'Israel grabbing any chance to sabotage Palestinian UN vote'

Hamas has announced it's pulling out from a de-facto ceasefire with Israel. The statement comes after two days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. More than a dozen Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, reportedly including children. Israel began its campaign following a series of terrorist attacks at the Egyptian border that killed eight Israelis on Thursday. Officials pinned the blame on a Gaza-based group called the Popular Resistance Committees for the incident. Following the first air strikes, Palestinians responded by launching more than 20 rocket attacks. The rise in tension comes less than a month before a vital UN vote on the recognition of the Palestinian State. Gaza-based political analyst, Dr Hani Al Basoos, thinks Israel wants to sabotage the vote and divert attention from recent domestic unrest.

A PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW:Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so! Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts,as we love Israel with all of ours.! Let's teach each other how to win non-zero sum games. We are both great nations-let us never forget this!Let us nurture peace with both our enemies and our friends, and recognize that they are a mirror...reflecting light unto the nations

@Ahmedmega10000

jews lived in the region before there was such thing as islam,it is impossible to deny we have a bigger connection to this land

[Ahmedmega10000]

@Nubiex7 Yeah that's like saying just because you didn't see UFOs it doesn't mean they don't exist.

And never forget, Jews are Egyptians, Judaism started from EGYPT, Jews have no more historic rights for the Holy lands (Palestine or Israel) than Palestinians, who are Arabs (while Egyptians are Arabs too that means Jews and Palestinians are of the same nationality so the war is based on RELIGIOUS intolerance)

@Nubiex7

[Nubiex7]

@KhmerD0g

the expanding has absolutely no meaning if we have no one to talk to

also,as i said before,when we gave up territory in 2005 we got thousands of missiles in return.so we might as well build right above them so they will stop screwing with us

@Nubiex7

Just as I expected things coming from u. U claimed u want peace and yet u prevent peace to proceed by expanding settlements. It is like George Bush claimed he is a peace loving guy and yet bombed other countries.
