        Israel creates racist apartheid laws and illegally starved Gazans in a blockade and you’re mad that people nonviolently broke some of those laws in an attempt to demand their human rights?

        Human rights violations and unjust imprisonment of an entire population are not something anyone should be expected to just “obey.” Next you’ll be telling me Jews were breaking laws when they tried to escape the Warsaw ghetto.

            No. Israel pulled its settlements out of Gaza but they land and sea blockaded it since 2007 and turned it into an open air prison and kept bombing it. Israel controls all the borders, including the Egypt crossings due to their treaty with Egypt that allows them veto power over who can cross from Egypt.

            Egypt is a dictatorship that mistreats minorities, if you want to compare Israel favorably to them then be my guest.

            First of all, Israel left Gaza in 2005. They no longer govern it.

            This is such a pathetic excuse, not to mention just a parrot point of pro-Zionist racists.

            So they left Gaza, and yet they control every fucking thing that goes in and out?? Looks like they just left so they can keep making this pathetic point while still cutting off water and electricity whenever they feel like it.

            Get that head out of that ass please.

                Dude, smuggling.

                If Israel didn’t control so much, it would not have been able to block aid and water and electricity and internet with ease.

                    Because that state is the one at war with them… they stole their lands, displaced them, and bombed them every few years for resisting colonialism and invasion.

                    You would not find it acceptable to live under thr rule of an occupier, so why should I as a Palestinian?
