You do know the only reason the walls/borders are militarised is due to Palestine and their infitada bullshit?

Israel built the barrier in June 2002, at the height of the second intifada/uprising, when Palestinians carried out scores of suicide bombings and other attacks that killed Israeli civilians. Authorities said the barrier was designed to prevent attackers from crossing into Israel from the West Bank and was never intended to be a permanent border.

They don’t want freedom, they want the complete removal of the Israeli state.

How do you reconcile that?

You do realize the West Bank (and Gaza until 2006) has been under Israeli military rule since 1967 right? The problem is much older than the second Intifada and much bigger than a bunch of checkpoints on a border.

So setting aside how the war was with Egypt, not Palestine, occupied people still have a right to resist against their occupiers. If you have a problem with that take it up with the UN. And this is before getting into the whole human rights violations and Apartheid thing.

Doesn’t intifada just mean uprising? What would they be uprising against? Israeli settlers taking their homes? IDF indiscriminately beating, maiming, killing anyone with rocks in their hands? What could they possibly be uprising against?? Context to this whole thing requires you look past Oct 7 and to what lead to it.
