The West won't lift crippling economic sanctions and Hamas refuses to moderate its violent anti-Israel ideology, even though its government is broke and unable to pay 165,000 employees. Life's a bitch.
They elected the thugs and now they are bitching that the West is doing what they clearly warned them they would do. No sympathy from me.

Why exactly is the West responsible for the bloated PA bureaucracy? After all, all these a$$ clowns do is plot to kill us and celebrate after each terrorst attack (remember the joy in the PA after 9/11?-- I do). If we had any cohones, we'd let 'em starve. Of course, I fully expect President Gee Whiz Resolve to cave any day now.

The Gaza Strip's population is only 1 million people. Considering that a good chunk of that are children and old folk, and we have over half of the working-age population of Gaza being government employees
What needs to happen is to let it collapse, and FORCE these people to create a private sector that actually MAKES something
