Maybe if they stopped doing all the things that make them look awful we'd change our minds. But putting over 2 million people into an open air prison and constantly killing them and targeting children and even journalists and medics as they have? How could anyone think they aren't bad, unless you just don't care about any lives but Israeli lives.

Because they don’t do, what you just said.

Gaza isn’t a prison. Until the latest escalation, thousands would cross the boarder daily to go to/from work. Israel gave them humanitarian aid, gave them free healthcare l. Thousands of trucks crossed daily. Israel wants peace, that’s why they are normalising relations to the Saudis l, why they gave Sinai to Egypt. Hamas just wants Israel gone and constantly provokes them to keep the cycle of violence going

They would cross the border only if Israel let them with a work permit. They can't even leave because they won't be allowed back in, Palestinians have been stuck in camps for decades in other countries because of this.

If they won't let you leave without permission, and won't let you return if you flee them trying to kill you, how is this not a prison?

Shocker, you need a permit to cross the border between different jurisdictions
