. . . while not in the details, but in the general spirit, Gaza could look like that today with all the billions of dollars that got pumped into it. The assholes decided to use it all for terror tunnels, enriching the hamas leaders, and buying weapons. It's a shame, really, but they stated they don't want that kind of progress, only the total destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
