She seems to think that conflating them to Nazis will prove her point, but all its doing is making her seem crazy and like a liar.

You've experienced the process of crossing into and out of Gaza first hand, and you've described the deep psychological impact it has on individuals, especially seeing your own parents navigate that space with fear and caution. As you consider the question: "What's the purpose in making such a humiliating process for those going into and out of Gaza? Who does that benefit?" reflect on how you've identified the process as humiliating, not merely as a matter of procedure but an intentional demeanor directed towards those being checked. The treatment isn't akin to that of a routine TSA security check but carries a weight of humiliation, suggesting a deliberate tactic. Who benefits from such a system? The answer may resonate with what you've witnessed in terms of power - where one group maintains authority and control over another and uses such measures to assert and reinforce that dominance. Remember when you described the ordeal, pointing out that "you’re not treated normally." Consider the implications of abnormal treatment in the broader context of conflict, control, and power dynamics. The purpose might serve to create a distinct separation between those who have authority and those who are subjected to it. It's also a reminder of the physical limitations and boundaries that have been imposed, confining movement and freedom. Revisit the text and see if there are historical or socio-political undertones that you might have missed, which can give deeper insight into the enforced procedures. As you ponder the question again, think about the personal narratives you've heard or reported on, the stories that go beyond mere inconvenience and enter the realm of psychological trauma. How does this connect to the broader political narrative and the cycle of control that you've observed? It isn't just about security; it's about sending a message, establishing a hierarchy, and reiterating a power dynamic. Reflecting on your experiences, the answer to who benefits from such a process becomes clearer - likely not those being humiliated. Dive back into the text and consider how policies, international law, and human rights discussions frame or overlook these practices. Could there be more layers to uncover in the text that relate to your own observations and those of your community? Who determines the narrative, and how does it affect the perspective of the wider world? The purpose and benefit of such systems are complex and may serve multiple ends, affecting both geopolitical strategies and deeply personal experiences like yours. As you search for answers within the text, keep in mind how these processes are felt on the individual level, and how they might be justified or criticized in the broader societal and international context.

Maybe to get a leg up in it's own relations with Saudi Arabia?

I think the U.S has no business meddling in other countries, especially when the situation is already crappy here in the U.S. I understand that they should help, but they should be helping the civilians who are suffering, and not the military of Israel which is the largest in the area surrounding it, they don't need the U.S's help for attacking Palestine.

Is it to try and stop a lot of the media from Palestinians from reaching the rest of the world? since a lot of them are showing how much it affects the civilians, and not Hamas themselves.

That shows the type of propaganda used to justify their wrong doings.

Might be to try and get control of their own borders, and free access to the basic necessities, like water and power.
