    How do buildings get built? Most of the buildings I have seen pictures of are reinforced concrete; are you entirely reliant on shipments of concrete and steel rebar for buildings? Or is it possible to get wood and bricks?

    In Cuba, under the years of the embargo and especially during the “Special Period” in the 1990s after the Soviet Union fell, people everywhere became handymen and tinkerers, to the point where they keep repairing their own cars for decades, and they assemble their own electronics from scavenged parts. Has something similar been going on in Gaza since 2006? And did this change at all after October 2023?

    ثورة حتى النصر !

      It is true that most of the buildings are made of concrete, because the population density in Gaza is so large that we cannot build wooden houses. It is true that most of the things we manufacture in Gaza know manufacturing better and more than manufacturing in Egypt. And most Arab countries because most of them depend on exports

      I want to go to Jerusalem. I want to go everywhere in Palestine, and I really hope that it will be liberated as soon as possible.

    How do you feel about the rest of the world? I can imagine it is easy to feel angry and feel like everyone outside Gaza are monsters for allowing this to happen.

      We really feel let down by all, especially the Arab countries. The problem is that there are Arab countries that help Israel, and it has become a year of war and no one can stop this war.

        Yeah it is understandable to feel that way. Its our duty as humans to stand up for eachother and to fight against evil like the evils of Zionism. I am not even in Gaza and it makes me angry so i can not imagine how angry it makes you. This anger is normal and justified. I hope that we will both live much longer than the Zionist Israeli Occupation continues to exist, and that you also have a belly full of food and empty skies overhead today.

        Know that there are people in the world who fight for this genocide to stop everyday, and that will not rest until all of Palestine is free from Israeli occupation.

          And so are we, my brother. We dream of the day when Palestine is liberated. What will be our joy and what will be our joy in going to Jerusalem. It will truly be a very beautiful joy, I have great hope that the Israeli occupation will end in the coming years.

    As an American I just want to say how sorry I am that the US keeps helping Israel. I wish there was more we could do to stop it, but honestly the US is basically an occupied country at this point and most people don’t even realize it. Which brings me to my question, do most Palestinians at this point realize that they are being genocided, and that Israel intends to eradicate you all? Or are some still deluding themselves into believing that if they’re really good boys and girls then Israel will stop one day?

        I am so sorry that they are the ones tasked with representing you in the international stage.

        Do you think things would have slowly gotten even worse than they are now if the PA had won the elections instead of Hamas?

    Do the Palestinian people actually care if Harris or Trump is the American president?

    Also I give my complete love and respect to the Palestinian people in their struggle against Israel. I have such deep admiration for Palestine and hope for liberation soon.
