Belgium announced that it is considering recognizing the state of Palestine, vowing to impose sanctions against Israeli occupation forces due to its genocidal war on Gaza.

    Look, i’m not gonna pretend that Hamas isn’t a shitty government and a terrorist group, i even agree that they can use the help to make Gaza better, but you can’t be serious when you trying to argue that Israel doesn’t oppress gaza while also acknowledge that Israel need gaza maritime space for their own benefit, that is oppression for fuck sake lmao.

    Gaza is already poor when Israel leave Gaza, then Israel blockade hamper their trade, israel control maritime space so they can’t have a port, israel control air space so they can’t have airport, and the world did not recognize Palestine as a country, all Gaza had is Rafah crossing, that’s their only way for import/export. It’s an uphill battle make harder by Israel action. Listing the facility donated by other organisations doesn’t make the oppression just disappear.

        Are you trying to say just because Hamas is a terrible government, the ill treatment toward Palestinian by Israel is justified?

          No, I’m saying Gazans were fucked both ways.

          Hamas forces Israel to bombard them while using them as human shields. While also taking the little money they have, forcing them into poverty.
