          IDF ships shoot anything that strays too far from the coast, and the guards don’t have to be in the cells to have people imprisoned

              laws? it’s internationally illegal, but that doesn’t matter, hence all the UN resolutions that Israel ignores.

              incidents? sure, here’s an article from a few years ago of an incident that got somewhat prominent outside the region, it’s just that no one cares if the IDF blows a few brown fishermen out of the water (hell outside the English publication of a few prominent Hebrew papers people wouldn’t even know that Netanyahu was aiding Hamas to stay in power)

      I see they have that little Egypt strip there … I do take your point and it’s a good one but I still struggle with the Germany france comparison. Maybe like luxembourg and Germany or France… or Avignon with the double pope – How about that?

      Or the Basques would be good if they ever had their own real country
