Sure, Israel thinks it can occupy other peoples lands and get away with it..
And not only that.. It's trying to force it's existence in the Middle East where no one wants it.. .. And it's not working..
This is basically the heart of the problem..

The so-called "nation of Israel" is an abomination. It started out as a dreany "Land of Milk and Honey" for superstitious Jewish religionists, who actually should have known better, because Jews are generally among the best educated and most progressive people in the world. But they DIDN'T know better. And so now, several decades later, the erstwhile "Land of Milk and Honey" has turned into a savage and brutal police-state--ironically very much like the NAZI police-state that the Jews barely escaped from in the 1940s. And because the Jews have stupidly become exactly like their former Nazi oppressors, all thoughtful people all over the world are now growing to HATE the Jews and their make-pretend "democracy." And the Arabs--who have been repeatedly victimized by the Nazi Jews--also understand that the "nation of Israel" is nearing the end of its misbegotten life. And so the Arabs are hastening that day by provoking the Zionists into showing the whole world how brutally sadistic they really are.

The main cause is Israel's colonism.Too ocupy whole land which once belonged to Palestinians and it won't stop until it has it's aim and guess what,that won't happen until a full-fledge war.And what Islam describes war will be won by Muslims (from middle east i.e Pakistan,Iran,Afghanistan areas)and then there will be judgement day.

Israel LEFT the Gaza strip in 2005 and still was attacked by Palestine. Hamas does not accept Israel as the Jewish state and Hamas has not renounced the use of terrorism

Palestine is overpopulating the place and Israel is being
attacked for their land for these people to shack up and
park their donkey carts there. Hamas is a j**k A** who
can achieve nothing with rockets and bombs. The Tunnels
that he dug into Israel will take him out. Hamas better know
what to do because Israel has a fierce Military I think one
of the strongest in the world they will deal with him accordingly.
Does Hamas care about anybody whether they live or die?

Roots of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Who is Ins…: http://youtu.be/bkdbn7GGpo8
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jan/07/gaza-... I write as someone who served loyally in the sraeli army in the mid-1960s and who has never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel within its pre-1967 borders. What I utterly reject is the Zionist colonial project beyond the Green Line. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the June 1967 war had very little to do with security and everything to do with territorial expansionism. The aim was to establish Greater Israel through permanent political, economic and military control over the Palestinian territories. And the result has been one of the most prolonged and brutal military occupations of modern times. Four decades of Israeli control did incalculable damage to the economy of the Gaza Strip. With a large population of 1948 refugees crammed into a tiny strip of land, with no infrastructure or natural resources, Gaza's prospects were never bright. Gaza, however, is not simply a case of economic under-development but a uniquely cruel case of deliberate de-development. To use the Biblical phrase, Israel turned the people of Gazainto the hewers of wood and the drawers of water, into a source of cheap labour and a captive market for Israeli goods. The development of local industry was actively impeded so as to make it impossible for the Palestinians to end their subordination to Israel and to establish the economic underpinnings essential for real political independence. Gaza is a classic case of colonial exploitation in the post-colonial era. Jewish settlements in occupied territories are immoral, illegal and an insurmountable obstacle to peace. They are at once the instrument of exploitation and the symbol of the hated occupation. In Gaza, the Jewish settlers numbered only 8,000 in 2005 compared with 1.4 million local residents. Yet the settlers controlled 25% of the territory, 40% of the arable land and the lion's share of the scarce water resources. Cheek by jowl with these foreign intruders, the majority of the local population lived in abject poverty and unimaginable misery. 80% of them still subsist on less than $2 a day. The living conditions in the strip remain an affront to civilised values, a powerful precipitant to resistance and a fertile breeding ground for political extremism.'

