According to the US Census Bureau the GDP of Gaza declined by 8% from 2006-2008; the time period when Hamas kicked out Fatah with an inflation rate in their currency by 4%. In 2005, unemployment in Gaza was 20%. In 2006, when Hamas took over, it
doubled to 40%.
In 2005, less than 50% were living below the poverty line.
IN 2007, DURING HAMAS CONTROL OF GAZA, 80% OF THE PEOPLE LIVED BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. Yep, them Israelis sure were starving the Palestinian people... 1 1/2 years before they got there! Must have been that sheeny curse olololol
The only good thing to come from Gaza since Hamas takeover was their literacy rate.
2005: 87.6%
2008: 88%
*slow handclap*
which one are the brown ones and which ones are the white ones
Brown guys: muhammad jihad arabs
white guys with funny caps: JEWSSSS
EDIT: Wow, big mistake here. While the per capita GDP declined, the spending power of Gaza + West Bank increased from 1 billion to 5 billion!!!!
And yet... unemployment has doubled and poverty (BEFORE THE ISRAELI ATTACKS) was at 80%???
So, where is the money going? I'll give you a hint
NOT TO THE PEOPLE LOL!
For those that don't know, this is what Hamas' rockets look like. I didn't know what Velfarre was talking about with sugar rockets but
WOW these things look like oversized bottle rockets.
CAN'T GET ANY GAYER CAN YOU HAMAS???
EDIT 2: Jesus Christ, look at the propulsion method on those things? It's probably a fuse attached to 300 sticks of dynamite. I wouldn't be surprised if more rockets landed in Gaza than they did in Israel. Holy crap, way to spend 5 billion dollars guys. While your people are starving you're stuffing the faces of the militia leaders like hummos, schawarma, moutabal, and tabouleh.
"Sir! Israel is kicking our butts!"
"SHUT UP AND WASH MY FEET PREPARE MY MEZZE!"
