    The border isn’t based on religion. Gaza strip is not part of Israel.

    The reason it’s 99% Muslims is because they murdered everyone else.

    If you want to cross between countries you have to go through a border check. Like I can’t just go visit the USA without getting visa first.

      Although I think Palestine should be an independant country, if it was not part of the apartheid state of israel, they would have full control over their own borders.

      It is not the same as a border check specifically since it’s part of the same country, hence why Israel is an apartheid state.

      You both are really close to understanding the problem here, you just have to dig a bit deeper.

      Read this whole article, and actually read it for real, don’t skim it and pretend. It’s insane to compare it to any kind of international border because it simply isn’t.

        Gaza strip was part of Egypt till the six days war. Egypt refused to take it back. Israel refused to pass law expending their border to include Gaza strip and in 2005 made it illegal for their citizens be stay there.

        What in this chain of events makes you think they are the same country?

          Despite the Israeli disengagement, Gaza is still considered occupied by Israel under international law.[20][21] The current blockade prevents people and goods from freely entering or leaving the territory, leading to Gaza often being called an “open-air prison”.[22][23] The UN, as well as at least 19 human-rights organizations, have urged Israel to lift the blockade.[24] Israel has justified its blockade on the strip with wanting to stop flow of arms, but Palestinians and rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment and exacerbates dire living conditions. Prior to the Israel–Hamas war, Hamas had said that it did not want a military escalation in Gaza partially to prevent exacerbating the humanitarian crisis after the 2021 conflict.[25] A tightened blockade since the start of the Israel–Hamas war has contributed to an ongoing famine.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip#:~:text=The territory has been under Israeli occupation since 1967.&text=De facto administered by Hamas,IDF since 27 October 2023.

          Having administration privileges while being blockaded is different then being an actual independant country. They couldn’t even build ports or access to most of their waters for fishing.

          None of this is defendable. Take a hard look at the behavior you are making excuses for. Israel seriously sucks.

            Israel left Gaza in 2005, and placed no blockade. Hamas to power in 2007 and broke all past agreements with Israel and started to launch rockets into Israel. This lead to the blockade.

            The civilian population is no shield against a blockade.

            If you started to fire your gun on my home at random hours I would have locked your door from the outside and set your home on fire with, or without, your family inside. This is common sense.

            • Hamas to power in 2007 and broke all past agreements with Israel and started to launch rockets into Israel. This lead to the blockade.

              Hamas seized power after a civil war, brought on by an attempted coup by the PA backed by the US and Israel. This attempted coup led to the Hamas attacks on Israel. They did not randomly break all agreements and started shooting rockets.

              Hamas was always deeply unhappy with the Israeli presence, but they hadn’t become really openly violent before that point.

              If you started to fire your gun on my home at random hours I would have locked your door from the outside and set your home on fire with, or without, your family inside. This is common sense.

              What the fuck is this insane statement. Call the police?

              You are justifying an apartheid state, none of what you are saying is disproving the fact that Israel is one.

              The civilian population is no shield against a blockade.

              The civilian population shouldn’t have to deal with a blockade, indiscriminate bombing, apartheid or genocide.

              That’s the point. This isn’t taking care of business or self defense, it’s ethnic cleansing.

                You are mixing the west bank and Gaza 🤦‍♂️

                There is no apartheid in Gaza, as no part of Gaza is under Israeli management. Israel placed a blockade on Gaza from the sea (and not from Egypt) because Hamas was firing rockets (indiscriminately BTW) into it civilian population.

                There is an apartheid in the West Bank with the Jewish variation of Nazim running the show. That should stop. But that happens in the West Bank, where less than 6% of Israeli live.

                The 7th of October attack was imitated from Gaza, by Hamas, which see both Israel and Fatah as enemies (Hamas throw Fatah people off roof tops in 2007, that how they got into power).

                You are justifying an islamfascist body asymmetrical war on a neighboring country. By mixing geogrphy.

                I’m not sure if you are troll, or mentally retarded.

                  Open air prison, apartheid and genocide. Go shill for netanyahu somewhere else.

                    Fuck Netanyahu, fuck his Nazi government, fuck Hamas, fuck every Hamas supporter, fuck every person that cheered on the 7th of October, fuck every person that went to burn houses in the west bank, and fuck you, for spreading hate and thinking (you are bad at that part) that a highly complex conflict that goes back hundreds of years is one sided.
