Jewish historian Zachary Foster discusses the details of Gaza in the early 2000s after the second intifada when Israel withdrew its settlers and imposed a complete siege on Gaza surrounding it from land, air and sea like a closed prison where the key is thrown out. We discuss Operation Cast Lead, Operation Protective Edge, The Mavi Marmara incident, The March of Return, the War of 2021, and what happened on October 7th 2023. This is a detailed discussion with an expert on the facts on the ground in Gaza over the last two decades. Understanding this history is vital to understanding what is going on currently.
