Increasingly, mainstream Democrats have sought to carve out a space for “acceptable” Zionism by saying that they support Israel but oppose Bibi Netanyahu. But the horrors of Gaza are a result of processes far more vast than one right-wing leader.
Occupied is not the same as border control. The control was necessary because the Al Qassam Brigades and Palestinian Intifada Jihad kept attacking Israel with missiles and suicide bombers.
If it’s not an occupation then do you know what it is? An act of war. Occupying a supposedly iindependent state’s maritime and air space and blockading it are all acts of war. Israel has been waging war against Gaza for 20 years, keeping its people hungry, poor and scared. Replace “occupation” with “war” in my response. Happy now?
