In addition to Israel's military superiority over Hamas and national resolve to obliterate the Gaza-based military junta, the Middle East's only democracy has a huge advantage over its enemies for another reason: pure economics.

The situation is similar regarding electricity, prompting international handwringing that Israel is supposedly responsible for Gazan hospitals going dark. But Gaza has only become reliant on free electricity exported from Israel because Hamas rockets from Gaza have repeatedly fired into their own electric lines, leaving them reliant on the very civilians whom Hamas has tried to exterminate.

Much like the fictional theocracy in Margaret Atwood's dystopian classic The Handmaid's Tale, the Hamas charter explicates the role of women solely as"the maker of men" and"guiding and educating the new generations." As a result of the ensuing discrimination, the female labor force participation rate for women in the West Bank and Gaza is not quite 19%, among the lowest in the world, according to the World Bank.
