While Israel withdrew from Gaza, they maintained a stringent blockade, tightly controlling entry and exit, regulating the flow of goods, conducting drone strikes on suspected Palestinians riding their cars or motorcycles (Extra judicial killing), patrolling the coastal areas and airspace. Israel killed many fishermen who strayed few meters while making a living at sea. Israel imposed severe limitations on the import of construction materials, hindering Gaza's reconstruction efforts after the damage inflicted. Likewise, Israel kept strict control of the electricity and fuel supply and used it to drive Gaza into unprecedented poverty and despair. Additionally, they exerted pressure on Egypt to enforce similar travel restrictions, preventing Gazans from freely crossing the Rafah border. Since 2007, Israel has conducted multiple military operations, resulting in the destruction of infrastructure and the tragic loss of thousands of innocent lives. Israel insured that Gaza would remain one of the Thus, it is important to avoid portraying Israel as a peaceful nation that peacefully departed from Gaza without ever intervening in local affairs. This narrative does not align with the facts, and it's imperative to acknowledge the reality of the situation. Speaking of facts. Isn't EGYPT a SOVEREIGN nation? As far as restrictions consider why Israel might do that. Hamas. Gaza is ruled by a terrorist organization. If Gaza wasn't run by a faction dedicated to driving Israeli Jews into the sea, can you imagine that life in Gaza might be a lot better?

The main one currently being the high power imbalance between the Israel and the Pakestinians. There such a power imbalance that there cannot be any fair direct negotiation, without involving third parties . For example, it has been possible with Egypt because Egypt was powerful enough. Actually it only occurred after Egypt regained enough power, if I remember well. There's no changing the power imbalance. It's a fact and a reality. There is no requirement that sides to a negotiation would be equal in strength, I daresay many times this is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single word about the weekly protests of Israeli people against the Netanyahu government. Not a single word about the lack of intel and preparation of the IDF when the attack was executed. Learn your history before posting inaccuracies. Israel conquered the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967. Your reference is to 1948. This would indicate you're either ignorant of facts, or treat Israel's very existence as being the same as the occupation. Moreover, between 1948 and 1967, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were occupied by Jordan and Egypt. I have commented on the Israeli occupation, on this topic and past ones. I have referenced the mass protests against the Israeli government on this topic. I have commented, in depth, about Israel's intelligence and operational failures regarding the attack. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) 8 hours ago, Jeff the Chef said: Totally correct but Israeli governments have blockaded Gaza since 2007 They have certainly tightly controlled access. However they have (until these attacks) supplied electricity, fuel, water, food and medical supplies. They have issued permits allowing Gazans to cross into Israel to work (mainly in agriculture) in the bordering areas; they recently significantly increased the number of such permits. I understand where appropriate they have also allowed Gazans whose conditions cannot be treated in their own hospitals to enter Israel for treatment. This of course has now stopped completely, hardly surprisingly. The "blockade" centred upon items which had any potential for military uses, in particular construction materials which could also be used to build bunkers and tunnels and similar installations. Other items included electronic and communication equipment, which of course also had military uses, particularly with rockets.

If the Palestinians had access to modern military grade weaponry they’d I doubt they’d attack festivals and families but instead Israeli military targets. Arab terrorists are generally cowards who attack women and children, blow up passenger planes, rape and murder girls, etc. I'm sure some neo nazi here will dispute that. 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of the pre-teen kids that are currently being bombed took part? How many of the 75+ year old Gazans? The problem with collective punishment is that you just can't kill people fast enough. Because for every innocent you kill, you create a dozen new enemies. Go after Hamas. Kill every single one that participated. But what's the hurry? They're not going anywhere. There are, how can I say, levels of support for Hamas in Gaza. First, the Hamas terrorists themselves. Second, their eager supporters who supply them, hide them, etc. Third, those who openly approve of them and make donations. Fourth, those who largely believe in the Hamas philosophy but dont actively support them. Fifth, those who wont object if Hamas wins. Sixth, those who disagree with Hamas and their goals. How many Gazans fit into the first five categories? IMHO there are not a lot of innocent civilians in Gaza. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Derek Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Well, that's it. The Palestinians have self-destructed in frustration. Israel now has the excuse it always wanted to ethnically cleanse the region. They will make the Palestinians' lives so impossible that they will have to move en masse. I hope they find decent lives elsewhere in the Arab world (not Europe). Israel has won this, as was always inevitable, given that the west has shamelessly been on their side all along. The Zionist takeover of this region had been one of the shabbiest episodes in the history of mankind.

ChipButty Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The Battle of Gog and Magog Ezekiel 38–39 speaks of a great battle that will occur in Israel in the “latter days” and that will involve a people from “Magog” led by a king named Gog. Ezekiel described this war as being waged in the “mountains of Israel” against the children of Israel gathered to these lands. The Lord also told Ezekiel He would miraculously save His people from the armies of Magog so that all nations may “know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 38:23). Because of these descriptions, Ezekiel seems to be describing the great battle before the Second Coming, commonly known as “Armageddon.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
