Its quite easy to see what and why they are doing it . South Africa changed Government because of the Apartheid regime , people protesting against the South African apartheid regime caused the Government and Country to dissolve and a new order was installed . They think if they can convince the World that Israel has an Apartheid system , then the World force Israel to dissolve and a new Palestinian country will replace Israel . They aren't concerned about any discrimination, they just use it attack Israel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strange thing to do, isn't it? So said terrorists also invade their other neighbours? All the blame is on Hamas . They may well feel aggrieved about certain things and feel that they have been untreated unfairly . That doesn't give them the right to commit mass murder, war crimes and many other atrocities .

The claim was repeated by journalist Dovid Efune, John Podhoretz and others, in tweets seen over 10 million times. Israeli journalists found no evidence for the claim, and a representative of ZAKA, a first responder organization, said the claim was "false".

The question was the moral equivalence of the WWII Allied bombing campaign over Germany, and the IDF incursion in Gaza. Neerarum rightly deleted his post, because it made no sense. For example: "many more German civilians supported the Nazis that Palestinians and Hamas.". Yeah, Neerarum has conducted public opinion polls in Gaza, for sure. As for Germany, should the Allied bombing campaign have stopped the moment that Nazi support in the German population dropped below 80%? 60%? 50%? By what measure? As for the Allies not killing mostly children, do IDF bombs somehow target differently than Allied bombs? What the British "rightly" did in WWII, the IDF is doing in Gaza. Same same. I never deleted any post. Stop making things up. No idea why the guy you quoted is still quoting me, he knows he'll never get any replies. .

Jeff the Chef Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Bkk Brian said: No positive way to spin this. Three-quarters of Palestinians Support Hamas’ Attack on October 7, Says New Poll. Why? Since October 7, it has been impossible to truly understand Hamas’ motives and intentions. It can be just as hard to understand Palestinian public opinion right now. After the first few weeks of chaos, two Palestinian polls became available last week – and there is no good way to spin the results. A survey of Gaza and West Bank Palestinians by the Arab World Research and Development group (AWRAD) from the first week of November left many readers aghast: Nearly 60 percent of respondents very much supported the “military operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas on October 7.” Another 16 percent expressed moderate support. That’s three-quarters in total who supported the indefensible. Another three-quarters of Palestinians (76 percent) said Hamas was playing a positive role, while 98 percent said they feel some or great pride as a Palestinian. Just 13 percent of Palestinians opposed Hamas’ attack (21 percent in Gaza). https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/palestinians/2023-11-22/ty-article/.premium/three-quarters-of-palestinians-support-hamas-attack-on-october-7-says-new-poll-why/0000018b-f841-d473-affb-f9e9eeef0000 https://archive.ph/ePq1k Brian I know we don't agree on much about this sorry conflict but this piece should be a must read for all who comment on here.

Quote from source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_Border_Crossing In October 2023 with the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the crossing was again effectively sealed. For several weeks the Egyptian government refused to allow either Gazans or foreign nationals to exit Gaza via the Rafah crossing,[49][50] despite intensive international efforts to secure a window of time for the Rafah crossing to open to foreigners who want to exit the Strip.[51][52][53] Egypt also stated that Israeli airstrikes hit the Gaza side of the crossing.[50] 21 October, the border opened for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.[54] On 1 November, a limited number of foreign nationals and wounded began being allowed to use the crossing to exit Gaza.[55] Historically : Dates back from Ramses III...

"Defensive" ? I've agreed with many others if you eliminate any criminal civil threats on the spot in Israel or if you chase the intruders back into Gaza. The "offensive" response is out of proportion and also criminal and has been disqualified or rejected multiple times here on AN. IDF has no "offensive" capabilities to start a total war in the region. Everybody is aware of this. IAF started to bomb Lebanon and Syria just after the 7th of October attacks as a panic maneuver. Israel even started to almost menace Russia to hit them later (recorded on RT). This kind of tragic and provocative language and actions of Israel lately are only possible if you get some military backup of US and UK by sending their aircraft carriers. This conflict could have been ended by a hostage swap without mass bombing. This 7th of October conflict has been falsely sold as a total war from Hamas and Gaza franchise to recapture FULL Israeli territory with only +/- 3.000 militants.

What it meant in practice was that access to areas right next to the border fence was prohibited, barring specific conditions/times. This did not effect most of the population in the Gaza Strip, and pertains more to farm land, or wasteland areas. I don't know that there's actually that much opposition to this - Israel already informed some regional players of its intentions.
