This is quite interesting. This is not at all how this is portrayed in the media.

Would be cool to hear from a palestinian living there as well

I am palestinian and have family in the West bank and Gaza. And what OPs saying isn't true at all. They are an occupied and oppressed people, treated like dirt and without representation.

Gaza is literally a concentration camp that is extremely hard to get out of. Moreover, the Israelis block imports of food and building supplies, essentially trying to starve the inhabitants to death.

What OP is saying is similar to saying that black people loved slavery and then segregation, because their masters were so fair and kind to them.

I'm the OP, and I agree that the situation in Gaza is beyond reprehensible. I see where Gaza is today, I see how it got there and the Israeli / Egyption hand in it, and I only wonder if it could have worked out differently.

I wonder if it can even ever be resolved.

Regarding Gaza, what’s truly sad is that Israel allows more aid through its border than Egypt does...
