    Alright, I’ll bite

    The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry.

    Let me take the opportunity of being new in the safe space to say my first death to Israel.

      Ok, but the local posting etiquette also stipulates that every comment containing the word "death" must also contain the phrase "death to amerikkka," so we're still going to have to throw you in a gulag.

    Wait is a Palestinian landlord actually going to charge a cleaning fee for a blown up Palestinian home? And he survives? he is the one that doesn't get murdered. What the fuck

      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

    They use shekels in the areas that are bombed by Israel?

    I guess that makes sense, but still interesting. I never really thought of what currency they'd use.

    Huh. I wonder what percentage of the Palestinian economy is owned by Israelis? (I realize it might not even be the case here, but it got me thinking)
