No you don't understand, what is Israel supposed to do when Palestine does that?

But don't you wonder why Palestine is doing that in the first place? It's because Israel did that thing before.

But Israel did that thing because Palestine did that other thing

But Palestine had no option but to do that because of what Israel did months before

But Israel had done that because of years of that

But how is that Palestine's problem? They only did that because what else would've they done?

Israel is holding Palestinians in an area without letting them come and go as they please. Israel controls the flow of food, water, electricity, and building materials into Gaza. Israel controls who can travel for life-saving (often simple) medical treatment BECAUSE THE FUCKING HOSPITALS IN GAZA CAN'T GET THE MACHINES/MATERIALS TO TREAT THEIR PEOPLE.

No but please, GO OFF KING and build up this strawman "Palestinian supporter" that doesn't understand history and present that as a justification for settler colonialism

Agreed. I'm just pointing out how social media discussions are just "but but..." or "why can't they just...".
