> Israel hasn't been an occupying force. Israel has indisputably been an occupying force in Palestine continuously since 1967, at the latest. > They left Gaza in 2005. They did not stop exerting control of Gaza at any point, continuing to regularly murder unarmed civilians within Gaza, without provocation, control its waters, and otherwise exercise dominion even after their tactical redeployment. Not that even if they had withdrawn from that part of Palestine it would change that they were occupying Palestine.
