Blockades, fences, destroyed economy, destroyed homes, destroyed children, yep, no reason at all for the folks driven off their land by foreign immigrants, and into that “jail” called Gaza should be upset. Amazing that all those whining about the “diaspora” of one part of the tribe nearly two millennia ago, have no problem with them coming back and treating their “brothers” of the same tribe, worse.
“So the people of Gaza are ‘prisoners’ of what? They are free to leave. Instead they freely choose to send missiles into Israel.”Darn straight! Those no-good Muslims are free to stop complaining about being forced out of their homes! They’re free to leave the land they were born and raised in, and free and start a new life somewhere else with zero compensation for what was forcibly taken from them! At least until that land is taken from them.
Ima: you are also free to leave the U.S. at any moment, got your ticket yet? Oh, really, you think staying in your home, or nearby in the hope of going home someday has relevance? BTW, shoe on other foot, how many, trade unionists, gays, mental patients, Jews, or political enemies, were free to leave Auschwitz? How many Haitians are free to leave and say, oh, by a condo in Malibu?
Oh, right, everyone has Mitt Romney’s money and discretionary income and “freedoms”, or at least all the Republicans and right wingers do, right???
Ima, btw, an Arab Palestinian must secure permission from Israel before they can leave Gaza. Now as to those unguided and unsophisticated, often home-made rockets coming from Gaza into typically Israeli agricultural fields, they’re no match for the 21st century weaponry, and drone-fired missiles coming from Israel.

Or as long as Israel keeps going past their borders with settlements.

Tolerance is the only hope. They must realize that Allah, Jehovah and YHWH (in alphabetical order) are almost the same god.
