What did Israel gain by abandoning Gaza?

[Gauthier]

There's a difference, as I see it. Israel already occupied the areas it's trying to retake. It has no interest beyond that.

So you're going to pretend that Israeli settlers don't go around kicking out Palestinians from their homes with IDF support, homes which are outside of any territory that Israel supposedly occupies, taking their homes and using it for themselves?

Gotta love it when the Israelis act like a bunch of Serbs with American support and approval.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

I'd like to point out also that while the Palestinians aren't allowed to have their own sovereign nation, they are also not allowed to vote in Israeli elections. Isn't that nice?

Only three kinds of Palestinians in the Middle East: Cheap Labor, Terrorists, and Target Practice.

Don't forget 'collateral damage'.

That term is what the children are called, you know when schools are targeted by the Israeli military.

Yeah, but the artillery and missiles shot in the general direction of dozens of school children are only meant to kill the militant that was there and left twenty minutes prior. Clearly indiscriminate fire done by Israel is different from what the militants do because before launching their weapons, Israelis say out loud, "These are meant only to kill militants!" before launching them in the general direction of their enemies. That makes all the difference you see. *nod*

Ah I see, so that's where Hamas is going wrong.

The world would be much more accepting of them if they yelled out this first.

Absolutely, they must yell out, "These are meant only for Israeli military and military support structures" before shooting rockets at random. Had they been doing that the whole time, instead of rambling on about zionists, they'd be free people today. *nod*

Pics of what? Israelis shouting "These are meant only to kill militants"? What good would pics do? You'd need video or audio to get the full effect. *nod*

Fine. Moving pics. With audio. So there. *huff*

a reduction in the likelyhood of casualtys from 'friendly fire'.
which appears to be the only thing they intended by doing so.

[Nodinia]

. Israel may seem aggressive, but we have to remember that it is FIGHTING TO SURVIVE.

Please be as good as to explain how expelling farmers from their land, establishing semi-detached housing on that land and then offereing incentives for people to move there is linked to "FIGHTING TO SURVIVE".

If a pro-Nazi government took over parts of Ireland in 1940, what would you expect the British to do?

Fight a war.

They sort of stopped the ethnic cleansing thing after a few centuries.....

....emmmm...those areas were never part of the Israeli state.

Golan Heights, Shebaa Farms and East Jerusalem are actually integral parts of Israel

Golan and Arab East Jerusalem are not part of the Israeli state and are not recognised as being such. Where are you getting your information?
