Do citizens of Gaza and the west bank have the same rights as Israeli citizens? (E.g. freedom to travel, right to work, right to vote)

So long as they don't and Israel refuses to recognise a Palestinian state where they can have those rights, Israel is an occupying power and has no grounds of self defense.

Palestinians under international law are free to shoot any IOF soldier on their land. Because under the internationally recognised borders, Gaza and the West Bank are not Israeli territory. So they are trespassing or occupying.

The blockade has been in place for 30 years. Great job Israel on stopping weapons. /S Time to try a different tactic.

That is the Israeli's current tactic.
