It might surprise you, but the oposit is true. though israel has a special place in my heart, i must admit that israel is not always as clean in this as they claim to be. It the lates bombardments in Gaza (2008-2009) the infrastructure was "destroyed". I saw a UN report with an inventory of what was destroyed. Since its a UN report i consider it true. Just for the idea of what was destroyed.
* All government buildings
* Police stations
* Prisons
* Factory areas, especially Bread, cookies (food)
Of the about 1200 tunnels which off course are used for smuggling (not only weapons, most food and black market stuff) only a few were hit. Dont recall the exact number but less then 5 i thought.
If you want to make sure Gaza would become self supporting, you would not destroy all needs to govern it. But Israel did destroy everything needed for a basic/ normal control. And they left all that undermined common government like black trade markets.
Israel is not at all out for blocking its opponents for supplies.
Israel and Iran share the same point of view in contrast to the USA in regards from the current Iranian Ship "Crises", both benefit from the rising oil prices.
