Israel sealed Gaza off from all aid in the early days of the war ignited by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023,
This is bullshit, Israel had Gaza sealed off long before that.
Gaza is a giant koncentration camp, and Jews of Israel have become the evil they suffered in Germany during WW2.
What happened since Oct 7 2023 is that Gaza was shut off completely, meaning that foreign aid like food and medicine was blocked. Causing widespread starvation, disease and child death in Gaza.
Israel is a failed experiment that should have ended already 30 58 years ago.
Israel claims to be a democracy, but no other democracy has ever behaved like Israel does. And currently the only country to realistically compare Israel to is totalitarian war mongering Russia, who also attack civilians indiscriminately.
Any country that supports Israel is supporting state terrorism.
- In November 1967 the Israeli authorities issued Military Order 158, which stated that Palestinians could not construct any new water installation without first obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Since then, the extraction of water from any new source or the development of any new water infrastructure would require permits from Israel, which are near impossible to obtain. Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation continue to suffer the devastating consequences of this order until today. They are unable to drill new water wells, install pumps or deepen existing wells, in addition to being denied access to the Jordan River and fresh water springs. Israel even controls the collection of rain water throughout most of the West Bank, and rainwater harvesting cisterns owned by Palestinian communities are often destroyed by the Israeli army.

  OK, I changed it to 58 years ago! 30 years is just as far back as I personally remember it.
- To be fair, this is exactly what the western powers wanted after WWI and why they divided up the land the way they did.
  
  Do you have any documentation for that claim? Because I sure haven't heard that one before.
Kidnapped, not detained. The correct word for what happened is kidnapping.
Kidnapping people and starving children. Kind of sounds like they might be the bad guys.
I’m honestly surprised they’re not being returned in a matchbox. But that wouldn’t give leverage.
I hope they were certain that this was gonna happen. Because, yeah, this people kill children in a daily basis.
I know its unlikely, but I hope they make another attempt and it's successful.
