They did. It were the Palestinians who crossed the Gaza border and attacked, killed, kidnapped, beheaded, raped, and held Israeli and Americans hostage.
You cannot possibly be that obtuse, can you?
Israel entered into an agreement regarding where its borders lie. Israel has not upheld its end of the agreement.
Until Israel stays within its agreed upon borders, peace will never happen. Israel occupies Palestinian land. There will never be a solution to this problem, until Israel stays within its own borders.
Calling Palestinians terrorists and screaming Israel has to defend itself is the problem.
Hamas is not Palestine. Hezbollah is not Palestine.
Palestine is also not Israel.
Israel agreed to certain borders. Then it set up colonies and settlements and took over lands it agreed were not Israel’s. No peace plan will ever be possible anywhere if that happens.
Even North Korea has stayed inside its borders. They put up the DMZ, but stayed within the property line.
Thats the difference. Yes, Israel has a right to defend itself. And yes, I would expect to be murdered if I go to Palestine. So it’s not an easy situation.
Both sides have to stop the nonsense. And the terrorists have to go. They are just inciting conflict because that is their business. The only way to put that type of organization out of business is to not feed into the conflict.
(scratching head) Um . . . wouldn't that be because Hama raped and tortured and murdered their way through a region of Israel while launching thousands of rockets in a coordinated attack that was obviously years in the making by way of collecting resources and training their shock troops?
Try it this way . . . what would be the U.S.'s response if for some reason Canada did what HAMAS did. Canada would no longer exist as an independent nation. This is the record of history itself in regards to somewhat similar events.
Gaza never existed as an independant nation as Canada barely has while suckling mammary glands of France or England as a current commonwealth country with no Constitution. No?
The Palestinians of the Gaza strip purposefully handed governmental control over to the HAMAS terrorist organization which has been launching rockets into Israel proper for many years now while the rest of the world pretended that it was not happening.
The notion that you do NOT 'invade' the border after a raping, torturing, murdering raiding party on a massive scale -- plus over a thousand new rockets -- are set on your people, is simply going against the entire weight of history.
The Leftists of the United States trying to get Israel to hold to standards that they have NEVER insisted the United States hold . . . is just typical.
Yes. We’d destroy them. But we haven’t encroached on their borders.
It is subtle in the rhetoric, but for years, China has complained of this. And Israel is the example. They have constantly accused the U.S. and its “allies” of not respecting their neighbors’ borders.
As far as I know, Israel never upheld its end of the bargain.
The Ethnic Jewish people of Israel are people of Palestine, as are the couple million non-Jewish Mohamedans/Islamic/Muslims living peacefully as citizens of Israel, amongst their Jewish Neighbors.
That’s true. But it’s also true for the Palestinians. Who have been there since pre biblical times. And who were the target of the biblical equivalent of the “N” word, by being labeled “philisteens.” This type of racism takes thousands of years to correct.
The Philistines were just one ancient tribe who temporarily occupied the land around Gaza.
They were destroyed during the Bronze Age and they no longer exist, like the Midianites.
Read the book.
There is no way to address Israel/Palestine unless both sides stop blaming each other for the past 3,000 years to excuse themselves from responsibility.

For long term peace that is a fact but currently to get back to status quo Israel has got to knock this third reich shite off. And I don’t just mean the genocide attacking other foreign nations despite the warnings of everyone is alarming.
