The Israelis have not withdrawn from Gaza. "The Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory (the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip) is in its fifth decade and the undercurrent of violence and inherent abuses of fundamental human rights and disregard for international law inherent in any long-standing military occupation is presented by both sides." (Amnesty International)The Hamas party won the democratic election ten years ago, since when Gaza has been under siege by the Israelis..Hamas is the democratically elected government of Gaza.So you think Hamas would spare them?
WRONG they were part of the democratically elected governeent until they decided to take over as dictators. They have refused to allow the people the right to vote and try to blame it on the Jews
You are rewriting history.
WRONG in August 2005 Israel withdrew from gaza and have not had any control over it since. The blockade is legal and it is hamas that is putting gaza under siege by closing the border crossing on the gaza side. Any idiot that can use a search engine can find out the truth at any time.
Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories
Unprecedented death and destruction?? To the Gaza strip?? Do they forget the attacks on Israel over the decades by the Soviet and Jew hating proxies? Of course it was a tragedy that Hamas embedded itself in the civilian population. Many innocents died because of their battle plan.
