This was said at the heat of the moment when the bodies of the Oct 7th victims were still warm and the entire country was stunned and lost.

This complete siege didn't happen.

Uhhhh yes it did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israeli_blockade_of_the_G...

> On 9 October 2023, Israel imposed a "total blockade" of the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity.

But Israel does allow food and water to enter Gaza. Some fuel. And yes, it stopped providing a portion of Gaza's electricity.

I think this (new) Wikipedia article is somewhat iffy. And maybe I'm misusing terminology. I think Israel's actions in this context constitute a blockade that is legal in times of war. I don't want to nitpick siege vs. blockage etc. or the fact that Israel doesn't control all the borders. Israel's actions here are legal.

> But Israel does allow food and water to enter Gaza

You mean by not bombing rafah crossing in violation of international law as they did several times already?

> I think Israel's actions in this context constitute a blockade that is legal in times of war

> Israel's actions here are legal.

At least provide any sources during your quest to defend isreal actions. Even if it is straightout lies like that one [1]

Hint : the story is about Israeli military releases footage of a secret terrorist ‘roster’ that turns out to be a calendar (that was very obvious for any one with basic arabic knowledge) and that was their justification for bombing and taking out a children hospital bt force.

I know about this incident.

This was not a calendar. The first day was Oct 7th. It had the operation's name as the title "Al Aqsa Flood". https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1724245759174791626

It's true that Hagari incorrectly said it was a "roster". But it's not a calendar. It was a mistake, not a lie. He shouldn't have done that.

Dude pls stop. All you are doing is finding excuses after excuse's for justifying every action of your government. Mistake this too quick that this is pathetic.

It's not my government. I don't live in Israel. If I was I'd certainly not vote for them. I can list dozens of things the Israeli government does that I am opposed to. I don't think I'm excusing anything but I will push back on the standard propaganda narrative like this "calendar" story. The Israeli government should resign. It's a disgrace. As far as re-taking Gaza after Oct 7th, knowing Israel, that was the only possible outcome. Likely the Hamas knew that too.

You can't attack another user like this, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. Please don't do this again.
