Yes sure preventing them from controlling water and electricity on their territory, preventing them from importing or exporting goods, preventing them from leaving their Gaza prison AT ALL. So much freedom. I think every single action Israel has taken for decades has been to force so much desperation and hopelessness on those people that they have no choice but to support a group like Hamas. Netanyahu and his cronies have gone so far as to blatantly admit it in meetings and interviews. If you are going to butcher a people who's necks you keep a boot on for decades, don't pretend it's a moral action.
Gaza has a very productive import and export industry.
Thanks to Hamas attack on 10/7 it is now in shambles.
The only things Gaza cannot import is, guess what since Hamas declared war on Israel in 2007? Anything they can weapons out of to fire on Israel.
How would you like any country to attack the US from its borders and have the US allow import of anything into that country. And Gaza is not even a country because Hamas chose for it not to be a free, productive, touristic attraction since 2007 when it made it clear that all Jews gone from Gaza, all Hamas wanted now was all of Israel.
So, again, believe what you will. The fate of Gaza will be decided AFTER all Hamas leaders and fighters are gone or arrested. Save yourself about what this one said or the other one said, this war is not going to be finished any time soon. Thank Hamas for that.
Surely you did complain when Egypt conquered Gaza in 1948 and kept all of those Arabs as prisoners there not allowing them to go into Egypt, just as they do now.
Egypt did not build infrastructure for the Arab population in Gaza from 1948 to 1967, Israel did after 1967. And Israel provides very little electricity and water to Gaza, the rest Gaza is capable all on its own.
But you would not know that because you do not care to know.
Much less care to know that Israel helped the people of Gaza, including the leaders, with health care, surgeries, education and jobs in Israel.
And what Hamas did was use that help to plan on what they did on 10/7. Which is why there will be no Hamas, and no jobs, etc in the future for Gaza people to come to Israel.
The normal people of Gaza, who are a very minority, are against Hamas, and they do not get food, homes, etc people who are pro Hamas get.
Hamas is right now stealing as many trucks going into Gaza for themselves as they always did.
400 miles of tunnels for Hamas to hide and live in during a war did not get built from nothing. It got built from stolen money Hamas used to attempt to destroy Israel.
You would not know what an open prison is if it hit you over the head. People come and ago from Gaza via Egypt all the time. So much for a prison.
