    Well that’s what happens when you start a war against a bigger stronger enemy. It’s not as if there’s no precedent for it: Gaza has been striking Israel and getting clobbered harder back over and over and over as far back as I can remember … it’s crazy. And now everyone’s surprised that the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust is getting a massive clobber in return. Seems Gaza are so blinded by their backward religitard rage that they just aren’t capable of looking for another option.

      Oh yes. It’s always the Palestinians “starting” it. Don’t mind the settlers, the Palestinians arrested and held for years without trial, the random house searches by the IDF, the protestors shot by snipers, the blockade that’s been in place for decades, or anything else.

      It’s always their fault, you just have to ignore everything Israel has been doing, right back to the initial terrorist campaign against the British soldiers.

      Sigh.

      Gaza is under occupation by Israel, according to almost every NGO that matters, including the UN. The war has been going on since 1970.

      And before you call it “the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust” ask the IDF how many Jews they killed between October 7th and 9th.

        Sigh.

        Was alone pretty much an appropriate response to parent comment. Though I applaud you for your preservation.

        What else would Israel need to do to unoccupy Gaza? Army and civilians were all removed in 2005.

            Maybe if Hamas would stop making bombs and rockets out of literally anything they can get their hands on, in order to indiscriminately bomb Israel, they’d be more open to lifting the blockade.

          They literally have a strip of land inside Gaza that they shoot people for entering. That’s a child’s definition of de-occupation.
