The Rich Will Make Gazans of Us All

The Jews built Israel into a thriving country while the Palestinians sat around in the desert trying to figure out how to put up a tent or bent over praising Allah. Where I come from we've got a saying for that...tough shit!

That galaxy you're in isn't that far away:

"Market forces and the military mechanisms that protect these forces are the sole ideology that governs industrial states and humans’ relationship to the natural world. It is an ideology that results in millions of dead and millions more displaced from their homes in the developing world.

"And the awful algebra of this ideology means that these forces will eventually be unleashed on us, too.

"Those who cannot be of use to market forces are considered expendable. They have no rights and legitimacy. Their existence, whether in Gaza or blighted postindustrial cities such as Camden, N.J., is considered a drain on efficiency and progress.

"They are viewed as refuse.

"And as refuse they not only have no voice and no freedom; they can be and are extinguished or imprisoned at will. This is a world where only corporate power and profit are sacred. It is a world of barbarism."

Would the shit be any less tough if the Jews were living in Gaza?

Palestine considers the entirety of Israel occupied palestine. If they didn't, they wouldn't be lobbing rockets into Tel Aviv nor would they have a blockade.

Israel and palestine lived peacefully side by side with most palestininans working in Israel and stable borders with no blockade until Yasser Arafat declared the intifada.

Here's why they are lobbing those missiles:

"The Israeli blockade of Gaza, established in June 2007, is a brutal form of collective punishment that violates Article 33 of the Fourth 1949 Geneva Convention, which set up rules for the 'Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.'

"The blockade has turned Gaza into a sliver of hell, an Israeli-administered ghetto where thousands have died, including the 1,400 civilians killed in the Israeli incursion of 2008. With 95 percent of factories shut down, Palestinian industry has virtually ceased functioning.

"The remaining 5 percent operate at 25 to 50 percent capacity. Even the fishing industry is moribund. Israel refuses to let fishermen travel more than three miles from the coastline, and within the fishing zone boats frequently come under Israeli fire.

"The Israeli border patrols have seized 35 percent of the agricultural land in Gaza for a buffer zone. The collapsing infrastructure and Israeli seizure of aquifers mean that in many refugee camps, such as Khan Yunis, there is no running water."

The period of relative tranquility you reference was partially undone when the USSR collapsed and hundreds of thousands of Soviet "Jews" moved to Israel and took the jobs of Arabs who were living in Palestine before the Jewish State came into existence,

The reason they are lobbing those missiles is because the goal of destroying Israel and killing Jews throughout the world is in the Hamas Constitution. There was an election between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (the PA was willing to accept a two state solution) and Hamas overwhelmingly won. The basis of the Hamas campaign was to eliminate Israel and slaughter Jews. Everything Hamas does is to eliminate Israel. If they fish, they smuggle weapons. If they have land for agriculture, they use the land to launch rockets. In 2005 when Israel gave up part of the land in a land for peace deal, they left gaza with all of the gigantic greenhouses used to grow food. The palestinians were so enraged by the existence of Jews that they smashed the greenhouses to bits. Totally destroyed them. The palestinians are a collection of mad dogs in various stages of rabies. That's the way they need to be treated.

Al-Nakba or "the history of the Palestinian exodus is closely tied to the events of the war in Palestine, which lasted from 1947 to 1949, and to the political events preceding it.

"In September 1949, the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine estimated 711,000 Palestinian refugees existed outside Israel,[25] with about one-quarter of the estimated 160,000 Palestinian Arabs remaining in Israel as "internal refugees".

"The Palestinians say they were evicted at bayonet-point and by panic deliberately incited by the Zionists.[26]

"Efraim Karsh believes that the Israeli government never took such a 'simplistic, single-cause viewpoint'.[27] Walid Khalidi[28][29] and Ilan Pappé say that the expulsion was based on a deliberate policy.[30]

"Based on the protocols of Israel's cabinet meetings, the Haganah Archive in Tel Aviv, and the IDF and Israel Defense Ministry Archive in Givatayim,[31] a number of historians have concluded that around half the Palestinians who became refugees were evicted by the Israeli army but this was not an organized policy."

There is nothing wrong with gaza that a little sterilization wouldn't cure. The same way any virus is eliminated.

How would you define "sterilization?"
Is it similar to a Final Solution?

No it is similar to D-Day.
