So does Gaza still exist?

Or have Israel conquered it yet? I need confirmation on this.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FloodPsychologis [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ninjakenzen [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufLAitMq3zI]Get educated[/url] I'm tired of being labeled the bad guy in threads like this because you guys don't understand your history. You take bits, and then twist it to Israel's favor. The truth is, Israel is benefiting the most. You just see bad statistics on [u]both[/u] sides and look for the lesser of two evils. This is a complex situation, No doubt about it. But this BS about Israel being the boohoo victims is just BS. You can call me MIDF, whatever. I don't even conform to those labels. The fact that Israel exists is a major imbalance in the middle east. It stems from a brutal and racist ideology. That is very much not Jewish at heart. If anything it's the closest thing to modern day na.zism. The whole superior people, driving out race, etc. It's a ironic situation based on hypocrisy and history repeating itself. Quite frankly you either support Zionism or you don't. I don't. As a result, I believe in Palestinian solidarity.[/quote] It really isn't comparable at all to the supposed evil of the National Socialists even if you are completely objective about it and don't support either side. Roughly 20,000 dead over 60 years, no large-scale intended massacres. If you want genocide, look at Rwanda, or what the Ottomans did, or the Holodomor, that's in the hundreds of thousands and millions in a much shorter period. That's genocide. I support Israel in the same way I support Russians against the barbaric Chechnens. If these two nations were both white, they'd get along fine but Arab Muslims tend to be and hot-headed and often violent (I've dealt with them), so I don't really expect much out of any peace treaties. I bet if these were Kazakh Muslims they'd be having tea right now. [/quote]It is comparable in the sense that Zionism, like Hitler's ideology, looks to displace an entire nation so that another one can inhabit its place. Israel is doing this slowly by encroaching on land in the West Bank not administered by the Palestinian Authority and ensuring that when they get to the negotiating table, those settlements are covered in the famous 'land-swaps'. Surely, it's not like Hitler's mass murder machine, but the ends are the same. Furthermore, your assertion that Arab Muslims tend to be hot headed and violent because you've dealt with them is as stereotypical as saying all Jews are rich snobs. I've dealt with Arab Muslims too, very kind and welcoming people. The Palestinians are not barbaric, and Hamas it's not sure if Hamas represents most of Palestinians anymore because it's been so long since the last Palestinian elections. Even then, Hamas is not barbaric, it's a resistance force; when Israel, like Russia, speak of self-defense, they mean the kind of self-defense that occupying powers must enforce to maintain their occupied population oppressed. It's not like Hamas and its affiliates don't have cause to resist. Even then, while the violent resistance is logical, I don't support it. Civilians have been killed on both ends, and as long as both Israel and Hamas preach that there are no partners for peace, then the military-industrial complexes will reign and Palestine will continue to be pushed away until all of its lands become Israel. I hope that centuries from now, people will not talk about Palestine as they do now with the Native Americans.
