I don't see any reasons from you or the other commenter upthread. One person may have alleged it was collective punishment but that's already been dismissed.

  I have nothing to do with "the other commenter upthread" and am disinclined to respond to anything framed that way.

    Okay: I haven’t seen anything from you explaining why Israel needs to provide Gaza with free utilities

      Even though they didn't have a physical presence, they were in control of the territory, controlling all borders, the sea, and the air. Israel is widely considered to be an occupying force due to this control. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree that Israel is occupying Gaza, would you at least agree that an occupier in general has a responsibility to provide basic necessities like water to the occupied?

        > controlling all borders No. Egypt lets Israel run the border, but if Egypt wanted to open the border to Israel it would. > would you at least agree that an occupier in general has a responsibility to provide basic necessities like water to the occupied? But it's not relevant, since there's no occupier. The government of Gaza has the responsibility to provide basic necessities to Gaza. Instead they spent it on tunnels and weapons.
