Jesus H. Christmas, you’re a fucking idiot.

ALL goods have to be smuggled in?

No, only weapons have to be smuggled in, the genocidal maniac Israelis deliver almost everything else.

What color is the sky on your planet?

Every merchant who buys one of the prized blue canisters will pay a $40 (25) premium for the difficult and dangerous task of just transporting them, says his boss, Ahmed. But in Gaza, where cooking gas has been virtually unobtainable, the merchants recoup that outlay, selling them on for more than $100. “Everything people lack in Gaza comes through the tunnels,” he explains.

The hundreds of tunnels ferry every possible commodity – from diesel fuel, clothing, chocolate, cigarettes and potato chips to cattle and Chinese-made motorcycles. And reportedly even the occasional hospital patient who has been to Egypt for treatment and is then shipped on a trolley and drugged to prevent panic attacks underground.
