    Are we still pretending this all started Oct 7, and that Gaza has been a normal place to live for the last 50 years? With all the modern luxuries like, you know, drinking water? Electricity?

      Oh no that’s an exaggeration. They’ve only not had drinking water and electricity for 17 years. Before that they were only being subjected to a slow-burn genocide like the West Bank. Smh ungrateful brown people.

        And that’s so weird when people say “Hamas-run Gaza” but it’s Israel that cuts power, water, controls the border, has a blockade on the territory (an act of war), controls the population database and ID cards, and even sells rights to extract natural gas from Gaza.
