Of course it's Israel's fault:

The head of the U.N. agency responsible for aiding Palestinian refugees said Wednesday that Israel's near economic blockade of the Gaza Strip is fueling support for extremists and shattering hopes for a peaceful future. "They're trying to punish those who've taken control of Gaza but in fact they're punishing everybody inside Gaza, a very small percentage of whom support the people who are controlling Gaza right now," Karen Koning AbuZayd of the United Nations Works and Relief Agency said. The violent takeover of the Gaza Strip last June by the Islamic militants of the Hamas movement, and their continual rocketing of Israel, has led to Gaza's increasing isolation.

As a matter of simple empirical fact that's obviously a bald-faced lie, since Gaza is a Hamas stronghold and Hamas won a majority of the popular vote (ergo, by simple division, we see...) But this is an interesting theory. Because we thought that Gaza extremism was fueled by the millions of dollars that UNRWA gives to Gaza extremists in open violation of US anti-terrorism laws. Looks like we were way off base.

In other news, UNRWA complained yesterday that Israel is making it harder for them to get money to the Palestinians. We wonder if these two stories have anything to do with each other.
