That’s called collective punishment, and is a war crime.

They’re not really neighbors. Gaza is more like a prison controlled by Israel. Israel has controlled Gaza’s electricity, food, water, and the movement of its citizens for many years. I believe even before this attack, Israel only allowed Gaza 4 hours of electricity per day.

Also, in 2019, the PM of Israel reportedly laid out a strategy to “bolster” Hamas and provide them funding to oppose the Palestinian Authority. Hamas, in its current form, would not have been possible without Israel creating the perfect conditions for terrorist organizations to thrive. Israel keeps the conditions so bad, the average age in Gaza is 18. So, half of those Palestinian death toll numbers we are seeing are likely children.

Refusing to supply the country that invaded you is a war crime??? Since when? Does Ukraine have to keep sending food to Russia?

And what prison in this world can you fire off 5,000 rockets from?

Israel invaded Palestine. History didn’t start a week ago.

Read up on your history. Palestine would be called Jordan if Israel didn’t get involved.

And it is true we would have peace in the region, because it was never about “israel” and “palestine”. It is about a death cult wanting to kill jews.

The way I read it, they were already refusing basic human needs. Cart, horse.
