There's a contradiction here: Israel "smothers the reality of a seventy year occupation against which the oppressed should be justified for rebelling (even though there is no denying that its tactics of invading another country and taking hostages were nonetheless war crimes)." Israel does effectively occupy Gaza and has done so for decades. So Israel isn't "another country" from Gaza, it's an occupying power. Resistance against that occupation is an action recognized by United Nations declarations.
Thank you Larry; good point
