Why has there been a war erupting in Gaza in the first place?  Hamas keeps saying that they are resisting the occupation of Israel.
                                                                         

Israel's defense system, the Iron Dome-destroyer of rockets and missiles

 
Here are the facts that have been purposely ignored.  It makes you wonder why the national newspapers and TV people haven't bothered to disclose this.  .
                                                                       

In 2005, Israel had pulled out of Gaza.  There had even been Jews living in Gaza, and they were forced by the Israeli government to move out and leave the area of Gaza entirely to the Arabs for the sake of  having peace for Israel. " Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian entity."

To do this, Israel went ahead and dismantled every  Jewish village, town or city that was in existence up to that year.  They withdrew every IDF soldier.  They evacuated every Jew.  They left nothing of themselves and no one behind.  Even the cemetery was dug up and transplanted.
                                                                   

What they did leave were the lovely greenhouses that the Jews had built where they grew fruit and flowers for export.  It had become a thriving business.  They had decided to leave them intact to be continually used  to HELP the Gazan economy that was always in trouble.  How did the Gazans react to these greenhouses?  They TRASHED them all when they took over the land.

Israel's government wasn't finished.  They declared the border between Gaza and Israel to be a legal INTERNATIONAL FRONTIER.  This meant that Israel had renounced any claim to the territory and considered it to be an independent entity. They had to put up a fence.
                                                                       

The effect was that Israel  had created the 1st Palestinian state ever.  This was something that their fellow Muslims had never granted to these Palestinians.  The 400 previous years of the Ottoman Empire holding the land never did that for these wandering Arabs.
                                                                       

Israel was outnumbered in the 6 Day War
It took a miracle to win against all odds.  

 As for the Egyptians, they had been brutal in their OCCUPATION OF GAZA for 20 years before being driven out by Israel in the 1967 SIX DAY WAR.

Peace was wanted by the people of Israel and from 1947 to 1967, but they had very little of it.  Their boys and girls had to become warriors to protect their families.  Girls had to fight because the odds against this tiny country was so great.  No one came to help them fight.  The UN was useless.  When the Arab nations told them to leave and let them fight against the Jews, they left.
                                     

Operation Pillar of Defense, Israel retaliating
Operation Pillar of Defense was an eight-day Israel Defense Forces operation in the Hamas-governed Gaza Strip, which began on 14 November 2012 with the killing of Ahmed Jabari, chief of the Gaza military wing of Hamas by an Israeli airstrike

                           

Cast Lead, Israeli Operation in Defense  2008-2009
The Gaza War, also known as Operation Cast Lead,  and the Battle of al-Furqan by Hamas, was a three-week armed conflict between Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and Israel ...

     Israel had been promised by the League of Nations at the end of WWI that they all would help the Jews to create a Jewish Homeland and they gave Great Britain this responsibility who went ahead in giving away 80% of this chosen land to a Saudi Prince who wanted to rule over a country and had been forced out of his own homeland.  Israel was left with 20%, mostly desert.

Their actual ancient ground was part of the give-away.  Now this 20% was to be divided again to give half to the nomadic Arabs who had entered the land in the first place to get jobs from the industrious Jews who were busy building their Jewish Homeland!

  And here Israel was, deciding on their own to give Gaza to the warring Arabs who seemed to promise peace.

Has Israel been given PEACE?  No way!  Gaza immediately became their rocket platform to shoot rockets, mortars and missiles at Israel with the help of their neighbors who supplied the weapons or materials to make the weapons.

Yet they keep calling out the words, OCCUPATION!!

That didn't last. They struggle for power over the other.    

And the news kept on buying into OCCUPATION without checking into the true facts, without bothering to write about it.

