As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.
Sure because Israel didn’t blockade Gaza entirely in an effort to prevent Hamas from taking it’s seat as the Palestinian government. And Israel totally didn’t embark on a campaign of assassination and destroying civil infrastructure and personnel.
You’re beyond gilding the lily at this point. You’re straight up ignoring history and flirting with the idea that Palestinians don’t deserve a government.
So are you saying that Palestinians have a terrible government because of Israel? That’s like saying Slovakia has a terrible government and it’s 100% Austria’s fault.
Also, I am strongly convinced that Palestinians should have their own state. However, it cannot be a state lead by terrorists and we should not tolerate if it ends that way.
Yeah that’s exactly what I’m saying. And come back to me when Austria is preventing Slovakia from actually governing or building any infrastructure.
Sure. The thing is, Israel does not prevent Gaza from governing itself. The fact there are many security checks regarding what gets in is pretty logical considering the land is lead by a terrorist group.
Security Checks != Blockade.
Of course, however, Israel cannot even impose full blockade on Gaza.
Uhhh, that’s funny because Israel completely controls the Gazan border. Even the Egyptian section is subject to Israeli oversight and the second the Egyptians made rumblings about letting aid in Israel sent troops to physically secure it and prevent that from happening.
After Hamas attacked Israel, yes. But before they simply had no stance there. It is a border between 2 different nations out of which none is Israel.
Nope, it’s a long standing agreement. Trucks crossing the border have to drive down to an Israeli inspection point before entering Gaza. Israel physically controlled the border until 2005. And this agreement is what keeps Israeli troops off the border.
