it.

Who says “aid” should only go to the needy!?!?! The wealthy deserve their “fair share” — because “equity” and stuff.
If George Carlin was still alive he could add this to his list of oxymorons: Gaza luxury villas.
UNRWA = United Nations Radical World Agenda
“ UNRWA = United Nations Radical World Agenda”
Thanks, I had no idea what that crap stood for.
