Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

    Look, you’re obviously a debate pervert. I’m not going to engage your entire diatribe, but a few things to note…

    The blowback was the Hamas attack. The Israelis are the ones who created and have control over the conditions. The attack was the response. History did not start on Oct 7th.

    This is an imperfect example, but if you mistreat a dog for long enough and it lashes out, who is at fault?

    If it was religious, why would they be sterilizing Ethiopian jews?

    If I’m a Palestinian, and I become a convert, can I join Israel?

    What percent of Isreal has a Jewish faith, and what percent is non-religious?

      Pretty sure the dog gets put down, even if the owner was negligent.

      What percent of Isreal has a Jewish faith, and what percent is non-religious?

      Good first step. Now look at whether attitudes towards expulsion of Arabs from Israel is a minority view or majority view depending on that identification…

      If it was religious, why would they be sterilizing Ethiopian jews?

      Huh? I don’t see sterility listed as a side effect for the medication they were given. So “why were the Ethiopian Jews given birth control with ambiguous degrees of informed consent” is certainly a topic worth exploring, but is quite different from what you stated.

      If I’m a Palestinian, and I become a convert, can I join Israel?

      No, and that’s messed up, especially given the risks they face in Palestine.
