"This is not about security," said the head of Gaza's fishers' union. "It's economic, social, and psychological warfare, a weapon of slow, deliberate suffocation."

Their "security reason" are they they want to starve the people of Gaza and they can't do that if they fish for food.

I’m sure those Zionists are angry that Gaza isn’t landlocked.

Ah, yes, I hear Ben Gurion was so religious. Get your fucking head out of your ass for a second.

Ah, yes, I hear Ben Gurion was so religious.

Who?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion
the primary national founder and first prime minister of the State of Israel.

Oh ok, was he an atheist or something? (ctrl + f athei...)

Ben-Gurion described himself as an irreligious person who developed atheism in his youth and who demonstrated no great sympathy for the elements of traditional Judaism, though he quoted the Bible extensively in his speeches and writings.[101] Modern Orthodox philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz considered Ben-Gurion "to have hated Judaism more than any other man he had met".[102] He was proud of the fact that he had only set foot in a synagogue once in Israel,[103] worked on Yom Kippur and ate pork.[54]

Wow.

Pretending the spiritual realm is real with no evidence is the definition of having your head up your ass.

These people pretend and get people killed.

Only in an apartheid regime can another country ban you from doing something...
