Reality Check Time: Goal of Gaza Rioters Is Expedite Growth of Military, Not Improve Quality of Life - by Dr. Aaron Lerner

From a long run perspective, the most humanitarian step Israel could take today would be to significantly reduce the security cost of dual use materials by decimating the armories, weapons factories, etc. in the Gaza Strip followed by a policy that any armories, weapons factories, etc. discovered after the operation are also destroyed rather than recorded in a "target bank".

The goal of the organized Gaza rioters is to pressure Israel to increase the supply of dual use material to the Gaza Strip to expedite the construction of yet more attack tunnels and other military structure along with the production of weapons.

To be clear.

That's not to say that Israel should not be interested in finding ways to improve the living conditions of the Gazans.

Just that in the absence of a departure from the current "quiet for quiet"arrangement, any Israeli concession regarding the supply into the Gaza Strip of dual use material - cement, rebar, other metal , fiberglass roving and associated resin, etc., that can be used in the construction of military facilities or weapons production - will ultimately cost Israel as these materials are used to help prepare Hamas and others for war against the Jewish State.

From a long run perspective, the most humanitarian step Israel could take today would be to significantly reduce the security cost of dual use materials by decimating the armories, weapons factories, etc. in the Gaza Strip followed by a policy that any armories, weapons factories, etc.
discovered after the operation are also destroyed rather than recorded in a "target bank".
