Your comment talks about occupation in Gaza and then switches to Palestine, if you reread what I said above, I agree the west bank is mostly occupied (Area A isn't). What I am talking about is Gaza. Your appeal to authority does not ma

I'm sorry, that's not aligned with reality. Possible states in a system grow exponentially with lines of codes added and no one can expect or prevent all the failure states leading to security issues

That's pretty much what happens when you attack your stronger neighbor, go on a rape/execution/beheading/burning spree, then run away to embed in your civilian population who cannot enter your 400 miles of tunnels, which
