[Elder of Ziyon] Ibish shows his dishonesty again,

In a sarcastic article in Now Lebanon, Hussein Ibish tries to pretend that anyone who says Israel isn't occupying Gaza is delusional:

Israel continues to control Gaza's airspace, territorial waters, the entry and exit of people and goods (with the exception of the Egypt crossing), its electromagnetic spectrum, a "buffer zone" in which unarmed Palestinians are routinely killed, and deploys into all parts of the territory and withdraws at will. As a consequence, no impartial observer can or does doubt that occupation continues.

It is fascinating: At no point does Ibish bring forth a definition of "occupation." And no wonder. Because the definition is clear - and it shows that Israel is not occupying Gaza by any sane definition. (Saying the UN calls it "occupied" is not a sane definition.) And none of the example he brings has anything to do with the legal definition of occupation.
