Stopping all the violent and hostile actions means ending the smuggling of arms into the Gaza territory.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The situation in the West Bank and Gaza involves a military occupation amid urban guerrilla warfare, analogous to the British security measures in Northern Island, that hopefully will end with a cease-fire.
If you have Palestinians who have no hope, who don't have a job, who've used up all their resources, the notion of getting rid of violence is a dream.
The actions of the terrorist organizations, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, and Hamas, in Gaza, against Israel are unconscionable. Instead of working towards peace, these terrorist organizations have chosen to perpetuate the violence.
The reason for the blockade on Gaza was not to punish the Palestinians but to continue to delegitimize Hamas.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
The people of Gaza are trapped. Israel has sealed the border, and they have no way to leave the Gaza Strip to do business.
In defense of our persons and properties under actual violation, we took up arms. When that violence shall be removed, when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, hostilities shall cease on our part also.
If Israel sees weapons moving toward its border, it acts.
Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other.
Incitement and anti-Arab hatred increased significantly during the Gaza conflict.
