3 repliesMaybe he should be asking why Hamas isn't paying to rebuild it with the billions they've already received.

You mean the hospitals that Hamas uses as command and control centers, weapons depots and utility tie-ins? It is sad.

The Hamas leadership's plan to hole up in hospitals was brilliant. Until it wasn't.

Why no one is paying Israel to rebuild the villages and towns in the south and north? Surly half of what Qatar, SA and others are "paying" should go to Israel, it's only fair

He should go to work for an American firm; he'd get a commendation and a raise for asking that question.
