I can't reply to bronzeage's comment above so I'm adding my comment here.

> Gaza is literally not occupied by Israel.

That is according to Israel and I believe also the US. Everyone else, including the UN, most world governments, international organisations etc consider Gaza to be still occupied, despite the "disengagement".

In practical terms, the "disengagement" means nothing. Gaza is penned in and the Palestinians have nowhere to go. The IDF goes in anytime it likes.

More accurately, Gaza would be described as a vast prison, but I think "occupied territory" is a milder and less shocking description, so actually kinder to Israel. In truth, what Israel is doing to Gaza and its inhabitants is unprecedented in world history and will drag Israel's reputation to the gutter for generations to come.
