    I certainly think the West Bank situation is actually genocidal or close-to-it. There’s a lot there that honestly makes me uncomfortable. “Technically illegal” but if the Israeli police are ignoring the breakage of the laws here, then its not really illegal, is it?

    The issue is that this meme is talking about Gaza. The West Bank issue is a totally different area of the country, and the people of Gaza barely even connect with the people of the West Bank anymore. Remember that the West Bank follows the Palestinian National Authority and/or Palestine Liberation Organization, while Gaza follows Hamas. So trying to tie the West Bank issues to the plight of the Gaza civilians is a major stretch.

      took me a while to respond, but i do appreciate more context. this is good information to consider, ty.

      I was fairly ignorant of the Fatah hamas conflict. this really does change my opinion of the sate of israel, to a degree.
