It's only going to get worse.
In a few years you'll have an entire generation of adult Palestinians that have lived under blockade in an open-air Gaza prison. It's an apartheid and Israel is an apartheid state.
Treating people with that kind of barbarism creates a lot of anger and a lot of people are going to think they don't have anything to lose by fighting back.
Haven't they been living in an open air prison since about 1948? I'm pretty sure they're working on the 4th generation to grow up in those conditions.
Yes, but it's grown progressively much worse, particularly since they were blockaded 16 years ago.
I think the next Osama Bin Laden is currently hanging out somewhere in Palestine, and when they surface in the next decade or two, their manifesto will sound eerily similar to the one OBL wrote about the embargo the US placed on Iraq, which starved millions of people and led to the rise of Al Qaeda.
I think Egypt and Israel blockaded the Gaza strip after Hamas won the election ~2006. I think the WB is not blockaded since they have the PA though.
You're slightly off. The blockade started 3 months before Hamas won the elections.
Bin Laden was actually a rich Saudi guy that gave up his life of riches to help fight the Afghan Muslims against the Russians who wanted to colonize Afghanistan.
Then when they defeated the Russians he turned against America because they were colonizing Palestine
Tbh I doubt at this point we will have a next generation of gazans
A lot of people thought the same thing about the Vietnamese. It's a lot harder these days to wipe out an entire population than it was in the 1800's, though not for lack of trying.
Historically nations that have wholly wiped out other nations of people have needed a pandemic that they're immune to in order to accomplish it.
