      ​@blackjackpinoko is true, but that still counts. Depending on the country you are in, you may have completely different rights even if some do overlap. Right to protest by far is the most necessary one. By definition, if you protest someone is going to hate you cause they feel strongly about the opposite view point. Yet we shouldn't have the power to take their right to protest like they shouldn't have the right to do it to us (I'm not an american but the point stands either way)

      There was no occupation from 2005 until 2023 and no siege. Gaza has signed contracts with Israeli companies to supply Gaza with water and electricity. Just regular business transactions.

    In international law, nowhere does one find that the occupying force has the “right” to defend itself. Instead, it is explicitly written that an occupied nation has the right to fight by any means necessary for its freedom.

    United Nations Resolution 2621 XXV of December 12, 1970 affirms : “the inherent right of colonial peoples to fight by all necessary means against colonial powers which repress their aspiration for freedom and independence”

      When the Czheckoslova resistance fighters assassinated Rhinehart Heinrich using a British made bomb, they were held up as heros by the allies. When Hitler had every tenth man and boy shot in the village of Lidice and the entire village raised to rubble, the allies called him a vile murdering so and so. What hypocrisy !
      The Palestinians did what the Checkeslova resistance fighters did to their occupation forces, and the IDF are doing in Gaza what Hitler did the the village of Lidice.

It's not "moderates" but near extremists who support 2 states and a withdrawal from non settled lands in Israel, and it's the 0.1% extreme who think lands should be given back to Palestine.

    All the pillars of Israeli security - deterrence, rapid warning and decisive victory - have collapsed in the current war, and whatever the outcome, the clear scenario is that Israel has entered the Gaza quagmire.”

    I'm saddened that my country is supporting such brutality in Gaza. The reason our politicians (mostly) are supporting this is money. MONEY talks. Money pays for the weapons of this brutality. That money also pays for political campaigns in our own country.
    President Eisenhower tried to warn us of this undemocratic synergy in 1961:
    "This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
