Terrorist Israel could easily solve this by separating themselves from Palestine. But they won't, because Israeli terrorists hate Palestinians and prefer to have them Genocided.
You mean like Gaza is separated from Israel?
Gaza has also been under blockade since 2005.
Somehow that blockade haven't stopped Hamas from getting thousands of rockets and firing them into Israeli citizens. Imagine what they could do for their own citizens if they wanted to.
Not much really. The blockade prevents a lot of basic goods from entering Gaza. Not saying Hamas is doing everything they can for their citizens, but there's a fundamental limit on how much you can do when the people controlling your borders are letting into your borders less food than they calculated you need to not starve to death. I'm not even exaggerating; this actually happened.
Israel has full control over the airspace, seaports, and TV transmissions, in addition to imposing a blockade. Doesn't sound like "separated" to me.
Let's imagine a world where Gaza has a open sea and air access? Do you think it would've changed events of October 7th? Do you think Hamas would've fired more or less rockets? Or maybe denounce violence?
The rockets are a direct response to the blockade so yes, very much yes. And before you say the blockade started in 2007, no it started in 2005 and was tightened in 2007.
You're either super innocent, or super brainwashed if you truly believe that open sea and air spaces for Hamas would mean less violence.
Well if both sides hate the Palestinians, then bye Palestinians.
Oh. So you support terrorist Hamas. Weird flex.
Technically they’re all inspiring terror and using regular people as cannon fodder. Both sides are to blame, god is fake, and their “holy land” is worth nothing.
By equating both sides, you are just making a clown out of yourself.
I support all progressive national liberation movements in Palestine against the Zionist Terrorist Regimes of Israel and Amerika.
Even ones that actively celebrate rape and murder? Even ones that will oppress women?
Does this even count as a 'progressive' movement if it institutes an intensely religious dictatorship?
That is your narrow IdPol view. Not mine. Israel celebrates Rape and Murder, keyword: Genocide of Millions of Palestinians. The Palestinian movement is largely secular.
So it is a fight until one side is annihilated in your opinion then?
We all know which side will win.
Hamas only exists because the Abbas-led PLO was "too secular" - which in their original charter they blamed on a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to infiltrate schools and promote secularism.
Hamas wants an Islamic caliphate, as they directly mention in both charters.
2,000 homosexual refugees live in Tel Aviv at any given time, fleeing persecution in Gaza.
And kind of irrelevant but extra funny, the "Gays for Palestine" group in the UK was attacked by Hamas-supporting protestors at the recent protest.
It’s well known that Netanyahu wanted the secular faction weakened and had funded Hamas to do it. The Mossad also begged Qatar to fund Hamas.
Yes Netanyahu did indeed make a bad choice
That's neither here nor there tho.
Hamas terrorists murdered several of my fellow Canadian citizens. Fuck you
Israel has killed at least 19 Canadians families since.

Because those fucking Hamas terrorists are using civilians as shields. Are you pro-terrorist weirdos playing with a full deck? What the goddamned hell is wrong with you?
So if someone took a person hostage, you’d be fine if the cops torched half a city in response?
Israel killed those people with its indiscriminate bombings.
Fuck Israel and fuck Hamas, I’m siding with the city of largely children being murdered for decades by Israel.
The far right bigoted ruling party of Israel is shit. The authoritarian bigoted Palestinian leaders are shit. Hamas is holding ALL of them hostage and must be completely wiped out.
And that justifies using the most primitive and stupid way to solve it? And not even an effective one at that.
Terrorists like Hamas do not negotiate.
Should Likud be completely wiped out too?
They should be run out of office. They are inept and bigoted.
Do you think shields matter against intentional blind bombing on civilians? Or do you seriously think they are not purposely aiming for civilians with the way they chose to attack? Use your brain.
The only people doing this are Hamas.
I suppose that might technically be true, since Israel is bombing civilians knowingly.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/16/middleeast/israel-palestinian-evacuation-orders-invs/index.html
That is still not even technically true. Civilian casualties in urban war zones are tragically unavoidable. That's why war is bad.
Why are cowardly terrorist Hamas hiding behind Palestinian civilians instead of separating themselves to protect the civilians? Why are terrorist Hamas murderers such cowards?
Dude, people are living their live. Israel chose to bomb their homes. Why is the Israel government and (some) people in the country such idiots for not finding better way to avoid harming civilians? Why are they attacking despite knowing it's mostly killing civilians? Why are these murderous attackers so incompetent and heartless?
Are you completely forgetting the Hamas terrorist slaughter of civilians and the taking of civilian hostages? The Hamas terrorists must have known there would be a retaliation. Why didn't the barbarian Hamas terrorists make sure Gazans were taken to safety before doing the initial terrorist strike against civilians?
Is one side of your brain in shut down or something? Seems like you can only think about things one-sidedly.
No. All of the civilians, Palestinian and Israeli are victims of Hamas.
You, like any other typical White Western Foreigner, are blabbering nonsense without any evidence.
Israeli Terrorists murdered several of my Palestinian brothers and sisters. May they rest in peace.
Fuck you
