True. I watched that and cringed. Enough that the Israeli govt does is worthy of legitimate criticism; lying about what they do is just as bad.
It's all fun and games until you start promoting antisemitic myths, @NBCSNL. Every Israeli citizen—Jewish and Arab, Muslim, Christian, of any or no faith—is eligible to be vaccinated; 2/3 of Israel's Arab citizens over 60 already have been. Apologize.

But if Israel is going to occupy gaza and the west bank, shouldnt they provide for the people in that territory? Seems like they are doing the opposite google.com/amp/s/amp.theguar…

Replying to @EthanMacNamara1
It is international law that the people of an occupied territory have a right to the resources of that land. On that issue, Israel in egregious noncompliance. They do not occupy Gaza, by the way, but the blockade is horrible and immoral.

*Israeli Citizens* are getting the vaccine, it is the Palestinians in the occupied territories Gaza and the West Bank who are being denied. Delete this tweet!

Moving an occupation to the periphery of a territory does not mean it isn’t an occupation. This shouldn’t be controversial.

They just cut off food, power, water and humanitarian supplies, surround it with guns and walls, and send in troops & tanks to raid at a whim, but that's not "occupying" it?

Sorry, you're dead wrong on the law. Israel is the occupying power in Gaza, West Bank, and East Jerusalem. As occupying power, Israel has the obligation to provide vaccine to occupied Palestine; it has refused to do so. You should delete your tweet defending vaccine apartheid.

so what is it called, when you keep stealing land and putting your own citizens on it, while controlling the whole territory, to the point of starving out it's inhabitants, since, it's not occupation?

It's literally an occupation tho

Are you kidding me? Mrs williamson you claim to be about actual change and morality which made me admire your candidacy but to call it egregious noncompliance is a fancy way of belittling the atrocity that it is.

If you understand that they control the airspace, territorial waters, control what gets in and out while periodically bombing the shit out of Gaza, why point out that it isn't occupied? It's a distinction without a difference.

Controlling a place as if it is prison is effective occupation.
