In this new age of shortages everywhere, one needs to avoid pitfalls before being overwhelmed.

I think back to 1968 and th Chicago Democratic Convention. We also think back to the race riots in the West side of Chicago when the neighborhood wa destroyed by the riots. Daley vowed to not rebild the community which destroyed itself and/or no one would invest in the community to provide jobs nor rebuild. To this day, the West side of Chicago is a slum like Detroit.

Detroit is a classic example of slum city, but as bad as Detroit is, Gaza fares much worst. Bear in mind there are slums all over America which could use money to rebuild. Hell, there are sluums all over the world neding money to help the poor. So why the hell should the slus of Gaza be te first in line to receive welfare to be provided by the US taxpayer borrowing the money to do so? After all, the actions of the rulers of Gaza are worst than those of US criminal gans who reside in the US slums. US voters are not going to reward Congressmen who give away money to states run by beastly killers..

Perhaps, we are being Christian or humane by limitng the slaughter, but we do not need to borrow money to fund the actions of etortionists.

The funds neded to rebuild Gaza will be provided by those who are generous enough to trust the people of Gaza with their investment. Notice the need for trust. It seems that Gaza has permantly lost my trust for some reason.

It seems that Gaza will need to obtain the funds for rebuilding from someone other than Israel or the US. Biden may try to offer some money but GOP and Trump will veto any idea of providing US oney to help Gaza.

It seems perhaps apprpropriate a more permanent truce using North Korea as an example. We can open the airport, seaport and the southern crossing immediately, but there will be no employment for Gazans in Israel and the rulers of Gaza will have the impossible task of rebuilding another world slum. As the wounds of Gaza were caused by Israeli responses to the actions of the criminals that reside in Gaza but Gaza can not control.

If Gaza attacks Israel again, then it is not to difficult to guess the Israeli response.

Gaza needs to act as a responsible community if it expects to be a sovereign state and this includes financial responsibility

It is in fact ridiculous for Hamas to expect either US or Israel to pay to rebuild Gaza. Pehaps they can use Iranian money to help the citizens instead of constructing an undground fortress and the purchasing of weapons.
