Prometheus,
1. Historic revionism, 2012, really?
For starters:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_people
2. The occupation refers to the partition plan which is the lines recognized in international and by world.
3. Blockade is an act of war and is illegal. Blockade on human goods (food, medicine) is not legal.
4. No a state must let through humantarian ships. Of course Israel will deny any humantarian ship which tells us two things, 1. the inhumane view 2. the false argument that they stop the ship for weapons, they know perfectly well there is no arms on these boats. They just do it to upheld the myth.
5. Compared to israel government palestinians have recognized 2 states for 2 people just like world community. Israel simply doesnt want peace and therefore try to preserve the status quo.
-
I think you have read too many biased repoarts about the conflict and therefore act in shock when approached with facts.

Here we go again.
1 – Palestinians have never existed. There is no “palestinian” history, language, culture – anything that could actually be used to describe a nation.
2 – There never was an occupation of the “palestine” because the term “occupation” mean that State A occupies (part) of State B. Since there never was a nation of “palestine”, let alone the State of “palestine”, the occupation is technically impossible.
3 – Blockade of a hostile entity is perfectly legal.
4 – Any vessel trying to breach blockade must be stopped and searched. Those resisting must be dealt with accordingly.
5 – Blockade must remain until people of Gaza choose to live in peace. If they choose not to – they will face the consequences.

“maritime quarantine” = blockade

Which if it is not occupation is an illegal act of war.

Kolumn9,
1. Gaza is under occupation according to the international community. Even the US admits this. Israel have control over every border whetever it is land bordering, airspace and naval. Thats a occupation. By position soldiers inside of Gaza or 6 ft outside the border doesnt make any impact.
2. Its a blockade, likewise recognized by world community, this is illegal since collective punishment is forbidden.
3. Yes its palestinian territory and again according to international law and world community this is the foundation of a palestinian statehood.
4. You make no sense on this one.

JJJ what Arabs ? I didnt call for the expulsion of those illegal immigrants and their descendants .Why Gaza is a “hostile” territory ? maybe because of the state terrorism of Isghael ….maybe ,how come pipes (used in manufacturing primitive missiles)are allowed into the strip by Israel ?If its about security (as they claim) there are several ways to lift the blockade and allow a normal life in Gaza , but the real purpose is to keep Palestinians living in misery and poverty ,people must be kept preoccupied with what are they gonna eat tomorrow and how to save 10$ for the next week.

@Jack
1) Hahahahahahaha. If you want to pretend that Gaza is occupied even though there are no Israeli soldiers there and Gaza has international borders not under Israeli control, go ahead, but reality as well as the current rulers of the Gaza Strip disagree with you. But keep on telling yourself and anyone that listens that it is occupied. You need to do that because the rest of the world has already forgotten about that place.
.

2) There is no blockade on Gaza. There is a maritime quarantine whereby good must be searched before being allowed in to prevent heavy weapons from getting in. In either case, the border with Egypt is not at all under Israeli control.
.

3) Hahahaha. You are just getting funnier. There is unity between Gaza and the West Bank. Tell me another one. When was the last time Abbas visited Gaza? (answer: 2007). The president of the Palestinians hasn’t been to Gaza in 5 years. Yep, clearly there is unity.
.

4) Hence the title of the article is retarded.

“…illegal (Jewish) immigrants…”

1) The vast majority of Jews residing in Israel today are either people born in Israel, or people who were born in the surrounding Muslim and Arab world and who arrived in Israel as refugees after having been expelled by the Arab states, from North Africa in the west, to Iraq in the east, after Israel’s proclamation.
2) We, Jews, don’t consider going home to Israel as immigration. We ascend to Israel, the national home of the Jewish people for the past 4,000 years. And, the highest point of ascending for us is to do so to Zion, also known as Jerusalem, the eternal spiritual center and capital city of the Jewish people and its sovereign state of Israel.

@Palestinian:
What illegal immigrants? Arabs?
What’s your call? Expell all Jews back to their pre 20th century places?

Gaza is a hostile territory actively working against Israel’s existence. To lift the so-called blockade is akin to arming them with missiles.
Fact is Gaza is maintained as a missile launch site.
Were it to declare end of hostilities, poof, no more “blockade” at least from the Israeli side.
But then, that would mean letting Israeli’s live peacefully, which is an impossible notion, is it?
