    Israel's intent is to protect their civilians from attack by rockets and mortars fired from civilian neighborhoods in Gaza by Hamas.

    Israel does not occupy Gaza. I never said that. You did. The IDF has entered Gaza to search out and destroy Hamas rocket and mortar installations.

    There are ~ 2 million Arab citizens of Israel. The Israeli intent is to stop Hamas from launching rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza on civilian neighborhoods in Israel.

    the Gaza Strip hasn’t been occupied. Israel is in the middle of a war on Hamas including an invasion, but the beginning of an invasion is different than an occupation. Like duh

    Ahhh I see your problem now. You think gaza is the clouds over it. You think gaza is the waters offshore. You think outside its borders is still Gaza.

    you are very confused

    Invasion is not the same as occupation. The fact you have no idea what the difference is on something so rudimentary says a lot about you and none of it good.

    oops sorry I said rudimentary, you’ll prob need to look that one up too

    The UN says it is occupied:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_ES-10/20
    Stressing that the Gaza Strip constitutes an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied in 1967

    Deplores the use of any excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force by the Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and particularly in the Gaza Strip

    You've been outvoted by 120 vs 8.


    And it is so, since the Jewish State is hawking all of the airspace of Gaza, all it's borders including their sea. And they have murdered a peaceful crew of sailors who entered the sea of Gaza in the past.

    You're very confused and are part of an opinion of just 8 countries while the bulk of the world disagrees.
    The Jewish state massacres any crew that would enter the territorial waters of Gaza to help them out. It has done so in the past to a crew coming from a NATO country. The Jewish state also controls the airspace of Gaza and all of it's borders. Subsequently the opinion of the bulk of the world sees it that it's occupied.

    Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.

    The idea that Gaza hasn't been under effective Israeli occupation is akin to saying San Quentin prison isn't under the authority of the State of California because the prison guards don't sleep in the same cell as the inmates. What Israel did in 2005 withdrawing its troops from within the Gaza strip is akin to prison guards relocating to surround a prison with occasional forays and use of force into a prison compound, while sealing the place from the outside world, even tightly regulating and limiting the visitation rights of the inmates.

    Now, presumably, prison inmates have done something wrong and many (as a result of an awareness of their wrongful conduct) more or less accept their fate. Most Palestinians in Gaza, many who are refugees the Israelis had dispossessed of their homes elsewhere, won't accept such a fate quietly no matter how much Christian Zionist (or Jewish Zionist) propaganda wants to paint them as deserving their fate basically because they are (predominately) "Muslim". The twisted nature of the whole enterprise and its colonial inspiration even more apparent when you consider there are a sizable number of Palestinian Christians equally oppressed by the policies pushed by these Christian Zionists cheerleading Israel: those Palestinian Christians (a) particularly well represented in previous, secular oriented, Palestinian resistance movements such as the PLO and (b) many of them the most direct descendants of the Jewish tribes in whose name other Jews are claiming rights to the Palestinian lands.

    Wikipedia is not a reliable source for the truth. Who wrote the Wikipedia article that you reference??

    Voting by the General Assembly is meaningless.

    Israel is defending itself by controlling the airspace looking for Hamas rocket and mortar installations to neutralize.
