Can't really say why. Must be a combination of things. There is oil, gold or uranium under Gaza.

People don't like Hamas?

Who knows?

The British mandate held the area, populated by Jews and Arabs. After WWII, many more Jews bought more land in the area and moved in. Now, the British gave control of 90% of the British Mandate of Palestine to Arabs, and it became modern Jordan.



At some point later, the Jews declared independence and founded Israel. There were still many Arabs in Israel area. Several neighbour Arab countries planned to destroy Israel, and they warned the Arabs in there. Some fled, hoping to return after the fighting is over, and some stayed. Now, Israel won this war and denied return to those who fled.



The ones that fled are the modern day Palestinians. The ones that stayed are Israeli Arabs and they are doing just fine. The Palestinians are currently ruled by Hamas, a terrorist organization bent on destruction of Israel. Since they don't even accept Israel's right to exist, no diplomacy is possible.

Prior to 1967, Egypt occupied Gaza; she mined the borders so that the Palestinian Arabs were stuck there, left to languish in the camps, where they garnered world sympathy.



Not one country condemned Egypt.



Then, in 1967, when Egyptian troops gathered at the border with Israel, and war ensued, Israel got Gaza as she pushed back the Egyptian army.



Israel never wanted Gaza; but no other country wanted it either!



Israel is no longer in Gaza; she pulled out and the Palestinians promised: no more terrorism if they could just have self rule.



Their first act: to elect terrorist group Hamas as their government. Hamas has openly stated it will NEVER recognise ANY Jewish state.



The Hamas Charter is a chilling document; it calls for the total destruction of Israel and the death of every Jewish person living there.



For seven years, Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups have been busy firing rockets into Israel, from Gaza. These missiles are maiming and killing Israelis on a daily basis, aimed as they are at civilians.



What other country on our planet would just sit by for seven years and do nothing?



Yet when Israel finally REacted last month, the world screamed 'unfair' at her. Talk about hypocrisy.



Israel = 0.01% of the Middle East.

Oh God. That is a never ending conflict. Personally, I don't care if Israel or Palestine exists. I just recognize the right of everyone to live a good life regardless of religion or ethnicity.



No one has any right to deny the other a good life.



As Israel has a much more powerful military, I would say that is the money behind those weapons they use. Someone's making a lot of money out of that.



We don't need large investments in defence to fight Islamic extermists. Its actually not that hard as they make it appear. Fighting Islamic extremists requires social and political dialogue.

yes it is a holy war.the Nile river splits the two banks you 've heard of the. banks represent the sacred ground at which Jesus walked..walk on water was the Nile river..one side of the river claims the Jesus theory (never been proven factual) the other side make their claim. as a result the bitter clash of who owns the sacred ground..Israel Jesus Christ theory was born, Jerusalem city of holy water was born because of this a con flick of interest in religion was,will be,and always will be a holy war..man undeciseabaly needs faith to exist

No i can't. yet i will wager how their lives would be. exceedingly very similar to a colored toddler born in Soweto, South Africa, for the time of Aparteid, yet a procedures, a procedures worse. The South African protection tension on no account carpet bombed extensive sections of the colored inhabitants, as perpetrated via Israel in Gaza. people have been segregated via regulation, yet they on no account built 8 meter severe partitions to enforce this. the homes of colored people have been on no account destroyed via the masses, as blended punishment of the lots. colored aspects have been on no account enclaved, nor did they ever submit to siege circumstances. Why do you ask this query ? might you pick for to be born there ? in case you have been, might you, merely perchance, help the firing of rockets at your agressors ? might you attempt to withstand this onslaught, this torment ?

I think it is land that the Israelis seized from Jordan during some war in the past forty years, the Arabic (muslim) people who have always lived there have been displaced and oppressed by the israelis who are Jewish and have responded with violence and the Israelis have responded with violence and more oppression, The Israeli army is more or less a branch of the US army, which is why Arabs and there supporters the world over hate the US and her allies.

The Year: 6666



Americans are returning to their desolate homeland New York from Canada and all over the world. What used to be USA 3000 years ago is now occupied by Canadian states. But the Canadians are not satisfied. They want New York too.



China, the world super power is about to abandon New York to the Canadians. China promised both the Canadians and Americans that New York would be the reward for help in the Chinese-European War.



