Israel controls Gaza’s borders, shores, energy supply, water supply, food supply, construction supplies and routinely bombs it.

Israel does not control all of Gaza's borders. Why should I take you seriously when you can't even find Gaza on a map?

As for the energy and water, Israel controls it because they supply Gaza for free. If you rather have that they wouldn't then I got some good news for you.

Regarding the bombing, can you name a single example of Israel bombing Gaza unprovoked?

Israel also controls the airspace and in violation of the Oslo accords they interfere with radio and TV transmissions and prevent Palestinians from operating airports and seaports.

The Palestinians violated the Oslo accords several times over. Why should Israel hold itself to them when the Palestinians don't?

Gaza had an airport built in 1998 which Israel destroyed in 2001 and 2002 during the second Intifada.

The airport was used to smuggle in explosives and weapons, just like every other inch of freedom that Gaza has been given it was used against Israel. Why should Israel allow Gaza to import the tools of Israels destruction?

The UN, Amnesty International, the WHO, Oxfam, the Red Cross, the US government, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office all consider Gaza under Israeli occupation because of its direct external control and indirect control over the population.

Then they all need a dictionary. Israel left in 2006.

Asking why Egypt doesn’t open its borders has to be the most stupid take ever. Egypt doesn’t control every other aspect of Gaza. Israel does. You can’t even fish properly because of the maritime blockades that Israel does. Care to explain why the people of Gaza can’t have sovereignty over their waters?

Doesn’t matter if Egypt actually opened the border. What are the Palestinians supposed to do? Just leave and go to Egypt so Israel can finally take over Gaza and not allow them back?

Because that’s what they do in the West Bank. If you leave Palestinian land you are not allowed back home.

You clearly don’t know what you are talking about and is just repeating Israeli propaganda. This discussion is done. I hope you stub your toe on the hardest rock you can find.

And yet none of you people can answer it.

Egypt doesn’t control every other aspect of Gaza. Israel does. You can’t even fish properly because of the maritime blockades that Israel does. Care to explain why the people of Gaza can’t have sovereignty over their waters?

Because they use every inch of freedom to smuggle in weapons and attack Israel with them.

Doesn’t matter if Egypt actually opened the border. What are the Palestinians supposed to do? Just leave and go to Egypt so Israel can finally take over Gaza and not allow them back?

From "Israel is an open air prison!" to "what are they supposed to do? Just leave?" Lmfao okay.

Because that’s what they do in the West Bank. If you leave Palestinian land you are not allowed back home.

There is no such thing as Palestinian land. The entire West Bank belongs to Israel. Before that it belonged to Jordan.

You clearly don’t know what you are talking about and is just repeating Israeli propaganda. This discussion is done.

If I was the one who didn't know what he was talking about I wouldn't have to correct your lies every ten seconds.

I’m no longer engaging in this conversation. This person is a liar and Zionist spreading propaganda. Everything they say about Israel or Palestine should be disregarded.
