“Just tell how it is the Jews’ fault if the Palis can’t organize a remotely civilized or productive entity. Israel withdrew completely from Gaza. The Palis turned everything economically valuable into garbage.”
Okay, I’ll tell you how. Israel removed its settlers from Gaza but Israel still controls Gaza’s airspace, territorial water, and land borders, except for its border with Egypt. Israel also controls Gaza’s telecommunications network, customs and tax revenues, not to mention Israel’s putting a blockade on imports.
“Gazans can’t turn on the lights, get tap water, buy enough food, or earn a living without Israel’s consent.” (quote from Joe Stork, Human Rights Watch).

That's to the benefit of the Gazans. As we have seen after HAMAS took charge, everything they tough turns into sh*t. They murdered Fatah men in the streets, looted and pillaged and let Gaza stew in sewage. Without Israel controlling the infrastructure, there would be no infrastructure in Gaza at all. Anyway why should Israel put at Hamas' disposal? So they can more easily finance the murder of Jews?
What that means is, Israel still controls Israel's borders.
Just for grins, what do the "Human Rights Watch" dudes have to say about the rockets that the Gazans are constantly shooting into Sderot?
