Property Rights on the Gaza Strip?

After reading about the people being "evicted" (such a polite term) on the Gaza Strip, I started to draw a correlation to the recent US Supreme Court opinion that local governments can "evict" someone from their property if the authorities believe that such property can be used to boost economic development for the "betterment" of the whole community.

Isn't it wonderful how our Constitution's offering of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can be mitigated, minimized, and masticated, all for the supposed good of the community?

So, if the USA can't grant full rights to property owners, then it must be okay for other countries to "evict," too. The power of eviction.
