Does any of this justify the Israeli gov denying residents of Gaza electricity? Denying their youth the freedom to get an education or their elderly access to medical care outside Gaza's borders?
Last time I checked, "progressives" weren't in favor of collective punishment.
Some elements of Gaza crisis
*Fires 10,000+missiles @ Israel
*Uses civilians as human shields
*Hangs gays
*UNWRA "abuses of authority for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent"
*Uses aid $ to build terror tunnels to Israel instead of schools, hospitals
*Torture by Hamas

Why do you ignore real issues, like the rampant domestic physical and mental abuse of women in the home and systemic discrimination, mistreatment and exploitation of women, in Hamas controlled Gaza and lambast progressive Israel. See …
@emilyfmayer
14 years since 🇮🇱 left Gaza, why are we still required to provide electricity to the people in Gaza who fire rockets indiscriminately at 🇮🇱 civilian population? Maybe the terrorists should have built a power station instead of attack tunnels. Y are you supporting the terrorists?
@emilyfmayer
Are you aware you are speading falsehoods and lies?
"Electricity to Gaza is controlled by the PA. Education in Gaza is controlled by Hamas. Medical care is available both in Gaza and med travel is approved for free by Israel into Israel."
@emilyfmayer
Terrorism is the ultimate form of collective punishment. Who do you think Hamas fires its terror missiles at? They celebrate when Israeli civilians are murdered. Besides, how are kids being denied education? Hamas teaches them how to be terrorists, every day!

@IfNotNowOrg
Oh honey, where did the billions of $ of foreign aid to Gaza go? Why do they not have their own infrastructure for electricity, education and medical care?
And what is BDS if not collective punishment?

No. Israeli war crimes will eventually be called out by the international community. People of conscience can see the lies, corruption & incremental genocide of
#ApartheidIsrael
enabled by rotten to the core politicians of the USA.
#BDS
@emilyfmayer
Are you aware Egypt & Jordan provide NO med treatment to Gazans bec. they know they won't be paid by the PA? Yet Israel treats thousands of them yearly. And is Israel supposed to provide utilities to Gaza for free?
Why do you demonize Israel & never criticize her neighbors?
@emilyfmayer
Newsflash: BDS is collective punishment, which hurts all Israelis, including Arabs, poor people, sick people, anti-Zionists. Since you are a progressive, can we assume that your tweet is your formal declaration that you oppose BDS?
@emilyfmayer
None of what you wrote is true. One wonders why you feel the need to make shit up... perhaps because the reality doesn't look bad for Israel?
