The media as usual have convinced the masses that Israel has nothing to do with Gaza.
Israel controls Gaza with a ring of steel. It could be said that Gaza was an Exercise in how to control large numbers of people. The Same happened here in Northern Ireland and senior Security people are now selling their knowledge to other countries. A large proportion of American Airport Security is carried out by Israeli Companies. Brutalize people and then profit from the brutalization, who cares? |

This is more "our"problem than Afghanistan or Iraq actually. This will directly impact the U.S.in the worst way due to the fact that Iran wants Israels *** baaad. Screw the U.N. and the Amnesty fools. Do they really think Iran cares about them? Israel is the size of what...Rhode Island? And they are surrounded by countries who want them wiped out. Damm right they should stop that "aid" to Gaza. They've already proven that weapons are trying to get through. However Israels military is bad-asss. Only ONE plane hijacking in their history. They don't play and who can blame them? Screw the U.N. and the Amnesty fools??? I agree with you That Gaza/Palestine is Americas problem or more to the point................ Israel is Americas Problem |

The Gaza Strip acquired its current boundaries at the cessation of
fighting in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, which was confirmed in the Israel-Egypt Armistice Agreement on 24 February 1949.[5] Article V of the Agreement declared that the demarcation line was not to be an international border. The Gaza Strip continued to be occupied by Egypt. At first Gaza Strip was officially administered by the All-Palestine Government, established by the Arab League in September 1948. Since the dissolution of the All-Palestine Government in 1959 and until 1967, the Gaza Strip was directly administered by Egyptian military governor. In 1967, Israel occupied it following the Six-Day War. Pursuant to the Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1993, the Palestinian Authority was set up as an interim administrative body to govern Palestinian population centres, with Israel maintaining control of Gaza Strip's airspace, all but one of its land borders and territorial waters, until a final agreement could be reached. As agreement remained elusive, Israel unilaterally disengaged from Gaza in 2005. The Gaza Strip is one of the territorial units forming the Palestinian territories.[6][7][8][9] Since July 2007, following the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and the following Battle of Gaza, Hamas has functioned as the de-facto ruler in the Gaza Strip, forming an alternative Hamas Government in Gaza. The Israel Defence Forces left the Gaza Strip on 1 September 2005 as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, and all Israeli citizens were evicted from the area. An 'Agreement on Movement and Access' between Israel and the Palestinian Authority was brokered by Condoleezza Rice in November 2005 to improve Palestinian freedom of movement and economic activity in the Gaza Strip. Under its terms, the Rafah crossing with Egypt was to be reopened, with transits monitored by the Palestinian National Authority and the European Union. Only people with Palestinian ID, or foreign nationals, by exception, in certain categories, subject to Israeli oversight, were permitted to cross in and out. All goods, vehicles and trucks to and from Egypt had to pass through the Israeli crossing at Kerem Shalom, under full Israeli supervision.[19] Goods were also permitted transit at the Karni crossing in the north. Contrary to the misleading title of this thread, there is no "blockade" of Gaza. Goods are permitted under Israeli supervision except for weapons and goods which are expected to be used for terrorist purposes. Israel is trying to prevent or limit the number of rocket attacks, kidnappings and terrorist infiltrations from Hamas in Gaza but humanitarian aid and food have always been permitted. ![]() Once again it is all in the Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip |
