Hamas killed Gazans for aid - academic in Lebanon

Khaled Al-Azi, PhD in International Relations:"Hamas has destroyed Gaza. It has destroyed the stones and annihilated the people, and therefore it doesn't care about anything that is happening in Gaza... The aid is not a self-evident matter. We saw how people threw [the aid] from the sea and how Hamas was killing the Palestinians [to get it]… Hamas listens to Israel and to death, but it doesn't listen to the PA. The statement made by [senior Hamas official] Osama Hamdan was the greatest disgrace, [as he said]: ‘We don't want to receive aid for Gaza, because the only thing we want is shrouds for the children of Gaza.' What does that mean? That they, these residents [in Gaza], work for you [Hamas] in the establishment?"
