If you're hung-up about the word occupation, then use the word under seige. Gaza was under seige the entire time you claim it was under no occupation. Israel completely controlled what went in and went out, operated a naval blockade over Gaza, and performed military operations known as "mowing the lawn" (population reduction measures) as well as shooting peaceful protestors. They literally counted calories of nutrition going to keep them barely above a starvation diet.
Nothing else you said in your reply is relevant. Israel has been occupying Gaza or worse the entire time. Typical Zionist deflection.
Ironically, your framing is the failure and your Zionism is showing. Don't defend genocide. Just don't do it.
Yes it is a concentration camp, the very definition of it. Maybe you are mixing this with nazi extermination camps, those were a different category - then I suggest some reading on that topic.
Let me ask - how easy it was, even before current war for regular palestinian to lets say move to another part of the world? I don't mean som israeli farmers using/abusing them as extremely cheap labor, I mean normal travel. Stateless people, kept in utter poverty by design, almost malnourished, effectively forbidden to leave what looks like the definition of open prison or what say US did to its japanese population during WWII. Some digged tunnels don't change anything here.

The rights of people under occupation do not extend to war crimes such as targeting civilians:

Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West bank did not start from it's inception, it started at 1967 in the 6 day war:

But what's another "inaccuracy" between friends.
The Palestinians are also bound by the Oslo Accords and other frameworks that have been in place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords
So the framing here is just completely wrong.
Given the west bank was occupied from Jordan and Gaza was occupied from Egypt and given those countries do not want their territory back and given these were all part of the Mandate of Palestine originally and taken by force in 1948 the legal situation is even more complex.
