    I’m honestly surprised they’re not being returned in a matchbox. But that wouldn’t give leverage.

    Israel sealed Gaza off from all aid in the early days of the war ignited by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023,

    This is bullshit, Israel had Gaza sealed off long before that.
    Gaza is a giant koncentration camp, and Jews of Israel have become the evil they suffered in Germany during WW2.

      To be fair, this is exactly what the western powers wanted after WWI and why they divided up the land the way they did.

        Do you have any documentation for that claim? Because I sure haven’t heard that one before.

      In November 1967 the Israeli authorities issued Military Order 158, which stated that Palestinians could not construct any new water installation without first obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Since then, the extraction of water from any new source or the development of any new water infrastructure would require permits from Israel, which are near impossible to obtain. Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation continue to suffer the devastating consequences of this order until today. They are unable to drill new water wells, install pumps or deepen existing wells, in addition to being denied access to the Jordan River and fresh water springs. Israel even controls the collection of rain water throughout most of the West Bank, and rainwater harvesting cisterns owned by Palestinian communities are often destroyed by the Israeli army.

        OK, I changed it to 58 years ago! 30 years is just as far back as I personally remember it.
