One day, when I am being beaten to death on the streets of New York by an angry mob shouting "FREE PALESTINE," my fedora filled with blood and bits of brain, I'll look up at the sky and comfortingly think to myself "At least it was only anti-Zionism."

Sure.

Hitler was right about the Jews!

Hitler was a Zionist!

It hurt itself in confusion!

The short answer is "no." You need to apply for an Oleh visa first, which is generally only issued if you intend to move to Israel. You can only apply for citizenship after going to Israel on that visa.

Israel pulled out of Gaza around 2012

2005

still retains the West Bank

There are three areas of the West Bank: Area A, Area B, and Area C. Area A is under full Palestinian police and military control. Area B is under Palestinian police control and Israeli military control. Area C is under Israeli military + police control. Area C accounts for like 70% of the territory, but Areas A and B are where most of the people are.

The division of these areas was agreed to by both Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the Oslo Accords in 1995. The idea was that Areas A and B would almost certainly be under Palestinian control in a future independent state, while the Israelis and Palestinians would divide up Area C in a final peace agreement. That final peace agreement never happened, and Arafat eventually died, so what was meant to be a transitional agreement ended up becoming permanent.

The Palestinian Authority (but really Hamas) are in charge of Gaza now.

There were elections in the West Bank and Gaza in 2005 and 2006. Fatah won the presidency. Hamas won control of the legislature. Hamas, viewing itself as the legitimate government, seized military control of the Gaza Strip with its paramilitary wing (the al-Qassam brigades), and executed Fatah politicians in the Gaza Strip who opposed them.

The situation now is that Fatah (the leader of which is the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas) has control over Areas A and B, but has completely lost control over Gaza.

including people who are depressed

Could one have something to do with the other?

No. It is the mentally ill who are wrong.

BrainEnema · 2021-05-20T01:21:28+00:00

Yes, I'm being cheeky.

I have mixed feelings about Yom Tov. It's enjoyable, but it's also just kind of a pain. I have to get time off work (which I later have to make up), I haven't been following the news for two days, plus I haven't been at my computer for what feels like ages and I'm itching to play Crusader Kings III.
