Israel left Gaza for this purpose to make peace, but got rockets in return.
Don't you think Palestinians have as much right over the land and it's resources as enjoyed by Israel (if not more..). Do you really feel Palestinians have been given their rightful share? Most of the Gaza strip has been turned into refugee camps with little or no social infrastructure after December 2008 escalation.
From official sources - A total of 1,100-1,400 Palestinians (773-916 civilians) and 13 Israelis were killed in that 22-day war. The conflict damaged or destroyed tens of thousands of homes,15 of Gaza’s 27 hospitals and 43 of its 110 primary health care facilities, 800 water wells,186 greenhouses, and nearly all of its 10,000 family farms; leaving 50,000 homeless, 400,000-500,000 without running water, one million without electricity, and resulting in acute food shortages.
So what motivation does Israel have to make concessions when all they get is more terrorism?
You are talking about motivations for Israel to
make concessions. What motivation does Palestinians have
to live with what's happening around them? Palestine can't defend itself. There is no point going against war with such an opponent.
I am not trying to advocate for Palestine and/or against Israel. I am just trying to understand why aren't Palestinians being allowed to live peacefully in their own home now when they used to live peacefully there for centuries earlier.
