    Gaza is not an independent sovereign state? I think the residents there might dispute that.

      What a pedantic and useless argument. Palestinians want a sovereign state. The international community recognizes that they have a right to one. However, Israel violates that right every day therefore deny Palestinians a truly sovereign state.

      Honestly, stop pretending you know anything about the plight of the Palestinian people. You showed your ignorance by claiming there was not violent conflict immediately prior to October 7th.

          You were wrong about the state of the conflict prior to October 7th. You refuse to admit it and now you want to sidestep your own ignorance through semantics and pedantry. Have fun with that.

              If you’re unwilling to admit that you were wrong about the state of the conflict prior to October 7th then it’s pretty reasonable for me to assume you’re arguing in bad faith.

              If you really want me to explain to you the difference between between the right to sovereignty and the material existence of a sovereign state I can. I could even provide you with articles written by Palestinians on the topic. However, why should I do that when it just seems like you want to pretend you’ve won some internet argument for the sake of your own ego.

                    And if you’re unwilling to admit that Palestine is a sovereign nation, then it’s pretty reasonable for me to assume that you are agreeing with Israel on that point.
