Stop calling Gaza an “open air prison.”
Prisons are filled with convicted criminals. Prisons have food. Prisons have water. Prisons have electricity. Prisons have medical treatment.
Gaza is not a prison; it is a concentration camp.
While I can’t argue with point 1, it’s wildly unrealistic to believe that even 3/4 of convicted criminals in American prisons are actually guilty. Between private prisons, kickbacks for judges, and the war on drugs, our prison system is about as shitty as it gets.
Private prisons only house 8% of US prisoners. The problem is the contracts given to public prisons.
Maybe she’s talking about European prisons?
If you’re born in prison, you will not grow up in prison.
Gaza is a concentration camp.
More like a ghetto.

They don’t just close the borders all around gaza, but also the exit to the sea. Not to mention they kept moving the border on a whim for decades, cutting access to trade, farm land, electricity. Do they have obligations? Yes, it’s called reparations…

How is this antisemitic?
Hard disagree. Is it intentionally provocative to make their statement in that way? 100 percent. But that isn’t anti semitism, anti semitism isn’t saying things that may upset Jewish people. It is the belief that Jewish people are less than people.
the belief that Jewish people are less than people.
Which is of course ironic since Israel is treating the Palestinians as less than people…
Yeah no. A concentration camp does not need to be a carbon copy of what the Nazi’s did for it to be called one. This is not antisemitism. Israel can be criticized based on policy and military action. It’s an apartheid state anyway. Palestine has a right to exist, it’s ridiculous that these people are considered stateless. It’s shameful that the powers-that-be intend to continue to prop Israel up regardless of the inhumane treatment of those they oppress.
You keep using that word. I don’t think you know what it means.
Concentration camps have a history outside ww2, also Jews were not the only ones to be sent to camps lest you forget about the disabled, romani, gays, various slavs, or socialists who were also killed by Nazi Germany
Don’t forget the Cubans, the Boers, and the Japanese.
All three were still camps, because more than just the Germans used them.
