I wonder if OP knows why Palestinian nationals were / are still by and large not allowed into Lebanon
oh yeah its because they started the Lebanese civil war, won, refused to disarm, and were expelled from the country
crazy huh
Israel isn't an "Apartheid state," you're a moron who doesn't know the definition of that word.
Arabs constitute 20% of Israel - and enjoy full rights. They can vote, run for office, own property, and have been on the Supreme Court.
What do Jews get in Palestine? Or half the Arab world? Death.

Nevermind the fact that from the 1940s to the 1970s, over 800,000 Jews were, often by force, expelled from the Arab world.
As for why Palestine is isolated the way it is - well, it's because they sullied their relations with every Arab neighbor. The PLO started both the Jordanian and Lebanese civil wars. HAMAS supported the invasion of Kuwait, and were expelled when it failed. Then they fought against Assad in the Syrian Civil War, and had to flee their headquarters in Damascus. HAMAS supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Egypt's wall at Rafah has directly lead to a decrease in suicide bombings since its construction. So yeah it's a prison - locked from the inside.

HAMAS, isnt some noble force, you nonce. Their charter doesn't call for an end to oppression - it calls for the death of all Jews. If they wanted peace - they wouldn't have gone out of their way to target civilian infrastructure - while simultaneously telling their own Civilians to not evacuate.

No Palestinian government, be it the PLO. HAMAS, the PA, has EVER accepted a 2 state solution. No governing body has ever had an interest in acknowledging the existence of Israel. Most have been intent on it, and every Jew's total annihilation.
Finally - I agree that Israel should not cut off water to Gaza.
That being said - maybe Gaza wouldn't have that issue, if HAMAS and the PA focused less on killing Jews, and more on building infrastructure. When the EU gave them an entire irrigation system - they tore it up to build rockets.
