The Israeli army is only interested in wiping out terrorism. Unfortunately, many terrorist throw civilians into the line of fire, for the express purpose of affecting world opinion.
It is a very successful tactic.
Nobody did that, and the Gaza Strip is not part of Israel.
The people of Gaza attack Israel most days.
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).
The Gaza in the Samson story refers to the same Gaza of today. The Philistines were a coastal people who settled in what is today the Gaza Strip and some parts of Israel along the coast to the north of 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.
Gaza is a small strip of land located in the southwest corner of Israel on the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Egypt on the west of the strip.
No.
No. According to the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Gaza Strip officially belongs to the Palestinian Authority. It is currently occupied by the Hamas Paramilitary/Terrorist Group.
No, it has been blockaded by Israel.
Egypt and israel=]
Ironically, the Gaza Strip is the only territory in the entirety of the former Mandate of Palestine (Israel and the Palestinian Territories) that is not actually contested between the Israeli and Palestinian governments. Israel ceded significant control of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority in 1993 and subsequently gave it full control in 2005.The reason that there have been numerous wars in the Gaza Strip is because the Hamas government that currently rules over the Gaza Strip has a policy that peace with Israel is impossible and continues to lash out against Israel. If the Gaza Strip was more willing to behave peacefully with its neighbors (both Egypt and Israel), there would be fewer conflicts in the Gaza Strip. (Even Palestinians are getting tired of Hamas as can be seen in the parody of the "Thank You Hamas" videos.)
In a very distant way, Zionism is responsible for the existence of Israel. Without Israel, there would be a unitary Arab State in Palestine and therefore no blockade problem in Gaza. However, Zionism has no direct connection to the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
