You may want to research the region under the Ottoman Empire. There were many Jewish villages (not settlements) in Gaza (which fyi is really called Azza by the natives) who brought Agriculture to the region in the 1800s and built numerous farms. Most Arabs are herders and not farmers, so most of the large towns which are now cities were workers for those farms. Israel does not want Gaza under any stretch of the imagination (just look to the East, there are is only a couple of towns nearby all the way to the Jordan River) as the Palestinians have decimated the aquifer under themselves (Israel currently uses drip irrigation and water recycling plants for their agricultural needs).

Sounds great to me too! Kinda like that guy the other night on Judge Judy, he swung at the defendant, the defendant punched him back once, broke his jaw, and it had to be wired shut, and Judge Judy told the guy, "Don't start fights". BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Don't fire thousands of missiles, unless you wanna suffer some butt hurt.

Thus cutting off direct power to the 135 drinking water sites, 3 treatment sites and 4 storm water pumping sites.
Also it is worth noting that Hamas hasn't paid Israel for the electricity supplied by the Israeli Electric Company and has accumulated a huge debt. I doubt in the USA any electric company would continue supplying electricity in such circumstances.

You may want to re-think the statement as Puerto Rico hasn't been paying their bills either.

And actually Saudi Arabia has a similar problem too.

Christians and non-muslim groups are being ethnically cleansed out of the arab muslim countries as well.

So why should arab muslims be allowed to live in christian, jewish, or other non-muslim countries?

Ugh, this poster again?

Yes, because we all know how the poor, poor pals have spent so much time and billions of aid dollars building this fantastic country of theirs into an economic/technology powerhouse.

The spend every nickel they have on weapons and terrorism, but boo hoo hoo we are supposed to feel so, so sorry for them...

When you and they join the adult world of responsibility for one's actions, let us know.
