Talk about a farce.
There are 600 millionaires living in Gaza, reports Arutz Sheva, while the mainstream media for years have reported Gaza as an “humanitarian disaster” blamed on Israel for what was a partial blockade of materials that could possibly be used to build weapons manufacturing plants and rockets aimed at Israeli civilians.
Rafiah, a city which straddles both sides of the border between Gaza and Egypt, is the home of hundreds of underground tunnels that are used to transport everything imaginable – drugs, slave trade, cement, medicine, terrorists, advanced weapons, explosive and even vehicles. The same tunnel have turned Gaza smugglers into millionaires, according to the Arabic language Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, quoted by Gatestone Institute contributor Khaled Abu Toameh.
By all accounts, Gaza is poor, but it now earns millions of dollars in payments from tunnel smugglers, while restricting legal imports so that both tunnel owners and Hamas can benefit.

Arab style behavior!
what else is.new?
I question these figures. Gaza has a population smaller than Brooklyn,NY. 600 millionaires? Doesn’t sound right.
Something doesn’t add up over here. Who’s paying who? It sounds like taking money from the right pocket & putting it in the left one. I see a ponzi scheme not millionairs.
Being a millionaire ain’t what it used to be. A million dollars today is equal to about $137,500 in 1965 (when I was a kid).
