Israel always whines about the government that the Palestinians elected but the Palestinians can't say anything about the assholes that the Israelis elect.Why cant' they have an airport and fish? They CAN.. They just need a RESPONSIBLE govt to proceed on normalization and diplomacy with the rest of the world and their neighbors.
Another Israeli lie. When Israel "left" in 2005 they closed the doors to trade, travel, and tourism. They cut the water to the greenhouses rendering them useless.That transition to normal trade and souvereignty only lasted about a year before the Hamas moved in and then PURGED the previously recognized partner in peace.
Hamas "purged" the losers of the elections who tried to stay in power at the point of a gun.
Israel lied about leaving Gaza. It still patrolled Palestinian territorial waters. It still patrolled Palestinian airspace. It still shot at farmers over the fence. It still entered Gaza at will to bulldoze crops and kill anyone it wants.Besides, Gaza is in NO WAY occupied by Israel. It's called a BLOCKADE for economic sanctions. All Gaza has to do is clear customs through the neighboring Israeli port. And work out an agreement with Egypt to RESPONSIBLY provide a compliant customs inspection regime open to international scrutiny.
The US right now has virtual Blockades on about 20 countries. And we enforce that without "occupying" an inch of property.
