Oh damn Canada is a prison too, someone controls the border and I can leave but there is a border there so it's a prison!

Yup and if Israel were the ones to start a conflict and civilians die as a result of the combatants being targeted they would hold responsibility. Crazy how that works right? The difference is Israel doesnt target civilians and Hamas primarility targets civilians.

It's not collective punishment, casualties are a fact of war. When combatants use their fellow countrymen as meat shields civilians die too. If Israel were to target civilians intentionally you might have a point but right now your grasping at straws.
