As the song goes, “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” Hamas squandered an economy that was close to that of Ecuador or Sri Lanka for a pipe dream of “ripping the hearts out of Jews and liberating(!?) Al Aqsa”. While access to the mosque is generally still available to Palestinians from the west bank, it will now take a generation or so before the Israelis let anyone from Gaza visit. And I wouldn’t blame them.
