Although Israel had the right to use force in Gaza, it had no right to target civilians, believes Michael Sfrad, Israeli expert in international human rights and humanitarian law.

Israel fully intended to enjoy normal economic relations with Gaza after it left, as evidenced in part by the facilities built along the border for precisely this purpose.

The border was open.

Then Hamas was elected to govern. The Quartet (the US, UN, EU and Russia) applied three simple

conditions: Hamas must recognize Israel, renounce violence, and abide by previous agreements.

Hamas refused all three, and instead chose to launch rockets, missiles and mortars at Israeli towns.

" PLEASE...PLEASE GET ISRAEL TO STOP BEATING US UP "

and the UN would say: " ISRAEL , STOP BEATING-UP THE ARABS "

Once before the Neila prayer on Yom Kippur Rabbi Avraham Yoshe Freund of Mansod said:

"It is not because they are Zionists that they are evildoers. It is because they are evildoers that they are Zionists."

Not via our desire did we leave the land of Israel, and not via our power will we come back to the land of Israel.

[Zionists] want a state in order to make Jews into heretics.

Its funny that internationally it is reconized as palistinian. Even the maps I look at show it to NOT be israel territory. And the fact that they destroy hospitals. Must not be israeli hospitals. Then must mean that the property in gaza is palistines. As with [in the meantime] listening to that only confirms your willingness to commit crimes and atrocities to expand your occupation. I dont feel a bit sorry if they kill the whole lot of you. IF you cant respect thier rights. Expect likewise.

No it's not, but Jordan, Libya, Saudi, Egypt, Syria , Lebanon is all Muslim Land - [in the meantime]

[Squirelbutt]

Is gaza not palistinian territories? What right does the jews have to occupy them too.

[AaronHai1]

Must i repeat everything FIVE Times?!

They destryed 2,000 Jewish homes - then handed the entire area over to the MUSLIMS

[Squirelbutt]

Since Gaza was bombed by israel who destroyed those homes? then really?

[AaronHai1]
