You're ignoring the West Bank. Palestine is not just Gaza.

What's your point?

Palestinians in Gaza are not allowed to freely travel to the West Bank.

You're making a lot of claims about what's going on in Gaza and making huge, sweeping statements that attempt to correlate Palestinians' experience with others in history. I recommend you read about what is actually going on in Gaza before continuing. You seem ignorant about some of their most basic and fundamental struggles.

My point is the genocide of the Palestinians is more than just Gaza. The bombing of Gazans is a war crime, yes, but that in and of itself is not genocide. The settlements in the West Bank and overall encroachment on Palestinian territory is genocide, and that's been going on for decades. If Israel and Egypt suddenly allowed people to leave Gaza and go to the West Bank, it wouldn't stop the genocide, nor would stopping the bombing or the killings in Gaza, because the fact that Israel is allowing their colonists to displace Palestinians at all is enough to say that their intent is genocidal in nature.

You're so caught up in the emotive rhetoric about Gaza that you're ignoring the actual issue at hand. It's like if the bombings weren't happening at all, you wouldn't actually give a shit.
