    If you and your people had been condemned, so far for three generations and with no foreseeable resolution, to an open air prison, barely survivable due to the abject deprivation imposed by your occupiers, who have killed much your family and of the families of everyone you know, and who have taken ever more of the diminutive parcel of land promised to you, as they continue to live in luxury just beyond the walls that surround you, then what would you do?

    Tell me, tell us all, what would you do?

    Think carefully how you answer.

    If you have not lived under the conditions I have described, then the only answer to which you may commit reasonably is that you have no justification for insisting that you would behave differently from the actions you condemn.

        You are being manipulated by your fascistic government, led by your fascist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

        Almost 2.4 million inhabitants, half children, are incarcerated inside Gaza. At only 41 kilometers long, the Strip is among the most densely populated regions in the world.

        Gaza is blockaded by land, sea, and air. No one and nothing enters or leaves, except by permission of the occupation.

        Israel entirely controls access to clean water and electricity. Conditions are of abject deprivation, and have been described as like a concentration camp.

        Everyone living in Gaza has lost multiple family members from bomb raids. The same population has been incarcerated for three generations, since the ethnic cleansing campaign called the Nakba, perpetrated in 1948.

        Racist tropes about Palestinians are widespread and largely unquestioned within the culture of your apartheid state.

        Humanitarian abuses have been extensively documented, perpetrated by your Israeli Defense Forces, and administrated by your Likud government, under leadership by your fascist prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

        The settlements are condemned internationally as illegal actions for pushing the condition suffered by the Palestinian people into greater humiliation and deprivation.

        It is beyond absurd, and a reflection of the depth of indoctrination you have endured, under the propaganda pervasive throughout your society, that you believe there is any validity for you to lament the lack of “working economy for citizens” of Gaza.

        You have no understanding of the suffering in Gaza, and I believe you prefer not to learn.
