30. No it's not. Look up the definition & you'll see Gaza is not occupation.

Where do you get Gaza is under Israeli military jurisdiction? Hamas would disagree as they are the ruling military power there (which they would not be if Israel occupied Gaza). Also, Gaza's welfare isn't Israel's responsibility anymore than it is Egypt's. For an occupation to take place under International Law, Israel must maintain effective control in Gaza....meaning they are the police & government, not Hamas and it is Israel that controls the borders (including the one with Egypt).

I think you know better but you'll probably continue with these ridiculous lies.

I don't remember any UN resolutions declaring Gaza free from occupation...

The UN is a complete joke with brutal regimes on its Human Rights council, UNESCO, defense of Hamas...

You claim to be against fascism but with your support of BDS, your favoring the UN's support of Hamas, defending others who support Hamas.....you show you don't know who the real fascists are.

I think that some pressure would be needed to convince Israel to give up all lands occupied since Little Tich May 2016 #11

There needs to be pressure on the PA/Hamas, not Israel... shira May 2016 #12

How would pressuring the Palestinians result in a viable two-state solution? n/t Little Tich May 2016 #18

They've rejected EVERY offer of a viable state. They don't want to recognize Israel.... shira May 2016 #36

Your fantasies about what a two-state solution would look like aren't connected to reality. Little Tich May 2016 #25

Maybe you should advise Abbas not to agree to land swaps. shira May 2016 #28

Wouldn't that just be the Apartheid one-state solution? Little Tich May 2016 #20

No, after a unilateral pullout & imposition of borders the Palestinians are on their own.... shira May 2016 #23

So it's just like the current situation, but with a higher fence around all the Palestinians and no Little Tich May 2016 #24

The current situation in Gaza for example is not occupation by any definition. shira May 2016 #27

Gaza is still legally under occupation by Israel, and the people there are still under Israeli Little Tich May 2016 #29

No it's not. Look up the definition & you'll see Gaza is not occupation. shira May 2016 #30
