This is a great read for everyone who visits this forum. Even after what he saw, he is still a zionist so his bias is what it is. That said, while the article is filled with the typical zionist lies that we have all grown accustomed to, he is really one of the more honest zionists I have read.
Excerpt:
...“The devastation I saw was extreme. Israel wiped out entire villages...
...Kawalek said he noticed a letter, written in English, tossed on the ground. “To the children of Gaza,” read the note. “Sorry for the damage. Hope we will share a better future together, IDF soldiers.” Kawalek was horrified. “All I could think of was how inhumane and perverse a military can be to do something like that to a kindergarten....
Yeah... a kindergarten... such beautiful and moral people.
A Gay Jewish Zionist American Doctor in Gaza and What He Saw
It was a war in 2014 after teens were kidnapped and murdered by hamas.
Hamas was abusing their own during that time as well. Hamas was not paying the PA for fuel and supplies were being withheld by hamas for hospitals and stores to create a false shortage.
Egypt had closed off the Gaza from the Sinai as well. Even now they only open the crossing a few days a year while hundreds of tons of supplies are delivered each day by Israel.
Yes, as soon as Israel granted the Palestinian demand for a Jew free Gaza, Egypt closed the border. Egypt knows the Palestinians well. And as to Israel sending needed food & supplies, never even a thank you from the Palestinians. Just more hatred & violence to Israel. It's called Palestinian mentality.

>>Hamas is Stealing Funds Intended for Gaza’s Needy from the Turkish Agency, TIKA, to Amass Wealth and Fund Terrorism
Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major General Yoav (Poly) Mordechai: "The egotistical Hamas terror organization has robbed funds that are meant for the needy of Gaza from international organizations. Hamas prospers at the expense of the residents of the Strip and uses donations meant for them to finance terror. How long will the world and the Gazan people ignore this?"

>>Hamas’ Taxation is Pushing Gaza’s Residents to the Brink
Rather than caring for the welfare of the residents of the Gaza Strip, over the past years, Hamas has increased the tax burden on Gazans through a complex mechanism of taxes, which are being exploited to pay off their workers
3/16/2017
It takes a payment of 700 NIS to import furniture from Israel into the Gaza Strip through Kerem Shalom Crossing, it costs 300 NIS to smuggle a suitcase through the illegal tunnels between Gaza and Egypt, and there’s a 100 NIS toll for trucks who cross through Salah al-Din road, which crosses through the Gaza Strip – these payments are just a small example of the complex system of direct and indirect taxes that Hamas has imposed upon the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip. In the past years in light of regional changes, Hamas has begun to rely mostly on domestic income, and thusly has significantly raised and diversified taxes on locals. Residents of the Gaza Strip, especially businessmen and merchants, will continue to pay large amounts of taxes to Hamas. To further clarify, currently, Hamas’ collects $100 Million in taxes monthly, with the vast majority of the monies going to pay Hamas official’s salaries, and not to taking care of the needs of Gaza’s residents. One can see how Hamas has gradually and constantly raised and expanded taxes while evaluating the merchant’s response to these increases in order to silence opposition to the taxation.<<
