Stop calling Gaza an “open air prison.”

Prisons are filled with convicted criminals. Prisons have food. Prisons have water. Prisons have electricity. Prisons have medical treatment.

Gaza is not a prison; it is a concentration camp.

    How does a Israel closing its border to Gaza make it an open air prison? Does Israel have obligations to Gaza? And why should they provide stuff to Gaza when Hamas keeps launching attacks? Genuinely wondering about the thinking behind this narrative.

      They don’t just close the borders all around gaza, but also the exit to the sea. Not to mention they kept moving the border on a whim for decades, cutting access to trade, farm land, electricity. Do they have obligations? Yes, it’s called reparations…
