Not occupying, in like kind they are returning the HAMAs favour and invading.

REMINDER those were your exact words ... that Israel, before the operation, during the evacuation, didn't provide any shelter, food, medicine.
As a week-long truce between Israel and Hamas ended Friday, with Hamas firing a barrage of rockets into Israel
Ham'ass always breaks cease-fire
I'd say locking up a whole population is worse than a mere occupation and should require even more oversight of the affected people. When a person gets thrown in prison, they are fed and generally taken care of.
From an arab blogger: Hoda_jannat (@hodajannat) on X Translation from Arabic: Very important.. Read to the end Did you know: That before October 7: Israel was giving Gaza electricity and water for free for 20 years until October 6? Israel was allowing 30,000 men heads of household to work in Israel on a salary of $4,000 a month. Israel used to allow the entry of all children who needed complex surgeries or their expensive costs abroad, such as the removal of cancerous tumors or implantation of limbs, and treated them in Tel Aviv hospitals for free of charge at the biggest doctors, including Ismail Hanieh's daughter, who was treated in Tel Aviv 10 years ago. Even the terrorist Sinwar when he was detained in Israel's prisons. He had a cancerous tumor removed from the brain whose expenses reached a quarter of a million dollars.. He didnât pay a dollar in it Did you know that the residents of southern Israel who were subjected to the massacre were providing the Strip daily tens of tons of vegetables and fruits for free daily from the crop in agricultural land? Did you know that the residents of southern Israel have fish farms ... Was it intended for the residents of Gaza? They donate tons of it weekly to the residents of Gaza. Did you know that the residents of southern Israel who were subjected to the Hamas massacre were the most Israelis who believed in peace and coexistence and were the most peaceful and loveful of Palestinians and never expected that what happened to happen to them? Did you know that Gaza was never besieged? Hundreds of trucks, food and fuel trucks were entered daily from Israel for free. Everything that entered Gaza was entering the Israeli markets. Did you know that the residents of Gaza were allowed to travel from the Rafah crossing and enter and exit whenever they wanted to, but even travel outside the country through Egypt's airports? Did you know that the standard of living and life in Gaza was better than the standard of life and living in many Arab countries such as Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Sudan and Yemen? Did you know that in Gaza they were the first to buy iPhones since they came out to the market? They noticed their phones in Gaza for this day. Did you know that Israel was allowing bags with $30 million in cash per month into Gaza on the basis that it was aid to the population but controlled by Hamas leaders? Did you know that the Israeli network in Gaza is free and it is the best in the region in terms of the speed and quality of the cross? Did you know that they laughed at us... All these years by repeating the besieged Gaza cylinder? In fact, Gaza was banned from only some materials that are used in armaments and explosives, and the rest is normal like any country. Did you know that fishermen in Gaza used to fish at a depth of 200 km in the Mediterranean Sea and sometimes they entered to fish in Israeli waters without anyone holding them accountable? These are facts and many more you can check out each of them... These facts and others that many do not know about ignorance because they do not reach them and do not want them to reach you .... And others, the most malicious, know about it and ignore it for an end in their malicious souls.
Facts are indispensable but unless they reflect underlying truth, they really aren't useful...and I realize you lack a complete picture of what is really going on.

taking their taxes,

a bit of reading would enlighten you,
to the fact that Palestinians PAY TAX TO israel !!
. . . israel withholds the moneyblocking
building, updating electric, water, roads, infrastructure for the
Palestinians, all while discriminating against them
Read and Read and Educate.
The Biden Administration has just shown itself to be a deviously dishonest broker in this vital matter. This is much more than diplomatic malpractice; it is actual treachery. It mocks and betrays our most faithful and intrepid ally in the entire Middle East.
Yesterday, Israel was deliberately blind-sided by the Biden Administration. It is now clear that it wants peace with Hamas at any price and is willing to put Israel in mortal peril, let alone ourselves and our allies, so that Hamas can survive, prosper and continue to torture mankind. This is an effort that has been greatly enhanced by Biden who has provided hundreds of millions of dollars by way of sanctions relief to the bloodthirsty ayatollahs in Tehran who then use those dollars to finance and export terror and Islamic supremacism throught the world. Thus, unbelieveably we are financing our own destruction and cooperating in the defeat of western civilization of which Israel has long been an embattled salient.

You are correct about that. I didn't know about the tents. Not enough tents, but better than none, I guess.
My general intention was poorly expressed. I was replying to the idea being shared that somehow Israel is so magnanimous to the Palestinians, time after time, and that the Palestinians are given the utmost in consideration while being carpet bombed. Which is definitely not true, even more so at this late date than in January. Facts are indispensable but unless they reflect underlying truth, they really aren't useful...and I realize you lack a complete picture of what is really going on...despite your certainty that you have a more complete picture than anyone who might be offering any sympathy toward the civilians in Palestine (I don't refer to Hamas).
Given that, I do find it amusing that you would accuse me of antisemitism when I am sympathetic toward all the Semites involved in this fiasco...both civilian populations affected are undeserving of this tragedy. I might be anti-zionist-isreali-government but I am also anti-american-mic/cia-government as well, but I love my fellow Americans (all of them) and my country, too. It's simply that I hate bullies. And I know bullies when I see them.

The pathetic Biden Admin is deceitful with everyone on the planet. Not just with American citizens.

So yes, Palestine = terrorist.

The fact is that there were people living in that geographical location, with homes and livelihoods and families and everything else that pretty much defines living as a human on planet Earth.

first off, welcome to ATS! Be sure not to be a douche bag, as that can get you banned and make you have to come back as a new user and look like a poster who was previously banned. It's a bad look.
Now, do you know the number or percentage of the residents of GAZA that support HAMAS? I think that's a number that is key to your statement here, and one you must know.
Also, wasnt there many more German civilians than NAZI soldiers? If so, I wonder why they didn't stop the killiing of all those Jews?
