@boredsoitweet There was no displscement from Israel into Gaza. What Egypt did isn't relevant, Israel had no control over that border.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@keylimepotato @JacobALinker No it literally doesn't. Judaism believes that God ordered the Israelites to brutally slay their enemies.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet What does controlling borders even mean? Israel had no control over the Egyptian border. A blockade is from outside. Japan was blockaded in 1944. There were no mass expulsions into Gaza from Israel in 1967 and 2014. Complete fantasy.

@boredsoitweet replenished once in a major way, by Jordan in the 1970s. Where were the refugee flows into Gaza in 2014?

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet So in other words, occupation on paper only. The main reason people call it occupied is to keep political unity with the West Bank. And the fact that you actually believe the refugee population was being replenished shows you don't have a clue about this conflict. It was only

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@souljagoyteller You people think Judaism is based on 19th century political ideology too, like "Tikkun olam" being repurposed from idol cleansing to woke nonsense. Your ideal Jews are leftist activists. Zionism is about an ancient dream which just uses 19th century ideology as a vehicle for it.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet The people who lived there were born there, as were their parents. They just call themselves refugees because they're still butthurt about 1948.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet The ICJ said certain aspects of occupation law apply, not that it was fully occupied. In any case Israel had no internal control, only a blockade. As I said, calling it occupied was a legal fiction.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet Calling a town a refugee camp just cheapens the term. It was a city in an enemy state, like Berlin in 1945. Except Israel was far less indiscriminate than the Allies were.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet Gaza wasn't occupied except on paper as a legal fiction because some people thought the blockade was occupation. There were no Israeli troops or settlers, it was a totally self-governing territory. The blockade was provoked and well deserved.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet The point you're evadeing is that this was a state-on-state conflict, not just helpless refugees being bombed. Gaza had no real refugee camps and wasn't a ghetto either. It was a de facto independent territory that launched a war against a much stronger opponent and got stomped.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@abierkhatib I bet you also think Hamas knocked out trillions of IDF tanks with RPGs.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet Which doesn't matter, the term "refugee camp" is clearly an emotional one meant to conjure up images of tent cities and starving people. These were towns with apartment blocks and shopping malls.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet The point is they weren't refugee camps and the inhabitants were by large second and third generation.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@seismaccabee She's clearly not observant or connected in any way but it's still an interesting distinction.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@seismaccabee Of course in her case as someone pointed out she wears a cross, she's clearly not religiously Jewish, but she might be halachically Jewish. Even if she's not this is still true as a generalization. Max Blumenthal has a non-Jewish mother for example.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@seismaccabee Actually it might be the case that such names make them more likely to be Jewish. A lot of asajews are likely children of intermarriage and last names are passed down by the father. It's entirely possible she's the daughter of a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@susanabulhawa I bet you believe that Hamas knocked out a billion IDF tanks and APCs with thrir RPGs.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet None of which is relevant to tje point. These are urban areas. The term "refugee camp" conjures up images of tents. Before the war they were all just cities. Sure, with third world conditions, but not camps. Gaza was a de facto state with an army.

[Throwaway_1993 @1993_throwaway]

@boredsoitweet The "refugee camps" in this instance are fully built-up cities and tiwns that get called refugee camp for politicsl reasons. Also, nice nitpicking, so one particular battle wasn't as deadly. More prople were killed in Syria from 2012 to 2024 than Israel killed since 1948.
