Right, but can’t you see that’s precisely the point I’m making with the second question?
USPS shared customer postal addresses with Meta, LinkedIn and Snap
The postal service took action to ‘remediate’ the issue following a TechCrunch investigation

Not having control of your money takes on new meaning in some places: it can be the difference between life and death
In Gaza's "currency desert," people have to try and wait up to 15 days, dodging airstrikes, heatstrokes, and looters simply to withdraw their wages and remittances into cash
There are only 3 working ATMs, and living costs have quadrupled since October 7th. Most people can't access their money anymore and live on handouts
The craziest part: the paper currency that merchants most widely accept in Gaza are Israeli shekels. Meaning, the very notes issued by the state that is currently bombing Palestinians to smithereens
Fiat currency is so irredeemably broken

Perhaps they should reconsider voting Hamas into power. 🤔
But… would Hamas even allow free & fair elections at this point?

I already quoted Richie Torres. Pasting again here for you convenience.
“There is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, brought on by a wretched war that Hamas began, but there is nothing remotely resembling genocide.
The only party in the conflict with genocidal intent is Hamas.”
Sure, *some* parts of it were. Some parts of Mumbai, Mexico City, or Accra could easily be deemed “unlivable” as well.
At the same time, *before* the war, I’d seen videos on Instagram from happy Gazans who were shopping in malls, eating in restaurants, and some even showing off their nice homes. Perhaps you didn’t see that when you visited there?
Even now, are you familiar with Chef Hamada? He built a reputation as “a passionate food blogger, sharing cafes and restaurants in Gaza and highlighting the rich culinary heritage of the region.”

Look at his earlier posts. Is this what “unlivable” looks like?
Over 1.2 billion pounds of food have been delivered to Gaza, flatly contradicting the false narrative of genocide.

The only party in the conflict with genocidal intent is Hamas, which seeks to annihilate every Jew in Israel until the Jewish State itself is annihilated.”
