Israel is like Benjamin Linus

Who’s ready for the gas chambers!!

OK so you need to be a LOST fan to truly appreciate this but I will try.

Israel had placed Gaza under a blockade therefore breaking international law by using collective punishment (lets say only 1 in X is a terrorist, you cannot punish all of X for the acts of the 1). Then Israel claims to avoid a humanitarian crisis by letting fuel enter Gaza, but not enough to get the only power plant operational. The completely close the border causing 73 people to die waiting for medical treatment.

That led to this.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip - Tens of thousands of Palestinians poured from the Gaza Strip into Egypt Wednesday after masked gunmen with explosives destroyed most of the seven-mile wall dividing the border town of Rafah.

The Gazans crossed on foot, in cars or riding donkey carts to buy supplies made scarce by an Israeli blockade of their impoverished territory. Police from the militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, directed the traffic. Egyptian border guards took no action.

It is like John Locke (no not that John Locke but this John Locke) blowing up the submarine, which solved Benjamin’s problem. He cannot destroy the only way home, it would look bad. Ben is always one step ahead, making people think the choices they make are their own. The lives of people are simply chess pieces. 

Israel put in place a situation in which they manipulate the militants and the civilians populace like replaceable chess pieces. What does Israel want more than anything in this world but can’t actually do themselves for fear of looking bad? Mass emigration from the Gaza Strip into another country that is not Israel.  With less people in Gaza there is more chance to continue their ethnic cleansing of Bilad al-Sham.

Think about it, why would the Gazans go to Egypt instead of Israel (besides the Israeli policy of shoot anyone darker than snow)? Some reports claim that 350,000 people left Gaza to get groceries and other necessities. Imagine is 350K Gazans were to go into Israel, what kind of stir that would cause. But no, the people were controlled into doing something else.  

Perhaps it is too lighthearted to compare a TV show with a genocidal government. I mean the token arab on the show isn’t even arab. Perhaps its better, he will live longer that way.
