Oh I’m sure you would have warm, fuzzy feelings if your government decimated your city and you had no agency to leave. Lack of clean water, food, and medical aid amidst ongoing death and destruction would only endear them to you further, but of course!
They could have used the several hundreds of millions of eurodollars of donations on building those things instead of building weapons of war. But they chose not to. There’s no reason to feel sympathy for somebody who destroys their own opportunities like that.

Palestinians did spend the supplies they received on civil projects, but Israel (and Netanyahu in particular) has been getting a lot of that money sent to Hamas in order to prevent the Palestinian National Authority from gaining support in Gaza.
So don’t blame Palestinians, who have no say in how that aid gets distributed, blame Hamas and it’s backers like Israel.
