    Israel is not occupying any Palestinian lands. The settlements in Gaza were removed and also many in the West Bank. Most remaining settlements in the area were included in the peace agreements, road map and other negotiations.
    Occupation is just a myth

    Why can't you people lead an argument with reason and state facts instead of succumbing to personal attacks?

    Israel is not occupying West bank, most settlements were disassembled already. And there are talks with Abbas to settle the disputes. Same about Jerusalem even though it's Israel's capital, some leaders were ready to give up parts in return for peace agreements. Unfortunately the palestinians are just not getting that they can only achieve their goals with negotiations and not terror.

    Ok, so West Bank is not occupied, is that what you claim? It's a free territory, right?

    wrong again, and again you show that you are commenting on something you have almost no knowledge about, Israel is still occupying both West Bank, and Gaza, and the settlements are still there and they did not stop building them:

    note the dates, mostly these after the so-called peace process started, which clearly shows Israel have no interest in peace.

    The United States on Saturday urged Israel to avoid civilian casualties in its strikes, but did not call for an end to the offensive, essentially signaling its support for the operation.
    The White House said for the violence to end, Hamas must stop rocket attacks into Israel.
    "Hamas' continued rocket attacks into Israel must cease if the violence is to stop," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.


    The British Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying:
    "The only way to achieve lasting peace in Gaza is through peaceful means. Whilst we understand the Israeli government's obligation to protect its population we urge maximum restraint to avoid further civilian casualties"
    "We also call on militants in the Gaza Strip to immediately cease all rocket attacks on Israel."


    France called on both sides to cease the hostilities. President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned the provocations that led to the situation, and the "excessive use of force."


    The Russian Foreign Ministry demanded Israel halt the operation immediately: "Moscow deems it necessary to stop large scale military action against Gaza, which had already led to big casualties and suffering among civilian Palestinian population. At the same time we call on Hamas leadership to stop shelling Israeli territory."


    Leaders from Arab nations have held consultations following the launch of the Israeli offensive. The Arab League has announced it will convene its members for an emergency session in the coming hours.

    I wonder how many palms Israelis needed to grease in Washington for this? ;)

    And people wonder why USA foreign policy in middle east is such a failure. Too bad American politicians are too busy serving their masters in Tel Aviv instead of American tax payers. :rolleyes:

    The Six Day War:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Days_War


    Egypt expelled a peace keeping force that was in Egypt for 10 years, moved 100,000 troops to the border with Israel, moved 1,000 tanks to the border with Israel, didn't allow any Israeli ships to sail in the Straits of Tiran. Then Israel attacked to gain a strategical advantage, which indeed was so as they won and gained control on many territories.

    You can say "DUDE BUT ISRAEL ATTACKED FIRST!", and I'll respond with the fact that it was a brilliant move that managed to give them quick victory, and any military tactician would agree. Saying that they should have waited for an Egyptian attack, tactically, is stupid.
