Israel doesn’t have a right to defend itself from its occupied territories
- Why do you think a sovereign state doesn't have a right to defend its citizens? Oh let me guess - you're a "from the river to the sea" kind of "humanitarian".
- Gaza is not occupied since 2005, for the purpose of handing it over thousands of Israeli's were forcefully expelled from the region (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_Gaza#Description_of_the_plan), not a single Israeli remained in Gaza (unless you count hostages).
the idea that they have a right to defend themselves doesn’t apply any more than the Germans had any right to defend themselves from the Warsaw uprising
Yeah, compare labor camps built by the Nazis for the extermination of Jews, where Jews were forcefully transited into, to a piece of land that was claimed and given to the Palestinians. This comparison is absurd.
Where's your outrage at 600K dead Syrians @PugJesus@kbin.social? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war#:~:text=Estimates%20of%20the%20total%20number,613%2C407%20as%20of%20March%202023.
Oh wait, can't blame Israel for it, nm.
