I don't like terrorism, either. But, that's all they've got. More importantly, the government of Palestine has worked to eliminate terrorism. The direction that Abbas has taken is one of insisting that negotiation is the ONLY legitimate approach. Therefore, he has cooperated with Israeli security forces in reducing terrorism and has applied to the UN and other institutions that show some likelihood of moving the situation toward peaceful resolution. His unity government required negotiation to be the ONLY direction, and he got Hamas to sign that and become minority members of his unity government. The unity government would have taken over important Hamas revenue streams such as the fees for border crossings and the unity government would become responsible for the aid and other programs that Gaza has in order to help civilians. That would have been a crushing blow to Hamas, as Hamas would no longer be well funded and would not be the entity working on the betterment of the people. Of course, Israel HATED that direction, and killed it.
This is just plain nonsense. And, you know it. You can't blockade a country (an act of war), steal their land and water rights, bulldoze their homes, and then suggest they are at fault for not having a thriving economy. Gaza would be wealthy if it had its rightful access to its petroleum reserves. Instead, Israelis shoot them if they fish their internationally recognized waters.
Gaza is NOT a country. Nobody steals Gazan's land ! What BS . Is that what they teach in Arab schools ? Gazans are ruled by a terrorist orginazation.. and by supporting Hamas you truly hate the Gazans. Next.
Please reread and note that I didn't say anything about Israel stealing land in Gaza. And, the country name is Palestine, not Gaza. Gaza is a region of Palestine. Please note that I have pointed out the problem of Israel blocking the formation of a unity government by Abbas, one of the few possible approaches to ending Hamas leadership in Gaza. BUT, Israel was opposed to that, and worked to make this solution fail. So, your accusation about me liking Hamas has NO founding. You should read my posts.
I googled the issue .. couldn't find a country called "Palestine". To my opinion Gaza is a region of Egypt. I wonder why Egyptians hate Gazans so much .. aren't them blood brothers ? Why Arabs hate Palestinians so much ? https://besacenter.org/do-arabs-hate-palestinians/
Re: I hitch hiked and walked around the Middle East for 10 - 11 months and saw no evidence of hatred toward the Palestinians . The most vitriolic hatred toward Palestinians is reflected in your innumerable defamatory comments. What have the long tormented Palestinian people done to you to fill you with so much nearly hysterical hatred? Thanks,
I do not believe you could possibly be that bad at googling. When I google "state of Palestine" I get 500,000,000 hits. Also, when the UN refers to Palestine, its documents read "state of Palestine" Also, Palestine has foreign relations with 140 states that recognize Palestine as a state. Also, your Israeli screed is preposterous political nonsense.
Actually if you Google "Palestine", this is the first result: "Palestine, officially the State of Palestine, is a state located in the Southern Levant, Western Asia. Wikipedia".
It's up to King Hussain ... but it seems he doesn't want it. We all know what his father did to the so called Palestinians
