Gaza’s economy has completely collapsed:

Because of the siege, eighty percent of families in Gaza are now dependent on international food aid just to be able to eat. There is over forty percent unemployment , and ninety-five percent of Gaza's industries, as well as a majority of private businesses, have been forced to shut down. Because of shortages in fuel and spare parts, Gaza's only power plant is running at less than seventy percent of capacity, and electrical outages of several hours a day are the rule rather than the exception.
Running water is now available to most households for only four to six hours a day. Sewage treatment centers no longer function properly. Millions of liters of raw sewage have been pumped into heavily populated neighborhoods, and in order to avoid being forced to literally flood these residential areas with even more raw sewage, the Mediterranean Sea has been turned into a toilet. Since January of this year over 10 billion liters of untreated and only partially treated sewage have been released into the Mediterranean. Gaza's fishermen state that the sewage has killed off most of the sea life in the immediate vicinity.

That guy, though in Jerusalem, on the Caterpillar heavy-duty front-end skip-loader tractor (technically not a bulldozer, calling it one goes a little way toward neutralizing the horror of Rachel Corrie's death) that's currently being reviled as a "terrorist", was essentially being paid to build the walls that keep Palestinians literally eating Israeli shit.
They won't mention that in the tightly-controlled news media America has to make do with now, but that's what it is. Dude was working and getting paid to harm his own people.
Imagine how long you could do that without snapping.
