In short, the logic is clear, the amount of man hours dedicated to terrorist activities is objective, saying the Israelis intend to stifle the Palestinians is analysis.
Such a strawman ... I never said anything about Israel's intentions.
And frankly, you're being ridiculous. Whatever Israel's intentions are, blockades are stifling, putting fences through people's land is stifling. Are you really prepared to argue otherwise?
Again, it's your prerogative to argue that Israel is justified in their actions, but when you try to make it so that even stating facts is equivalent to attacking Israel, all you're doing is "stifling" debate.
By the way, the net effect of Israel's actions on Palestine's economy is objective as well. The idea that your side's pain is objective and everyone else's is "analysis" is ... unfortunate.
> blockades are stifling, putting fences through people's land is stifling. Are you really prepared to argue otherwise?
I never argued otherwise. It can be argued that Israel doesn't have a choice, for the reasons of self defense, but to implement security measures which happen to be harmful to the Palestinian economy, effectively absolving Israel of any responsibility of the economic effects and placing it on groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. The point is, talbina put the blame on Israel (implicitly), even though that's just typical one-sided analysis that adds nothing to the discussion.
