I was wondering who is going to pay for the reconstruction of all the razed apartment buildings, schools and hospitals in Gaza? Are the US and Europe going to do that, or is Israel going to do at least this?

I am genuinely curious what the US (Americans) think about this, they provide Israel with munitions and military aid which are used to destroy civilian buildings and infrastructure in Gaza and then they will pay once again to restore them?

Israel is gonna pay for the for the reconstruction willingly & proudly. They've been doing it for more than 70 years. All the Palestinians' apartment buildings that was destroyed for the past 70 years, Israel rebuild it, and then the Jews moves into the new area. Rinse and repeat until no more Palestine

They don't want to reconstruct it, they want to raze it to the ground and kill everyone, then oh look free land.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Israel will rebuild it when they build their new homes there. The gazans will all be dead or refugees somewhere else.

No one will pay, there is no reconstruction on planning, that is an eternal war there will be never a winner and there is no sense to build on an battlefield.

As an American, I am dismayed to report that the bloodlust and empty-eyed support for anything Israel does is basically the only widely bipartisan issue that exists here. It is absolutely grotesque and disheartening. So, I expect that once the fascists have completed their final solution, the US will gladly help fund the reconstruction of the area, to make it shiny for a wave of American and Israeli settlers and for the sake of business relations. It makes little difference which party has the presidency.

Either israel will fund it and israelis will move in, or it will become a big parking lot.

I strongly suspect the plan is for there to ever be any such reconstruction. Or people left who could benefit from it.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

america will happily pay american corporations 100x what it costs to rebuild it….

Wrong question. The right question is: Who's going to make a fortune on the reconstruction of Gaza?

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Lol Israël providing water to Gaza? => "look how they make profit from Gaza!" Israël shutting water down? => "look what they doing, starving and torturing the civilians!"

Can't win this

As long as Hamas still stands there won't be any reconstruction. They take all the concrete imported to build their terror tunnels instead.

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Being downvoted to oblivion simply for stating what Hamas themselves are bragging about, they're the ones boasting them being able to turn water pipes into rockets and construction materials into bombs. But of course anyone supporting Hamas will never tell you openly that they do so, so those internet warriors express their support for the terrorists instead "anonymously" with downvotes.
