Hohoho. You haven't been consistent at all.
So Israel has de facto control over gaza? But if south africa closes their OWN borders with Lesotho and their OWN surrounding airspace, south africa isn't occupying them? They have 'de facto' control so by your reasoning: yes. But you can't acknowledge this.
But the border isn't closed: so what you're saying isn't control determines occupation but permission. No one has the right to enter another country.
Further, yes Egypt had the ability to allow unlimited food/medicine etc to gaza via the rafah border. So what's the argument here? They didn't get guns through and that makes it an occupation? Right... Go take a gun through any border.
And before you try to say they didn't get enough: https://www.anera.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gaza-population-735x1024.jpg.webp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Palestine#/media/File:Life_expectancy_by_WBG_-West_Bank_and_Gaza_-diff.png
If I stood blocking you from getting to the toilet and told you it's occupied: of course you'd say "No it isn't: I can' see there's no one in there! I need to poop." Because a blockade is not an occupation. Redefining words won't make you right.
You know, I can admit Israel is wrong to do it's settler-advancing violence, but you can't admit gaza is wrong to keep attacking israel because in your mind if it is an occupation that justifies gazan violence against israel.
Unicef:
The Egyptian authorities closed the Rafah border crossing with Gaza for long periods after 2014 following political unrest in Egypt. Rafah has been mostly operational since mid-2018, and was open for 95 days out of 151 in the first five months of 2022.
Gaza is an occupied territory by Israel.
Wrong. Yes, the UN and the human rights orgs are wrong.
Art. 42. Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.
The occupation applies only to the territory where such authority is established, and in a position to assert itself.
A blockade is not an occupation; if you do not control the territory. A fence on the US-Mexico border doesn't grant the US control over mexico. Economic sanctions don't grant control over north korea/russia/iran etc.
Israel was almost always attacked first, or about to be attacked.
Well Israel declares all of that land to be theirs. So I guess it was okay that they burned down the Christian village because... it's their land.
Free speech vs threat. "You're a poopyface" vs "I'm going to kill you."
If initially the defender, like on Oct 7 you don't morally need to declare war because the otherside initiated conflict.
If initially the offender, you morally need to declare war first, this is the 'honest' approach.
If you don't do it the honest way you end up with quagmire war. What is the goal, who are we after? "Let's launch rockets at them forever. " Uninvolved people suffer.
If Israel says "We declare war, we're gonna take all of palestine." THen the people who care about palestine can react, civilians can leave. And if Israel wins then it's theirs.
Wrong.
I can approve a jewish nation in their current land, and any land acquired in future through legal purchase or war, without approving of state terrorism.
Oct 7 happens and israel goes to war with hamas, takes a bunch of land: acceptable.
Jews fire bomb a christian town because they want to: not acceptable.

About 95% have since migrated, with the immigration accelerating after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when the population dropped from around 100,000 to about 40,000. In the mid- and late 1980s, it was estimated at 20,000–30,000, rising to around 35,000 in the mid-1990s.[130] According to the Iranian census, the Jewish population of Iran was 8,756 in 2012/2013,[131][132] and 9,826 in 2016 In 2018, a PBS program on the Jews in Iran claimed the population was 15,000. The Jewish Virtual Library gives the total of Jews In Iran in 2019 as 9,300.
A plummeting population: "Oh yeah, nice place for them to live."
The Ayatollah may not have said himself to kill all jews, but many iranians have. Also iranians are muslim of which one of the core beliefs is to kill or dominate jews:
Quran 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
It's not just the last bit that was bad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_of_Canada#/media/File%3ACanada_immigration_graph.png if ⅓ of all new Canadians are immigrants it only takes a generation or 2 before integration is impossible.
I'm no firefighter, nor do I deny evs have risks but this leaves questions that imply their training is shite.
- One died of inhalation, were they not using oxygen breathing apparatus/respirators?
- One died after getting trapped between a wall and the ev, and was left by his partner. Why was he back there?
Interesting theory. Why don't you test it out by throwing rocks at police?
