    I wonder what percentage of gazan landlords are occupiers. Probably non-zero, but the majority? Wouldn't be shocked.

      i don't think the Israeli blockade & Hamas' government would allow such an arrangement. the only thing i'm getting with israeli landlords wrt Gaza are allegations israeli landlords wanted hostages to keep up rent, lmao

        I was just assuming given that Bill Gates bought up all that land in southern Gaza when the settlers there left.

          according to the norwegian refugee council that actually was defaulted to state ownership, but folks took em up in the courts for portions of it. unclear how that turned out

            hmm, death panel was covering it from a local who claimed bill gates bought the land off the settlers, would be a weird miss for them

                it's pretty bleak but death panel usually is

                the gates land purchase is just an aside, not the focal point of the ep
