Hundreds of Israeli families lost their homes, hit by over 2,000 Hamas rockets deliberately targeting civilians. Israel warned this building's residents so none got hurt by airstrike. However, just two hours ago an Israeli building was hit by Hamas rockets and a man was killed: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/one-person-said-critically-wounded-in-ramat-gan-rocket-strike/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/one-person-said... So far 10 Israeli people were killed in these rocket attacks over the past week alone.

Im confused at the nerve of the comparison everytime. What hope do you have when you had the misfortune to be born and live in gaza ? Literally what ELSE do you have to do when you are basically jailed in 5km^2, other than building and sending rockets to the entity jailing you. Of course they are going to rebel. Its literally the plot of the movie "the maze". What else would you do ?

  Mexicans in Juarez also have a pretty bad life compared to Americans in San Diego. If Mexican in Juarez fire 2,000 rockets at San Diego killing and wounding dozens of Americans, the US should just let it slide because those Mexicans are poor and unhappy?

    This comparison makes no sense. Mexicans in juarez are not blocked to go ANYWHERE, BY the us. Someone born in gaza the past 30 years or more is literally blocked BY ISRAEL to go anywhere else in the world. With no hope, literally anyone would start rebelling and building rockets.

      It's the same, actually. The US doesn't "block" Mexicans. It just maintains its own borders. Similarly, Israel doesn't "block" Gazans. It just maintains its own borders. FYI Gaza has a border with Egypt, too, and Israel can't and won't try to "block" Gazans from crossing into Egypt.

        Are Mexicans prevented to travel to Europe? No. Are Gazans? Yes, almost exclusively. And if you're saying they can travel via Egypt you are disingenuous at best, and flat our lying at worst.

        Sorry, you are making no sense. Israel can't and won't try to prevent Gazans from travelling to Europe. It only controls its own borders, just like US vs Mexico. Also Israel would be pretty happy if Gazans could leave and go to Europe, or anywhere else really. That's one key point the "open air prison" claim breaks down completely.

        Are you fucking kidding me? This is among the most established facts in the whole conflict and you think people are too stupid to do a Google search? This is from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) after a 10 seconds Google search. https://www.ochaopt.org/content/increased-restrictions-movement-humanitarian-staff-and-out-gaza https://www.ochaopt.org/content/increased-restrictions-movem... >Israel has imposed movement restrictions on the Gaza Strip since the early 1990’s. Restrictions intensified in June 2007, following the takeover of that part of the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) by Hamas, when Israel imposed a land, sea and air blockade on Gaza, citing security concerns. Despite relaxation of some blockade-related restrictions in recent years, 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza remain ‘locked in’, denied free access to the remainder of the territory and the outside world. By the way, when I traveled to Israel in 2010 I tried to visit the Gaza strip, boy little did I know. It's literally impossible to go there unless you're there for humanitarian reasons.

        Israel doesn't have to allow Gaza residents into its own borders, no more than the US has to allow Mexican residents, especially since there is ongoing violent conflict between Israel and Gaza. Israel doesn't control movement between Gaza and Egypt. If Egypt is blocking movement at the Gaza-Egypt border, that has nothing to do with Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt%E2%80%93Gaza_border https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt%E2%80%93Gaza_border

Once again another myopic view of the situation. Let us not forget all of the Palestinians displaced (and killed) due to the state sponsored settlements...

  Let's not forget all the thousands of innocent Jews massacred by Arabs since 1880, long before there were any "settlements".

    They're settlements, not "settlements". The Zionist state was founded on usurped Palestinian land, and lives.

      The usual lies and demonization of Jews continues. All this hate speech in the supposed service of "human rights".
