It seems people forget that Gaza is under siege, not just since October 2023 but actually since 2007. I feel like people talk about this acceleration of genocide as if the injured can get airlifted or that people can flee to nearby countries. Gaza has been under a brutal Israeli siege for over 17 years where even things like jam and chocolate were not allowed into the strip. Gaza currently continues to be under the same Israeli siege where not even pain medication or crutches can get in. Israel has always controlled the inflow and outflow of everything, including how much water Gaza receives. This is why Israel was able to completely shut off the water supply of over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, to the point where fires caused by Israeli bombing can't be put out simply because there is no water to do so.
Just keep this in mind as you navigate conversations about Gaza; the fact that what is happening now is an acceleration of what has been happening for years and years and by no means an isolated event.
