Seamen’s edit of Tailz text reads: Israel opened the borders (not completly but it was hell better than what they would get now), rockets kept flying thus Israel stuffed around with opening and closing the border crossings
That’s a bit of a straw man, but I’ll reply anyway. The agreement was for open border crossings – not open sometimes, or better than what it was, but open border crossings. Israel didn’t honour the agreement to open the borders; Hamas didn’t feel it was obliged to honour the ceasefire. Ultimately the ceasefire was over the border crossing, Hamas needed to provide incoming supplies and material for its people. Thus the whole focus of the ceasefire was the opening and smooth flow of material via the border crossings – the Israeli’s knew this. But that still stuffed around with the border crossings and Hamas launched rockets - the act they had promised not to engage in, in return for open borders – they didn’t launch rockets over the destruction of the smuggler tunnels, or the navy ships shelling the beach (although some non-affiliated groups did), but the issues over the opening closing and smooth flow of supplies through the border crossings did get them launching rockets.
You’re just trying to change events to legitimise the party you support. Heck, both sides really screwed the ceasefire agreement. Israeli warships were shelling the Gaza beach in the first 5 minutes of the ceasefire agreement! And Hamas had tunnels under the border.
So please stop trying to cover the proverbial Zionist ass and displace blame.
Seamen wrote: Because, thier trading threaten Israeli lives and thus Israel should not allow them to do so
Again, a double standard, especially since the Israeli trade in American made weapons has resulted in an almost 10 fold difference between Palestinian lives lost compared to Israeli lives lost – this in no way legitimises the deaths on ether side – but restricting “their†trade because Israeli lives are at risk when Palestinian lives are risked because of Israeli trade is a double standard.
Seamen wrote: Well I am going to end this "Israel stole Palestinian land and should give it back immediatly" and "Palestinians only fight because Israel stole their land" bullshit
Like it or not, Palestinians have lost land and property to Zionists, and still continue to do so. Jews and non-Zionist Jews in the region lost land and property because of the resentment against Zionism in surrounding Arab/Muslim societies.
That is a simple reality of the history of this conflict.

Your narrative is partially correct and partially incorrect - obviously you’re focusing on only the elements that help support your point of view of the situation and the conflict history. It is a rather common version of events threaded together into a patchwork history to perpetuate Israeli, and ultimately Zionist innocence. I write Zionist as in the beginning, Zionism was not widely supported by the general Jewish population. Thus the seeds of this catastrophe are not of Jewish design, but Zionist design - as Zionism is not an existential part of Judaism or those who collectively labelled themselves as Jews.
Even though I doubt you will listen, I’ll take a moment to add a few words to try and fill in some of the blanks in your partial history of the conflict.
The palestinians had most of Israel back in 1948, they could have peace and spare all this 60 year conflict. But what could you expect them to do? One day (!) after the UN declare Jews right to establish a country in Israel the Palestinians started riots and killing of Jews.The roots of the conflict stretch further back than 1948. In fact the UN vote to accept the partition and creation of the state of Israel was pre-empted by David Ben-Gurion declairing the state of Israel.
Why was the state of Israel declared early and outside the direction of the UN? One reason could be that the negotiations in the UN had stalled and looked like the vote could go ether way with most of the major actors deciding that the implantation of the plan was unworkable because of the tensions existing in the region between Zionist militias and Arab/Palestinian militias. Plus also the Arab league was still against a partition plan that gave a large percentage of land to the smallest percentage of inhabitants and still required the transfer of populations between territories.
How did this come about when the plan had already been accepted by a UN vote of 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions? On March 5, 1948, the United Nations Security Council reached an impasse when it refused to pass a resolution which would have accepted the partition plan as a basis for Security Council action. The United States subsequently recommended a temporary UN trusteeship for Palestine "without prejudice to the character of the eventual political settlement", and the Security Council voted to send the matter back to the General Assembly for further deliberation. The General Assembly decided to appoint a Mediator, and relieved their Palestine Commission from any further exercise of responsibility under resolution 181 (II) of 29 November 1947. This would have given David Ben-Gurion and fellow Zionist leaders suficeient reason to consider pre-empting the UN vote and establishing the state of Israel outside the direction of the UN, given prior acceptance of the initial partition plan.
