GOOD comment.
I dont think it was really intented that much as a gaza analog (france is famed for fashion, and belgium/italy was famed for textiles). Although its possible since arab countries were cited as an inspiration for ghorman architecture and in general imperialists play by similar playbooks.
we have conservative trekkies and maga fans of rage against the machine; i suspect that any comparison to gaza will be lost by very large swathes of people watching andor.
They think its trump and the rebels are "leftists" aka democrats. Go on
and see, its psychological damage reading the takes there.I think Ghorman has a mix of inspirations. I think its main character is different from Gaza, however, and in ways that matter.
I think OP is referring to "genocide" part of things and not the resistance side of things.
Outside actor decides "we want the stuff in your planet", parks soldiers all over the place, interrupts the daily lives of the citizens in hundreds if not thousands of different ways. This creates friction, discontent, among the population towards the visible agents of the invaders. Every time the local population steps out of line or acts out from this frustration the invading force ratchets up the pressure.
More soldiers, more patrols, checkpoints start going in, more supply lines start going through the areas which makes it harder for the locals to travel on roads or get to where they are going.
More frustration, more instances of acting out, occupation forces increase pressure. Propaganda arm reports all instances of the locals speaking out or acting out in ways that paint the locals in a bad light, that the occupiers are the victims.
Eventually, things move to open fighting and then the genocide can happen out in the open.
Ghorman massacre reminded me a lot of the tlatelolco massacre that happened in Mexico
