Could that be down to the Israeli government spending time and effort in protecting its citizens from harm. Look at the areas that those fatalities were in and you see civilian areas near to schools and kindergartens, not military instalations.
If Israel wanted to protect its citizens, it would end the occupation and blockade and stop making the Pals life a living hell.
No occupation and the blockade is legal so why do Israel still have to protect its civilians
In actual fact Jordan murdered more Palestinians in one month that Israel has killed in defending its sovereignty and right to exist in 65 years
That's bullshit! And an occupational force cannot claim self-defense.
Israel's sovereignty is not the issue. The Palestinian's sovereignty is.
The rocket attacks started in 2001.
The occupation started 34 years before that.
The occupation of gaza ended in August 2005 so why 8 years later are the muslims still attacking Israel.
Do you mean like that are doing by responding to attacks from gaza, which is what International law says they can do. The blockade is not illegal as stated by the UN. There are no Israelis in gaza so how is it an occupation, and come out with the bullshit that the blockade is occupation as International Law tells you that this is a LIE. So when will you get of land that is not yours then, after all you are just an illegal occupier of first nation land aren't you
The only UN document that stated the blockade was legal, was the Palmer Report. And that commission wasn't even convened to discuss the legality of the blockade. The panel had no legal experts on international law and took most of the evidence from declarations from Israel and Turkey.
Another commission which was convened to discuss the legality of the blockade, concluded it was illegal. Not only is it illegal, it's a war crime.
As far as the occupation of Gaza, there doesn't need to be a physical presence for the occupation to exist. Israel has "effective control" over the entire area and that satisfies the definition of an occupation.
Try again as the UN has stated that the blockade does not infringe on human rights, if it did they have it within their power to breach the blockade and send in humanitarian supplies.
So when did the Hague tell you that what Israel is ding is a war crime
As Isreal has done in the past only to see the rockets increase in numbers because there was no deterrent. The only thing Isreal can do is take a leaf out of islams book and roll tanks into gaza flattening everything in sight and poisoning the very earth. When the UN demands they stop tell them to keep out of Israel's business unless they are prepared to help chastise the naughty gazan terrorists.
Israel's done nothing of the kind.
If they wanted peace, why are they always breaking the ceasefires?
