Really crazy because:

1. Gaza is not under Palestinian leadership. It is under Hamas leadership, who came to power by beating Palestinian liberation organization in Gaza first in elections and then in the subsequent conflict.

2. Israel is not building settlements in Gaza

3. Not only Israel, but also Egypt is blockading Gaza, and the reason is that Gaza has been run by terrorists, who have overthrown Palestinian government, that was Fatah.

4. Palestinians recognize state of Israel. Hamas does not.

5. Crying about Gaza's poor living conditions is no different than crying about Russia being under sanctions (albeit the extent of isolation is obviously different, but the intention is the same)

Educate yourself on Hamas, from Arabian source:
