Frankie, what would happen if Israel tore down the barbed wire fences and let the Gazans roam freely?....
That's right. Hamas would rape, kill and torture more innocents. So why would Israel do it?!
I get it. The majority of Gazans just want to be treated decently and to co exist. But what about the 10% or 20% who want to kill Israelis?
It's time the Egyptians just let the Gazans into Egypt or wherever else. The Gazans and Israelis are never going to co exist and living in Gaza will never be normal.
No, Mandrill, that's as close to hate speech as I've heard from you on this board and it runs very much counter to even the pro Israeli crowd. They repeatedly used to us 'Israeli Arabs', or Palestinians living inside the Israeli side of the borders as an example of equality. Its not, the reports say its still apartheid, but even so, what it does show is that those 'Israeli Arabs can live more or less peacefully with the Jewish population.
Israeli apartheid is in three levels, from the lower level of inside the green line, to Jerusalem and to the worse situation in the West Bank with separate roads, laws, infrastructure and rights to the Gaza strip, which is perhaps the most inhumane and largest prison on the planet.
What those three levels should show a moderate is that if you give Palestinians basic human rights, or even just enough that they can live their lives, you won't get war. Hamas' public statements have been about a 75 year occupation, settler attacks and no peace. Not about genocide.
If you let Gaza free they will visit their occupied homes, visit family in the west bank, try to find jobs to combat the 47% unemployment, try to get clean water in a place where 90% is undrinkable, travel out of the country if they can and try to live their lives. Hamas would lose their power if they weren't needed.
Israel kills way more people than Hamas but you don't call them genocidal, even after Bibi said he will keep all food and water from reaching Gaza.
Gaza is part of what used to be Palestine. Now its the one state Israeli apartheid state.
The fight now should be for equal rights.
