That is true, but the majority of Gazans polled support the actions of Oct 7, and back in 2021 most supported Hamas in another polls.
I do appreciate these polls may be answered under duress though and from what I see on video, there are definitely some people inside Gaza that are tired of living under Hamas. We just don't know how many.
> you're doing your side no favors here by pretending that Israel can cut Gaza off at its own discretion. It cannot.
I don't have a side asides from that of truth. I don't understand what the basis for this argument is - why can't Israel stop supplying utilities to Gaza? Israel probably will post-Hamas, since the UAE or whoever else would like them to do so, but ultimately it's at Israel's discretion.
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?
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.
The overwhelming majority of Gazans are too young to ever have voted.
Hamas won the 2006 election in large party by throwing PA supporters off of rooftops.
The other side of this argument routinely overstates it case, but you're doing your side no favors here by pretending that Israel can cut Gaza off at its own discretion. It cannot.
