Sure:

"Actually, Israel has, through policy and violence, turned Gaza into an open air prison and the UN has legally affirmed the right of the oppressed to fight for freedom by any means necessary.

Israel's claim of self-defense is not valid under international law, since they are attacking an area they occupy militarily.

That way if they are interested in learning the truth then we make it easier for them. If they're not then there's nothing we can do but we shouldn't scare them off, that would be a disservice to the truth, especially when the mainstream framing of this situation is pro-Israel vs. pro-Palestine when the reality is pro-Israel vs pro-human-rights-and-international-law.
