Israel will continue to control Gaza's coastline and airspace and reserves the right to undertake military operations when necessary. (Art 3.1). Egypt will control Gaza's Egyptian border. Israel will continue to provide Gaza with water, communication, electricity, and sewage networks (Art 8); existing customs arrangements with Israel — under which imports from Israel to Gaza are not taxed, exports from Gaza to Israel are taxed, and Israel collects customs duties on foreign products entering Gaza—will remain in force and the Israeli currency will continue to be used (Art 10).
You said Gaza was granted independence. That's not independence. Independent nations control their coasts and airspace. How are you ignorant of this?
Nice attempt to weasel out of your clear statement against our Turkish allies.
There is no discrepancy: I fully condemn Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide and of Kurdish rights (though Erdogan seems to have gotten better on that front) and am inclined to support Kurdish independence. But this is irrelevant to the current situation.
When doing something wrong, "look, there's wrongness over there! don't look at me!" is not a valid defense.
