In reply to Avraham. 1: So living under Israeli occupation and a corrupt PA constitutes a better way of life? Having your land stolen by illegal settlers makes it all better in the West Bank? Hamas is certainly no group of angels, but don't bring your propaganda and claim that living in the Occupied West Bank or East Jerusalem is heaven. 2: Blame Israel for its breach of international law of numerous occasions. Settlements are illegal under international law and that is a fact. Israel cannot dispute this by claiming that a book from thousands of years ago gives them the right to claim land. Religion has no place in international law, be it Jewish, Christian or Islamic. We do not live in a theocratic world; it is by and large secular. There is no Israeli exceptionalism to law. What Israel's policy is built on land grabs and theft. It should be held to account for crimes at the ICC. Israelis should rebel against Netanyahu, the extremist Lieberman, et al.

Please do you math homework: 360 sq km = 360000000 sq m ! Hence it is 0.005 people per sq m or 5000 people per sq km! (which is still high)

Your article is full with lies and disinformation. I am not going to argue with it here. I am only asking you to compare the daily life of a palestinian in the West Bank to the life
of a palestinian in Gaza. It is so drasticly different. Why ? Would’nt it be better for Gaza if Hamaz was not there ?

What can expect when you vote for fanatic religious merderous cynical people to govern Gaza ? Don’t blame Israel. Isreal is not the cause for the suffering
of the Gaza citizens. Blame the Hamas. Would you like your house to be bombarded by missiles for years ? Israel had no choice.

I am really sory for the suffering of the Gaza people. You shoud rebel against Hamas. They are the cuase of all this tragedy.
