Notwithstanding the ICJ’s legal opinion, Isreal does not occupy Gaza. It forcibly evicted the last Israeli settlers there in 2005. Even the ICJ admits its definition of ‘occupation’ hangs on the fact that Israel ‘could’ exercise control over the territory if it wished, not that it actually does so.

Regardless of the above, you can play chicken and egg with this all the way back to 1947 and even earlier. Arguments built on arbitrary dates (1967 being a popular one) are inherently bad faith.