how come all those Palestinians – all 1.5 million – are crammed into Gaza in the first place? Well, their families once lived, didn’t they, in what is now called Israel? And got chucked out – or fled for their lives – when the Israeli state was created.
The people who lived in Sederot in early 1948 were not Israelis, but Palestinian Arabs. Their village was called Huj. Nor were they enemies of Israel. Two years earlier, these same Arabs had actually hidden Jewish Haganah fighters from the British Army. But when the Israeli army turned up at Huj on 31 May 1948, they expelled all the Arab villagers – to the Gaza Strip! Refugees, they became. David Ben Gurion (Israel’s first Prime Minister) called it an “unjust and unjustified action”. Too bad. The Palestinians of Huj were never allowed back.
Today, well over 6,000 descendants of the Palestinians from Huj – now Sederot – live in the squalor of Gaza, among the “terrorists” Israel is claiming to destroy & who are shooting at what was Huj.'

I do respond. I am a proud Jew; my wife reads Torah in our Saturday morning minyan. But I am a Jew of another generation, one involved in the civil rights and antiwar movements, one who experienced American Jewry as a progressive force.
I see Israel as a disgrace to the eloquence, humanity, and social justice of Judaism as a world religion and global ethical experience. Not Neo-Cons of today itching for war, not American Jews and Israelis alike, who see Palestinians as vermin and worse (Golda’s famous remark about Schwarzas), not Mossad with its assassinations, not the Israel of today who use disproportionate force to enforce the degradation of another people.
If thing go hard with Israel on the international scene, it won’t be because of so-called “self-hating Jews,” the way Israelis and AIPAC described all Jewish critics of Israeli policies and actions, but God who punishes Jews who commit murder in His name.'

Israel's Propaganda War. The Secret Report Helps Israelis Hide Facts: The slickness of Israel's spokesmen is rooted in directions set down by pollster Frank Luntz
Americans agree that Israel ‘has a right to defensible borders’. But it does you no good to define exactly what those borders should be. Avoid talking about borders in terms of pre- or post-1967, because it only serves to remind Americans of Israel’s military history. Particularly on the left this does you harm. For instance, support for Israel’s right to defensible borders drops from a heady 89% to under 6% when you talk about it in terms of 1967.”
How about the right of return for Palestinian refugees who were expelled or fled in 1948 and in the following years, and who are not allowed to go back to their homes? Here Dr Luntz has subtle advice for spokesmen, saying that “the right of return is a tough issue for Israelis to communicate effectively because much of Israeli language sounds like the ‘separate but equal’ words of the 1950s segregationists and the 1980s advocates of Apartheid. The fact is, Americans don’t like, don’t believe and don’t accept the concept of ‘separate but equal’
http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/07/25/gaza-israel... The People Putting Innocents in Danger are the Israelis. Gaza, Israel and ‘Human Shields
Let’s be clear: the only people putting the Palestinians in danger are the Israelis. The only people killing innocent people are the Israelis. Hamas may not be the party that the chattering classes of the West would want to govern them, but they are democratically elected and they have as much right as Israel, Britain, France and America to fight against an oppressor that quite literally wants to ‘wipe them off the map.’ They face a tough job, but one thing they can’t do is use human shields against an enemy that doesn’t recognise them as human.'

Is Israel’s Assault on Gaza a Response to Hamas Rockets? Would Cessation of Rockets from Gaza Stop the Atrocities?
Israel has one of the world’s most advanced military systems, provided to them through aid from the world’s largest military superpower and through contracts from the world’s wealthiest weapons manufacturers here in the United States. In the 2014 fiscal year the US gave Israel $3.1 billion in aid, and according to the official Congressional Research Service Report for Congress, “Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance.” Hamas, on the other hand, is estimated to have a total budget of only $70 million, with much of that sum being devoted to an extensive social services network that funds schools, orphanages, mosques, health clinics, soup kitchens, sports leagues, and more, leaving very little room for defense spending. “Approximately 90 percent of its [Hamas’] work is in social, welfare, cultural, and educational activities,” writes Israeli scholar Reuven Paz.
Despite these asymmetries, Israel maintains that its current, forceful use of its awesome military might against a literally trapped, militarily primitive, and economically crippled Gaza population is necessary for Israeli security. These justifications are parroted by U.S govt, Sec Kerry..'
