77. People do not practice self-defense because they know that they will lose
Rather,they practice self-defense because they seek justice and/or freedom and/or independence, even if they will lose by attempting to gain such. Palestinians have every right and reason to attempt to become what Israel is using Israeli methods of violence or non-violence.

If Israel, being the occupied power, had used Rafah as the main point for the flow of goods in and out of Gaza, then this problem that we have today would not exist. Of course, it is not logical for the occupation power to use Rafah for the main flow of goods. It is only a matter of time for the main flow of goods to switch to Rafah and Karni must remain open most of the time until this switch is possible.
