Because they are slimy Arab murders led by the mega exterminators of innocent women and children. They are not fit to reside near to decent people.. oh, and they're Muslim

That would be because they have a habit of nmudering jews when they get the chance.

What about the truth that no ME country has the time of day for Palestinians for the reason they export trouble wherever they go.Why is it only Pakistani Moslems beating this drum is it because they are also second class citizens in ME and want to curry favour with Saudi by attacking Israel?:

If we in Britain had on our doorstep a group of people whose aim was the destruction of our sovereign state and continuously fired rockets into Britain does anyone seriously believe that we would ignore it and allow them free access to Britain? Of course not.



Israel is a sovereign state - Palestine is not. When Israel was formed for the Jewish people, Jordan was formed for the Palestinians. They vowed the end of Israel and for of 60 years have waged war on Israel.



If they stop behaving like lunatics and become a civilised group perhaps they might end up with their own state. I would absolutely guarantee one thing - whereas the Israelis have transformed what was a desert into a lush and fertile land and developed Israel as the only technological country in the region, the Palestians would continue to be a rabble of scroungers.

Because Israel are unreasonably (and counterproductive for themselves) closing off all land borders with Gaza, and not allowing the Palestinian economy to grow.



Yes, the Palestinians voted for Hamas, but a population voting a government you dislike is not a reason to lock them in.

The Palestinians were given a special brand of democracy where they could vote anyone apart from Hamas, They voted Hamas and in the true nature of Democracy Israel turned Gaza into a concentration camp (which is not the same thing as a death camp). Hamas haven't helped matters much with terrorist attacks.

Where in international law does it say that a country is required to have a relationship next to it? Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Now, Gaza being a separate territory from Israel (although the situation still requires Israel to provide it with all its electricity and water), Israel has no obligation to let Gazans into Israel or anything from Israel into Gaza. A country is allowed to decide who and what comes through its borders (see: passports, customs protocols, etc.). Gaza shares a border with a Egypt as well, they could get everything they need if Egypt was willing to cooperate with them and help them (the Egyptian monarchy dislike Hamas, the terrorist organization which now controls Gaza, because they are an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which challenges the Egyptian government).



Think of it this way: If today, for whatever reason (immigration, drugs, etc,), the United States decided to close its borders to Mexicans and any good from Mexico, would that be illegal? Of course not. Mexico is a foreign territory, and the US can deny its people or goods if it wants to. Israel has simply closed its border with Gaza- and there is nothing illegal about it.



As a side note: there are just as many Palestinians living in Israel (about 1.5 million) as in Gaza. They live with Israeli passports, vote in elections, and have 14 representatives in the Israeli Knesset (Parliament).

Because they are a danger to civilised life form and are the builders of their own barbaric wall.

Israel will say that its because Hamas are firing Qassam rockets but there was a ceasefire in 2008 when no rockets were fired and yes Israel broke that also. If Israel had honoured that ceasefire there would be no rockets but I guess the blockade would continue. Israel are trying to drive out as many Palestinians so that they can occupy the whole of Palestine which is the reason that there are 350,000 illegal settlers now in the West Bank . Gaza is last on their list as they can and have bombed that at will.

The people of Gaza are 'blockaded' because the thugs that run Gaza are lunatics. Since you can't tell just who in Gaza IS a lunatic Israel has to keep a close watch on ALL the people who live there. Now if Hamas was to stop acting like kill crazy, religious nut cases, they could turn Gaza into another Hong Kong and instead of being poor they could join with Israel, the most technological country in the middle east and guess what...happy days are here again! Duh! Before Hamas got into the act tens of thousands Gazans crossed the border EVERYDAY to work in Israel. To avoid problems Israel even pulled all its Gazan settlements out a bunch of years ago. Instead of peace, commercial deals, and economic co-operation Israel got missile attacks...all thanks to the Hamas thugs. Now nobody is happy and nobody is safe and the people of Gaza have to live with the results of allowing Hamas to take over their 'country'. You get what you pay for!

The Jews are just letting all the little genocidal maniacs in Gaza know that they may as well forget it.

don't like it move its a terrorist state nothing more or less
2010-08-13 13:19:45 UTC
They (enough of them to win the election) voted to be governed by a terror organisation. As such, they are being treated as supporters of terrorism. We interned Germans and Japs during WWII and not a murmur.

Zionism is Satanic and bent on World War and World Government

Because yes, they voted in a 'terrorist' government. The term 'terrorists' here is very debatable though so I recommend you do your own research.

Because they won't live peaceably with their neighbours, so therefore to protect themselves the Israeli's had to build a barrier between themselves and the Gazans.



The wall is not there to confine the Gazans, it is there to keep them out of Israel and doing harm.



As to the sea blockade, it is necessary to prevent them from getting materials with which to build more bombs and amunition to use against Israel.



If they'd behave themselves they wouldn't be in the position they presently are.

Don,



The "Pals" HAD a chance of their own country to be created by UN vote. They sided with the local arab nations, instead, and waged war against the newly created Isreal, back in '48.



They had their chance, and they blew it.



Now it is THEIR turn to be landless outcasts for 2000 years.

NO PALESTINE NO PEACE...i support a two state solution

When you've been lobbing rockets at a neighboring country, sending in suicide bombers there, importing weapons from foreign countries, importing weapons by using "aid ships", and going on about how you're going to destroy that neighboring country, then maybe a blockade should be used. Maybe that government needs to realize how much suffering they are causing to their own people.
2010-08-13 15:30:08 UTC
Because the Israelis want their land.
