"It has always been the case that the largest provider of aid to slaves is...
Their owners.
It's not even close.
All these abolitionists do fuck all for slaves, or anything to help solve the crisis."
Israel has enforced a blockade of Gaza continually since 2007, which has effectively cut the GDP by 50%, and even after aid. 40% of the population lives in abject poverty. Unemployment is 40%. 65% of all babies are anemic. 40% of the population dont have access to sewage, and much of the area experiences power outages up to 16 hours a day. Well, it's 24 hours now since all food and electricity have been cut off.
Oh they're slaves now?
Interesting.
See in a slavery system, owners profit from slave labor.
In the case of Israel, it sure sounds like in every conceivable way Palestinians are a drain on their resources.
Seems like the aid money Israel spends is strictly charity.
And what prompted those blockades, btw? Do you recall? Do you think it might have had something to do with the endless terrorist attacks?
I'm not saying the Palestinians are slaves... I'm just saying that Israel is largely responsible for the circumstances there now... just live slavers were responsible for the circumstances of the slaves.
There's a reason it's called an "open air prison." We have to feed our prisoners too, but I don't think anyone sane considers that investment "charity. "
Terrorism justifies retaliatory attacks against terrorists. Not keeping 2 million civilians poor, starving, and hopeless. All that making people hopeless does is make more terrorists.
Calling it an "open air prison" is propaganda, not fact.
And saying all Palestinians are terrorists is...?
I'm not saying all Palestinians are terrorists.
I'm saying that Palestinians elected terrorists to represent them.