Millions of Americans ship in to through Staten Island to join their fellow Americans, but the double-headed Chinese blockade the harbour and detained most Americans from landing in New York. 600 million Americans were annihilated by the Europeans in their unfathomable desire to eliminate every American from the face of the planet.



Chinese police ban weapons from the hands of Americans who are already in New York.

New York is a desolate country. Europe, China and Canada abandoned it. Only five cities were sparsely populated. Meanwhile, Canadians are abruptly emigrating into this once abandoned backwater country. So while the Chinese blockade American emigration, they turn a blind eye to Canadian emigration into New York.



American resourcefulness manage to hide weapons from Chinese police personnel stationed in New York. Americans declare independence from China. Various Canadian governments jointly attack and the Americans with the help of some nomadic Canadians repel the enemies.



Year 6670:

The various Canadian states attack New York again. Americans again beat them back and captured New York City, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland-Delaware.



Year 6700:

In an act of goodwill, Americans return Massachusetts to the Canadian Republic of Montreal.

However, the Montreal Republic nor any other Canadian government wants anything to do with Connecticut or Maryland-Delaware.



Mexico, a close ally of China, has risen to be the sole world super-power. Most Mexicans are keen to help Americans in their struggle against the Canadians. But their help is expensive because Mexicans believe that John Wayne is the way, the truth and the life.



Mexicans' willingness to help Americans stem mostly from their desire to see the fulfilment of John Wayne's prophecy that "Americans will never abandon America", which will usher in the 2nd coming of John Wayne. And then all Americans will one day accept John Wayne as "the King". "Nay" say the Canadians. All Americans will and must accept Elvis as "the King", or else, they must be exterminated.



Year 6750:

Maryland-Delaware and Connecticut form a Canadian Union of New England to oppose the Americans and call for the return of "New England refugees" into New York. "Historically, America has never existed as a unified state. This region had always been referred to as New England. Americans had never really existed as a people." the Canadians declare.



After thousands of years of American exile in diaspora, the 2nd WTC had been destroyed. The Empire State building has crumbled and on its site stands the holy Canadian temple of Elvis.



Americans have a song,



By the rivers of Rio Grande

And there we sat and we cried

When we remembered thee Manhattan!



However, the Mexicans have a song called Fernando the American,



Can you hear the drums fernando?

Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the rio grande?

I can see it in your eyes

How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land



Americans wish to rebuild the WTC and Empire State but the ethnic Canadians declare that "There is no historical evidence that WTC or Empire State buildings had ever existed. Beat it!" To rebuild WTC and Empire State is to spark world-wide Canadian outrage, if not the tenth world war.



Somehow, the New England Union broke up into factions. Their supposed leader is Elvis Ararat. He is corrupt. He is dying. Even though, he called New England his homeland and New York City the fourth holiest home of Canadians, he chose to die in France rather than in Delaware.



A civil war breaks up between the Red Sox and the Steelers sects of the New England Union. The Red Sox sect over-ran the authority of the Steelers.



The Red Sox sect of Connecticut are hurling Nutmeg class missiles into the eastern cities of New York. Red Sox will not relent until New York City is captured and every American is pushed into the Atlantic ocean.



Meanwhile, the Chinese whose grandparents had created this debacle, self-righteously criticise the American harsh response to the Nutmegger rocket fire. Most of the Chinese and Chinese media self-righteously turn anti-American and refuse to take responsibility for a condition created by their grandparents. In fact, a small minority of Chinese believe a Chinese Keltic ancestry myth where Chinese Kelts were the actual chosen people of America.



Notwithstanding, the Europeans join in the chorus of criticism against the Americans.

There are two wars right now: between the Hamas and Fatah factions -- which are both Palistinian organizations vying for power over Gaza.



And also between Hamas and Israel, since Hamas continues their terrorist tactics of launching rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas.



Mighty Ra: No, Gaza was land taken from Egypt not Jordan, in a pre-emptive strike, when it became clear that an invasion of Israel by Egypt was imminent. (Like Germany prior to invading France, Egypt started massing troops in a non-militarized "buffer zone" along Israel's border).



A few years ago Israel withdrew from Gaza, allowing Palestinians to rule themselves. They promptly elected Hamas, a terrorist organization to be their government.



(I don't defend the many deplorable acts of Israel, by the way. Their targeting of civilian targets in the Lebanon was akin to state-sponsored terrorism.)
