    Holy fuck, PTSD? You don’t think Palestinians have it? Everyone in Gaza has lost family members to Israeli terrorism. Even when they aren’t under active bombardment or gunfire, they are subject to life in a ghetto. They are not free to come and go, their power, water, food and medicine trickle in at the whim of Israel. Why do you think people in Gaza voted for Hamas? Israel has created a desperate people who don’t have any good options.

      Israel left Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving the Gazans to do as they wish. Including free access to the sea. Israel wanted nothing to do with Gaza after that.

      Gazans voted for Hamas in 2007, a body that want to exterminate Israel and fired rockets into Israel. So Israel set a blockade.

      The PTSD comment is not about right and wrong, but about being smart. Don’t scare people stronger than you with automatic response of ‘fight’. Don’t whine if you lose some teeth if you do.

        Don’t oppress and abuse people for decades and then whine when you lose some teeth. It’s about being smart.

          The bombing of Israel started before the blockage. Hamas isn’t a rational movement, it’s a fanatic religious organiztion. On the very extreme side of the Muslim Brotherhood.

          Their agenda is jihad to force Islam on everyone. All the rest is just rethorics and emotional manipulation.
