The European Union helped to build more than 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians despite Hamas terrorists boasting of their ability to forge an arsenal of home-made rockets from pipes.

Brussels has poured almost €100 million into pipeline projects in territories controlled by the Islamist group over the last decade, a Telegraph analysis of the bloc’s foreign aid found.

The revelation comes amid a mounting international row over future handouts to Gaza amid fears humanitarian donations could fall into the hands of Hamas.

      Ah yes because 2M people without any ~15cm diameter metal pipes sugar and fertilizer makes a lot of sense.

        The cost of the pipe is miniscule compared to the rest of the components though, and more mass means you’ll need more of everything else.

        things you need:

        • control electronics
        • propellant (prolly solid)
        • explosive
        • propellant casing
        • propellant ignitor
        • aerodynamic casing around everything
