    The Nazis played on Germans agrievement over how they were treated post WW1 to gain support, Gaza only ended up on the situation it is now because surrounding countries kept attacking Isreal over the last 70 years and lost land to them, then Hamas/the PLO/etc have played on similar agrievements to get themselves into the leadership position and have now lead them into a war.

      Just FYI, Gazans are refugees who were forced to the Gaza strip by… ISRAEL! Woohoo.

        Yes, war creates refugees, always has. Maybe all those surrounding nations that went to war with Isreal should have considered that.

        Yes, and when you do that, no journalists will chase you to scream, “BUT DO YOU CONDEMN ISRAEL?”

        No, not no culpability, but understandable reasons for what they’ve had to do for their own safety over the years.

            Seems to be the escalation was Hamas invasion of their country on Saturday from where I’m sitting.

      Israel didn’t exist there prior…

      They took land (rather, were given land by western empires that wasn’t there’s to give) and kicked out and killed those who were there. Yeah, that’s didn’t create any resentment at all I’m sure and it’s all the attacks that happened in response that caused it.

      Someone else can always be blamed. To act like Israel doesn’t share in the blame is probably one of the most ignorant statements I’ve heard.

        Actually, we did have the right to give out that land as we won it from the Ottomans.
