Think of it this way
Everything in you're seeing in Gaza today is what was done to North Korea once. Arguably to an even larger extent.
A society that has been subject to that level of violence and inhumanity can't be expected to be exactly like colonial countries in Europe in terms of its social norms, without even considering cultural differences.
Despite all of that, North Korea has not just managed to survive, it's maintained HDI that surpasses nearly every other under developed country. Remember that it is one of the most, if not the most diplomatically isolated and sanctioned country in the world.
Do you think a state run by tyrants and capitalism enabled fasicsts would do that?