One day (!) after Israel declare independence ( they had right to do so), the Palestinians declared war.Actually it was the Arab league, not the Palestinians. The Palestinians were, and pretty much still are, a stateless people.
Now, they had all the land that they want now from 1948 to 1967, but never even tried to establish a country.When the Arab armies of liberation entered, they (Palestinians) ended up as the pawns of those political powers. Very difficult to create a country and there are two well equipped military forces already fighting over your backyard. Since the withdrawal of Arab forces and the occupation by Israeli forces, the success at state building has been limited given the conditions of the occupation, the arrest of Palestinian political figures, etc. A comparison could be made to Zionists attempting to create a Jewish state in the mandate of Palestine, an action which would not have happened without the already in progress League of Nations backed agreements (agreements put forwards by the then controllers of the mandate: British Empire).
Next a distinction must be made (re: they had all the land that they want now from 1948 to 1967), prior to the declaration of Israel and the subsequent war that created the border between what is Israel and what is not Israel (or rather the division between Jewish and Arab populations), the region was whole – not broken down into areas – it was the region under the legal terms of the mandate which was held by the United Nations – which was to be broken down into the State of Israel and the Palestinian state. They (the people residing in the region of Palestine) had all the land simply because that is where they were at that time – it was the later conflicts that really began to divide up the land between Jew and Arab – a division of land that had the United Nations plan been implemented, would have resulted in population transfers (both Jewish and Arab) – one must assume that some form of compensation would have been offered as a part of the UN plan to move populations about.
Instead they tried to "wipe those Jews", making anything for themselves was not important, what was important was to first "kill the Jews, we will worry about making a country later". They never tried. So I'm sorry (well I'm not, it's just a matter of speech) they lost the wars they started themselves but its not Israel's fault they wanted war.This is rhetoric and of little debating value. Both parties of the conflict included groups more than willing to wipe the other out, and certainly attempting to do so. Even during the Second World War both parties included groups working to resist British occupation and drive out the other group as well. Both parties of the conflict included groups more than willing to wipe the other out, and certainly attempting to do so. Even during the Second World War both parties included groups working to resist British occupation and drive out the other group as well. Even today slogans of Kill the Jews or Kill the Arabs are dabbed upon the walls of various buildings across the region, be it the wall of a Settler house or concrete security fence.
As for starting the war – again, this is a one sided appraisal of the conflict. The confrontation between uniformed armies that resulted was just the follow-on phase from the already simmering localised militia actions that were already ongoing throughout the region between Arab groups and Zionist groups. Both parties more than antagonised the other into conflict.
The Palestinians never prooved they want peace, they only prooved they want the total destructure of Israel. Your " give them some land and open the borderes and you will get peacfull people" argument is unbased and could only come from a naive person or a person that dont know the history of Israel. Either oneThe Palestinians have proven upon a number of times a desire for peace, and resistance groups have proven upon a number of times no desire other than the destruction of their oppressors. Zionists on the other hand have proven a desire for peaceful negotiation, while also demonstrating a desire to continue the struggle to claim more land via perpetuating the annexing and creation of settlements. Both sides are ultimately fighting over land, the Palestinians fight for the land that their homes are built upon while Zionists fight to reclaim a long lost biblical kingdom that was destroyed by the Romans long before anyone now involved in the conflict was born.
It is certainly naïve to think that simply opening the border crossings will cause the resistance against Israel to cease. It is also naïve to think that if the resistance stoped that Israel would halt its settlement construction. But ultimate if ether side wishes to live in peace in the future, borders will have to be opened, settlements will have to be removed, and attacks (rockets from militants or missiles from the IDF) will have to be ceased from both sides.
The history of this conflict and the history of Israel/Palestine, the land of the Canaanites is bathed in blood from many conflicts stretching back thousands of years. Your simple assessment of the present conflict is unfortunate hollow as it cherry picks rhetoric to only support the history your Zionist Cause seeks to perpetuate.
