This is a pretty generous interpretation of what transpired. They withdrew their forces and instituted a 16 year long siege, turning Gaza, into what is widely decried as "the world's largest open-air prison". The living conditions (prior to this current bombardment) were so dire that the U.N. Secretary General described it as "hell on earth". In 2012, the U.N. issued a report warning that if Israel's policies didn't change, this area would become "unfit for human living by 2020". Israel limits their trade which has crushed their economy, leaving most of the population unemployed. And even before Israel bombed their hospitals and ambulances, there was already a full blown health crisis with inadequate supplies of medicine, and Israel denying travel permits to access life saving health care. Electricity only last a few hours a day because Israel limited the fuel going in. Most of their vehicles have had to be converted to run on cooking oil. Official documents from the files of Israel's defense ministry show that they even restricted food imports by calculating the number of calories per capita to keep it just slightly above the starvation level.
Should I talk about Israel's response in 2018 to the marches they held each Friday to end the siege?
