They actually have no country------they live in an area of the world that was once vibrant and productive -------between 1948 and 1967 ---it was controlled by egypt and during that time it was hell on earth------virtually no running water or electricity-----lately it is much improved -------the standard of living being far better in gaza than is the standard of living for most muslims in the world. The infant mortality rate is just about the best of all muslim populations in the world-------they are completely free to leave if they do not like it----fortunately there are immensely wealth muslim nations in the world to help them
That's what they say.

Indeed, it was a self sufficient country until Israel invaded.
Now we have two countries on welfare.
I think they call that success.
You are very ignorant of history and obviously never met a Gazan I have.
Israel 'invaded" gaza? when was that? are you referring to 1967 when the arabist imperialist PIG OF THE UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC fomented a war and manage to knock off thousands of his own soldiers? Gaza was self sufficient in ANCIENT TIMES but has not been self sufficient for more than 1000 years. It COULD be with work and technology------but so far it is still not Before 1967---the gazans were living off of water given them by the pailful from UN trucks and UN food handouts ------virtually no electricity. Egyptians still hate the "BALESTINIANS" It is very unfortunate that the the arabs of gaza have to depend on the "generosity" of the egyptians-------they may end up in the same miserable mess that they had pre 1967
