Gulags imprisoned individual people based on insufficient sham judicial procedures, but they say least made a show of imprisoning people who had done something to earn it. Keeping Israel as an open-air prison for residents who have not specifically done anything wrong is arguably worse. Detaining thousands of civilians in officially Israeli prisons without charges or trials

I have no objections to Israel trying to control the flow of dangerous individuals and materiel across its own land. Why should it have a right to block sea and air access? Why should it stop the flow of ordinary goods? Nowhere have I recommended open borders; there are lots of options between open borders and the blockade system.

I'm not actually a supporter of Palestinians. You'll note that I started this sub thread arguing that the UN resolution talking about right of a people to self-determination doesn't seem coherent. But I am a supporter of human rights, and this is a situation in which there seem to be many serious violations.
