So? Did you expect Hamas to try to keep delivering water and electricity to all Palestinians in the context of 75 years of aggressiv, humiliation and violence meted out by the IDF? Soldiers breaking into Palestinians homes at midnight( not through the door, but by blasting a hole on the wall by the way), grabbing the men and boys and detaining them in Palestinian prisons without any Evidence of wrongdoing? Torturing them to subject them and humiliate them. For no reason other than to exert their power, to try to intimidate. And the IDF raiding Palestinians crops of olive trees. Trees that are their livelihood, that feel like their children. Saying cut these down yourself or we will cut them down. And. Illegal Isreali settlements stealing Palestinian land, bulldozing the homes of people who are already refugees from the 1948 Nakba. And restricting flow of movement of Palestinians in their own land. Checkpoints. Disallowing them to have a state. No passports. Forcing them to be under siege. Controlling the ports. You expect Hamas to be social workers?
