No we don't. These are acts of war. We're at war with Palestine.
>The withdrawal from Gaza was also not some gesture of autonomy towards Palestine as you make it out to be.
I didn't say anything about motives. I said we took our soldiers and settlers out of Gaza. That is a material fact.
>Would you not say that China was occupying Taiwan, or at least doing something very very close to it?
I would say that China was blockading or besieging Taiwan, with which it was at war, and would apply the same terms for Israel's war against Gaza.
>It's also important to note that Israel itself does not recognize Palestine as a state, so it is very hard to see by what measure Israel could claim that it is at war with Palestine.
This is metaphysical special pleading.
