The blockade of Gaza is not limited to the seas. Egypt shares only a land border with Gaza, but it places the same sorts of limits on the movement of both people and supplies through the Rafah Crossing that Israel places at Kerem Shalom. Where is your thread to condemn the Egyptian blockade of Gaza?Are you seriously pretending you don't understand the difference between a nation controlling its own borders and a nation controlling someone else's borders? Egypt places restrictions on who can enter Egypt. I disagree with that, but it's not exactly uncommon. Israel places restrictions on who can enter or leave Gaza, which I also disagree with and is not commonplace. Per international law, Israel's blockade of Gaza, while perhaps draconian at times in what it restricts, is legal. Here comes this lame excuse again. At least you're willing to admit that Israel is, in fact, blockading Gaza and that Gaza is, in fact, kept impoverished as a result of this blockade. IDF soldiers don't conduct military operations from civilian areas, that is the difference between the IDF and Hamas. No, but IDF soldiers enter civilian areas, which makes those areas "military targets" by Israel's logic. Although frankly, if your argument is "we aren't worse than Hamas," you might as well give up. And the "possible presence of a militant dude" isn't just possible, those militants are in fact there. Way to miss the point. So a hospital or a crowded mosque becomes a "military target" by the presence of one dude? You have yet to prove to me (or anyone else) that if Gaza demilitarized that Israel would immediately resettle it. Take a look at the West Bank sometime. If you can't see it, then you're blind. The Palestinian have had lots of opportunities since the UN Partition Plan was rejected in 1947. Open a history book some time and read it. You might be surprised at what you find. I recommend that you do the same. You might be surprised at what you find. I also recommend you pay attention to current affairs, since you seem to love dredging up ancient history to justify current oppression. What happened in 1947 that justifies the death of someone born in 2002? Please find the posts where I advocate for the genocide of the Palestinian people. Fine, you only want Palestinians to be kept in the historical definition of a concentration camp rather than the post-1940s euphemism "concentration camp" which isn't actually much of an improvement. And if you think Hamas's SOP vis a vis dissidents have changed in the past 9 years, I have a bridge to sell you. If you think Hamas took power by retroactively using the power they had after they took it to coerce people into giving it to them in the first place, then I'd like to take your time machine out for a spin. Hamas is not Lord English. They cannot retroactively arrange the circumstances of their own creation. |
