    Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza for around 18 years, although it sounds like that might soon change. Gaza is blockaded. I agree with the sentiment though, this is a ridiculous and petty stunt.

      Occupation isn’t necessary if your government controls all traffic in and out, water, power, and food.

        It doesn’t. They also share a border with Egypt. Have they tried to make good diplomatic relations with them?

          Fancy leaving your country and your home because someone else wants it?

          You mean the Egypt being ruled by a US-backed and funded dictatorship? That the Egypt we’re talking about?

            Egypt has a unicameral parliament. With elections. They hold the headquarters of the Arab league. Are on good terms within the Arab league. And if any government was backing the current one it was the UAE. I probably mean that one.

      The Israeli settlers were removed back then but that doesn’t mean it’s not occupied. That’s the official position of the state of Israel but it’s contested by many international organizations.

      The Apartheid-regime didn’t “occupy” the Bantustans, either.
