Okay I will. Israel pulled out of Gaza to let them have their independence and self govern, they elected a terrorist organization to run the place. Israel has not governed Gaza since then, nor has is occupied the territory. If you want to spread misinformation, at least pick something you know anything about.

This is only true under a definition that is entirely biased towards Israel. Israel funded the elections in question, which were held over 18 years ago (long enough to where the average Palestinian *wasn't even born yet much less had the right or ability to vote), and controls all food, water, supplies, utilities, and ingress/egress into the area. That is not "let[ting] them have their independence and self-govern".

Delusional.

Isreal doesn't recognize Palestine as a state. They say they are in charge of it.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

You can't even tell the difference between West Bank and Gaza, just grouping them into Palestine. Seriously, go educate yourself before regurgitating propaganda.

Israel literally controls everything. That's how they cut water and electricity.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They don't control it, they're providing it free of charge.

[–] blitzkrieg@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No they're not. They cut it off.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They stopped providing these services free of charge to the enemy when the war started.

[–] blitzkrieg@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having water and electricity is a human right.

The fact that Israel control it is a crime.

You're confusing Hamas which ripped out the water lines to make rockets, and used funds and supplies for a desalination plant to make terror tunnels, with Israel. Which graciously providing Gaza, which is not part of, nor governed by Israel, with water.

Edit: here is an example you might be able to understand. Your neighbor comes over asking to use the shower because their water line burst due to them spending their money on hookers instead of fixing it. While they're over, they shoot your dog. Will you let them in again to use your water?

Here's the actual example you might be able yo understand. An occupier invades your home, kills your family, an occupies your home. When you fight for your home, they kill more of your family.

By any chance, do you happen to have supported the Iraq war?

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you but any chance support terrorist organizations? It sounds like you do.

[–] blitzkrieg@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I condemn Hamas. They are the source of all problems.

Now, why are people in the west bank, where Hamas doesn't exist, are getting killed?
