who banned surfing there i wonder?


Can't surf without surfboards, and Israel bans the importation of surfboards.


no trees to make surfboards from in gaza? you’ll infamtilize these people forever if it means ever asking why no one is ever trying to make life better for themselves in gaza. terrorism or bust i guess


Lol but then you accuse Gazans of building tunnels for smuggling, like normal people, instead of resorting to subsistence economy like some weird noble savage in your imagination.


the exact opposite. i expect them to behave like people who want decent lives for themselves and their children.

and yes, the tunnels are real. that’s where the money that could have gone into building a real economy and society went instead.

So Israel is basically on borrowed time and they know it. The more insecure they get, the more they lash out and kill indiscriminately, and the more the rest of the world hates them. It's a death spiral, and it's unfortunate that we have to watch in play out in real time, and on our dime.


Muslim countries support Palestinians in words only. How many of the 21 Arab countries offered or agreed to take in refugees? Zero


You mean how many agreed to go along with a war crime? Support the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who said that Israel “would no longer be able to accept” an independent Palestinian entity in Gaza and called for the “voluntary emigration” of its people to countries elsewhere in the world?

Gosh I can’t believe everyone didn’t jump on board with this plan so obviously in the interests of the Palestinians!


What does Smotrich have to do with the 21 Arab countries policies toward NOT accepting any Palestinians?


Because they’re closely linked? If the Arab countries accepted Palestinians who Israel forcibly displaced, they would be enabling a crime.


Way to twist reality to fit your narrative. I would rather let my brothers die because it will somehow show the world that I don’t approve of Israel. Makes perfect sense .


Bc millions of Arabs on this planet are all brothers? Yeah no.

How would they build an economy if Israel blockades everything? Why would Hamas build infrastructure if Israel would bomb it anyway and lie and say it was Hamas-built so it was their human shield /operations site?

Israel left Hamas with no choice but to go underground much like the Vietcong did in the Vietnam War.

Nobody wants to live underground by choice

You are woefully misinformed.

Before the blockade there were Jews living in Gaza with the Palestinians. After they pulled out they left them flower farms and irrigation systems that they taught them how to use so that they could keep them going as an industry. Hamas ripped them out because they didn't want to take anything from the Jews. Then they started taking money that was aide to the Gazans. Then they started building the tunnels and starving their own people. Then they didn't provide jobs for them outside of joining forces through coercion and force in some cases. Hamas doesn't care one bit about the Gazans (even though a lot of Hamas is made up of Gazans). They're one job is to kill Jews. Full stop. If that gets the Gazans killed they really don't care. I'm not sure why people think they are fighting on their behalf. They aren't. The Gazans know that.

You have to have elementary knowledge of the conflict if you think Palestinians especially a Hamas government would be able to build thriving infrastructure and Israel wouldn’t touch it or claim it’s a human shield spot. Hamas had to put their stockpiles and operations underground where it is bulletproof and missile proof from Israel. The Israeli government was cocky and dim enough to sit on their hands and let Hamas grow and grow and grow underground not thinking they’d ever be a problem because they work hand in hand as friends against their mutual foe The West Bank/Mahmoud Abbas.

Gaza was actually more urban and developed compared to many parts of the world including West Bank farmland and Southern Israel with all the rural kibbutz and all the Bedouins that Israel doesn’t really care about and doesn’t put bomb shelters and safe rooms from Hamas rockets for like other Israeli neighborhoods. I Wonder why?

Racism is why Israel couldn’t see Hamas as ever outsmarting them and why they don’t protect Bedouins or Palestinians or Ethiopians the same way. Racism is why Israel boldly tells lies to the American president and media. They don’t think we are smart enough to know the difference

They are getting frustrated and angry, their appeal to morality didn't work (babies! American dollars!) and they do not know what to do now.

All this is true but why did Israel strengthen their hand? They told Qatar to keep funding Hamas , allowed settlers to terrorize Palestinian families in the West Bank to the point many revoked residency there to permanently relocate to the Gaza Strip. Gaza is literally a strip of land as small as Manhattan. Hamas wouldve choked on its own vomit and died years ago if it didn’t have the money or concrete to build the tunnels. They used Qatari money to buy concrete from Israel to use to build their tunnels. Israel should put Netanyahu in the tunnel and let him stay there for eternity as a reminder to Israelis of treasonous behavior.

A more civilized country wouldn't create refugees but Israel only pretends to be civilized.

It's a barbaric part of the world driven by tribalism and hatred. But I don't want my tax money going to Israel any more than I'd want it going to Hamas. Let them fight it out on a level playing field without Uncle Sam bankrolling corrupt liars like Bibi Netanyahu.

Again, nothing to do with Arab countries not wanting to take in Palestinians. But nice deflecting!

It’s not that simple. You need a plane to take refugees or a boat or truck. Israel controls all the land, air, sea borders except one. Egypt is the only Arab country that has and can helped Haza since they are the only Arabs that have a land border with Gaza that doesn’t interfere with Israel .

The rest of the Arab countries have to cross Israel in order to get to Gaza and for obvious reasons they don’t trust that a Jordanian or Saudi truck would be able to go to Gaza without being blown up by Israel and that being an act of war where their countries will pressure them to act. They don’t want war with Israel or to lose half their population. Only Hamas does

Who cares about your tax cents (not dollars). The govt doesn't make decisions by taking proportional surveys of taxpayers (so in your world the rich would have a bigger say in things? People who don't pay taxes have no say?), we vote for people and entrust them to make decisions using their judgment.
