Israel-Gaza Violence Escalates, 4 Palestinians Killed

Israel did get of Gaza at one point, August 2005, (New York Times from 2005 titled, "Israel Lowers Its Flag in the Gaza Strip.)

After three months it was found that the land was being used by Hamas as a platform to launch rockets at Israel.

While i am as Pro-Palestine and agree that the country is indeed Palestinians and that they do indeed have the right to self defence you need to understand that the conflict can not be solved simply by getting out of Gaza.

I also agree people should stop complaining about the title

The Palestinians live in near apartheid like conditions, they cannot move about their own country without papers from Israel, they cannot feed their families because Israel cut their farms off from water supplies with the blast wall, Israel Soldiers have full authorization to kill Palestinians who have been ushered into the virtual cage that is the Gaza strip. After over a million heavily orthodox Jews from Russia moved into Israel in the past twenty years (into a coutnry of only 6 million already) they swayed the vote to Netayahu and his right wing extremist gov't. say what you want about who was right in this instance but the Palestinians only communicate through violence because the international community has given pause to their internal calls for peace. The longer the Israelis try to oppress the Palestinian people the logner their cause will be a rallying call for anti-semintisism across the region.

To Dylan Sommer from Vermont:
You are a complete ignoramus bigot on the following statement:

"After over a million heavily orthodox Jews from Russia moved into Israel in the past twenty years (into a coutnry of only 6 million already) they swayed the vote to Netayahu and his right wing extremist gov't."

Did you ever live in Israel? Obviously not, because you are fed only what the media is feeding you. Over 90% of the Russian people who emigrated were not only NOT orthodox Jews, but many of them were not even Jewish. Take the "Mertz" politicial party in Israel which is comprised of numerous ANTI-orthodox Jews and self proclaimed party of the Russian immigrants in Israel. I remember asking one non-Jew from the Russian "empire" in Jerusalem running a moving business how he learned Hebrew: He answered "its just like mathematics". Point being is the Russian immigrants to Israel thanks to almost 80 years of communist and athiest are ANTI-ORTHODOX. You wrote "heavily orthodox" in your statement, try having a clue before you continue the ignoramus anti-semitic nonsense, at least make a claim that has some half truth if you must be a bigot.

If it were announced how many Israel killed at a fancy, it would never have the backing it has today.

Maybe we need to re-examine the work "rockets". These seem more akin to "bottle rockets" than "missiles". Another excuse to slaughter innocent civilians. That's how Israel does business.

Remember that Israel illegaly besieged Gaza for many years now. Palestineans cannot live their daily life and they have to suffer everyday because of this. Do not act as naive as if the Palestineans have F-16 bombarding Israel.
There should be a solution for this rather than adopting such policies.
