Everyone from Aid personnel to Hillary Clinton are complaining about Israel not giving access to for supplies, some of which could be used to build rockets, into Gaza.
The Israelis are allowing some humanitarian aid and food but currently not building materials and other supplies. The concern is that the wrong kinds of materials can be used to build rockets, bombs and other items that will then immediately be used to attack Israel.
Electrical wiring and batteries can be used in home reconstruction but all too often then find their way in to the hands of Hamas rocket makers.
There is a certain kind of individual who is like a horse with blinders on. They only see the hold up of materials that can be used to rebuild Gaza. This is fair enough in one sense but the same people do not consider the possibility that materials might be used in other ways.
These people ignore history, are ignorant of the aims of groups like Hamas and forget that groups like Hamas control Gaza, not some imaginary beneficent leadership.
Also to date there has not been one comment, from anyone, including Clinton, about how Egypt is also not allowing any materials to cross from their side. What's with that? There are ideologically similar to the occupants of Gaza but do not want to get involved. Why? Is it because they know what the materials might be used for?
As usual our media bias is out in full force. Hamas and Gazans can do no wrong, Israel is the bad guy and Egypt doesn't even come onto the radar screen.
