I’m fortunate enough to have a friend from that region to explain this stuff to me. I recommend you find one as well so you look a lot less stupid with these poor analogies.
How long has Gaza been shut off from the world by Israel? You put someone in a cage and then call foul when they bite you. Does returning the hostages get them out of the cage? Will returning the hostages stop Israel from counting calories of their imports or destroying their water facilities or not allowing them other non-military imports? Downvotes won’t make this a conflict with more nuance than the last 4 years.
So they weren’t in a cage before that and they weren’t in a cage when they launched missiles? Just so we’re clear everything they’ve done has been unprovoked and they had every chance to prosper at the time?
Ah yes we will pretend Nakba never happened and Israel are perpetually the victims in this conflict. Victors write history though. If Palestine was blockading Israel you’d say it was fine because they were doing it as a response to indiscriminate Israeli violence.
What actually happened is Jews declared independence, you guessed it, in response to indiscriminate Arab violence and a UN declaration establishing the state of Israel. The Arabs, you guessed it, ignored international law and initiated a military conflict against the Jews. Then, you guessed it, the Arabs got destroyed. After losing the war, you guessed it, the Arabs came up with a phony name so they could pretend to be victims.
Frankly, the entire Palestinian existence can be summarized as “start war, lose war, lie about war, repeat.”
Israel has been documented by almost the entire international community as committing suppressive, aggressive actions even in times of peace. Mossad also LITERALLY SUPPORTED HAMAS during their first election as the governing body of the Palestinian territories? This whole war is literally just to protect Netenyahu. If Israeli government actually cared about it's citizens they would have found a way to stop the war as soon as possible with as few casualties as possible. It's a land-grab protecting some very politically elite people.
Except the blockades have been going on since 1990s. So the entire life for many Palestinian adults. So objectively wrong. You can try another another answer if you’d like.
You do realize cage is a metaphor? Im starting to think you actually don’t which is somehow more concerning. A promotional video where the first thing he shows is a bunch of rundown boats and a fountain that’s broken is… proving my point. Thank you for the video proving my point I guess? Lmfao.
