The Israeli Government launched an attack on Gaza, called Operation Cast Lead, on December 27, 2008. This came after tens of thousands of rockets were launched into Israel during the Israeli-Hamas Armistice or Hudna.
Israel invaded the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip from December 2008 to January 2009.
The crisis is in the Gaza strip. Hamas (the domocratically elected terrorist government) has been throwing rockets at Israel, so Israel invaded Gaza and is killing a lot of people.
Nobody did that, and the Gaza Strip is not part of Israel.
There is no war between Gaza and Israel.
The map (see link below) shows a country called Palestine. Some Jews invaded in 1948 and changed the name to Israel. They took more and more land until there was just a small area called Gaza for the surviving Palestinians to live in. Israel didn't have Gaza first, Palestine had Palestine first.
Israel attempts to protect herself against terrorist organizations. Gaza is left alone by Israel, except when the terrorists in Gaza attack Israel. For example, today terrorists in Gaza launched over 50 missiles into Israel. When this happens, Israel usually tries to destroy the missile factories.
The usual in Israel; Judaism trying to survive, and Islam complaining when Israel doesn't feed the Gaza Strip (they were firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip).
A Hamas Government.Pretty much everything else you can find in Gaza exists in Israel.The reason that Israel is fighting against Gaza has to do with the belligerent attitude and activities of its government. Israel does not want the Gaza Strip to acquire the territory or the people.
There is currently no war in progress involving Israel and the inhabitants of Gaza.
The blockade of Gaza began when the Arabs started to fire rockets into Israel. So Israel decided that if the people of Gaza were going to be at war with Israel, People cannot go in or out. The blockade of Gaza is just that Israel doesn't allow people in or out, they alow food, medical supplies and everything else other than arms.
No.
