It doesn't work as a comparison at all, unless you're trying to say that these people are incapable of taking care of themselves.

Governments are usually understood to be the people who control the movement into an out of a territory, its trade, its energy, its food supply and its ability to make peace or make war. In that context, who governs Gaza and the West Bank? is it the PA & Hammas or is it Telaviv?

My understanding of the situation is that the death-cult Gaza government that routinely puts its own people in extreme danger was backed by foreign interest to sow instability and civil strife in the area. Couple that with a blockade that’s lasted over a decade and a half, and I would suppose that’d make it hard to take care of yourself.
