    This sounds like youre looking up excuses for a genocide. First and foremost, Israel has barely existed for 80 years now. In 1945 barely 6% of the population of palestine was jewish. Secondly, carpet bombing civillian populations is a war crime. Trying to starve out two million people is a war crime. Third, Israel should just abide by international law and pull out their illegal settler from the territories they are trying to annex ilegally. Now they expect a sovereign country, Palestine, to vacate half of their territory in Gaza, just so Israel can do what they’ve always done: ocuppy, annex, settle, oppress. They don’t have a right to do any of that. In fact, exactly that kind of shit is what created Hamas, which Israel hasn’t had a problem with for years now. Don’t take that from me, take it from Israel’s finance minister that called Hamas an “asset” in 2015 because they are the best scapegoat to keep oppressing palestinian civillians.
