> Haha, no. The international community, international organisations and law experts have already established the consensus that Gaza was still under occupation.
I'm sorry, you can quote the UN human rights commission claiming that the sky is red as everyone perceive color differently but that doesn't change anything.
Quoted from the 1907 Hague Convention
Art. 42. Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.
> No. I said "retreat within the 1967 borders"- did Israel retreat within the 1967 borders?
And when this happens again who will prevent a massacre? Would you come help?
I know debating this conflict is worldwide entertainment by now, but seriously do you think that is acceptable to anyone living there?
> "2023 marks deadliest year on record for children in the occupied West Bank"
Surely hundreds of dead is more peaceful for both sides than the 10ks in Gaza, and you are focusing on a specific very bloody outlier year, you can compare other years (how many died in 2020?)
Like it or not, but the west bank has been far less dangerous for both Israelis and Palestinians even though both live in sometimes extreme proximity and with some very extreme elements on both sides
The reason is that because Israel has troops on the ground (occupation) it is able to prevent attacks and the extreme Palestinian organizations could never muster an army-sized force like in Gaza.
When Israel started retreating in Oslo is exactly when mass-killings started in Israeli towns. A sacrifice Israelis were willing to make, until it was proven that the Palestinian leadership was hardly interested in peace (repeated rejections of peace offers and initiation of hostilities)