HAMAS, the terrorist gang that has gone political, took over in a 1st-ever election in Gaza pushed onto Israel and Gaza by  the then President Obama of the USA to have a Democratic Election.  Of course Hamas saw to it that they themselves won the election.  It was most likely fixed, or the people were so scared that they dare not anger Hamas as consequences could be death.  So they had broken away from Fatah terrorism who were a little milder, not so vicious led by Abbas, and went wild with Hamas.  They weren't ready for a Democratic election mentally or physically.

Gaza became an armed camp and made war against Israel.  Occasionally they would call for a truce, giving them time to recover any losses.  Then they would be back at the usual shooting of rockets, mortars and missiles.  They had no intention of having peace; only to take over all of Israel as according to their promise at a meeting in Kartoum saying NO NO NO to peace with Israel and writing in their charter that they would destroy Israel.
                                                                       

President of Iran Hassan Rouhani

According to their different style of thinking and logic, they consider ISRAEL itself as being OCCUPIED LAND!.  OCCUPIED BY JEWS!   They scream that Israel is illegitimate, a cancer, a crime against humanity.  These words are thrown out by the leaders of Iran, (former Persia) to back them up.  It's Iran who is the chief patron for Hamas, their BIG BROTHER.  They supply arms for Hamas.   Hamas has been so open about their goals.  THEY ARE GOING TO LIBERATE ISRAEL.  THEY ARE GOING TO DESTROY TEL AVIV AND THE REST OF PRE-1967 ISRAEL.  This is Hamas' RAISON D'ETRE.
                                                                           

Hamas has used campaigns of suicide bombings against Israel.  Israel had to build an almost impenetrable fence for protection of its citizens.  Hamas fires rockets into Israel indiscriminately at civilians in populated areas.  Their attacks have been started with a barrage of about 150 rockets at Israel.
                                                                             

What goes on is they get new rockets, especially the Fajr-5 from Iran that they smuggle in by sea or by their famous tunnels they have built-a freeway underground,   These rockets shot from Gaza can reach Tel Aviv and Jerusalem where 50% of Israel's population live.
                                                                           

They have gained  more strength  by gaining more patrons on their side of Middle Eastern states from the Arab Spring that started in Syria. and the change in attitude in Turkey which is an Islamist reversal of Erdogan becoming more radical in Islam.  For 66 years, Turkey, which is not an Arab state, had been a reliable ally of Israel.  This recent 180 degree shift with Recep Erdogen saw him call Israel a terrorist state.  Imagine, Israel has suffered terror from ts neighbors and Palestinians who have committed cold-blooded murder in the name of terrorism, and the victims are called the terrorists.

It's like what happened in Germany.  Whatever Hitler said was agreed with.  Hitler's writings happen to be very popular in the Middle East.  People can be brainwashed by living under fear.
                                                                   

Mohamed Morsi b: 1951, is an Egyptian politician who served as the fifth President of Egypt, from 30 June 2012 to 3 July 2013, when General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi removed Morsi from office in the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état after the June 2013 Egyptian protests.

Egypt, Israel's adjoining neighbor, the country they left with Moses, was also taken over by Hamas's mother organization, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.  Hamas was its Palestinian wing. Mohamed Morsi was the leader of the BROTHERHOOD.  
                                                                               

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,b: 1954,  former General of Egypt

Finally, General Sisi got wiser and kicked him out and took back Egypt.  Things between Israel and Egypt have been much better, but it had been Obama that had backed the Muslim Brotherhood.  When he became president, one of the 1st things he did was to go to Egypt with an apology speech and he had insisted that the Muslim Brotherhood men sit in the front row to hear his speech.  The Brotherhood was outlawed at the time in Egypt, but with USA pushing, had relented in this and allowed it to happen.
                                                                         

Another backer of Hamas has been Qatar with the emir visiting there and leaving behind a promise of a cool $400 million dollars!  It obviously has been used for weapons to use against Israel.  Rarely have the people seen any helpful changes in their life.  Gaza and Judea and Samaria, where Fatah reside, rarely have made payment to Israel for their electricity or water supplies as they've created none of their own.  They've been DEPENDENT ON ISRAEL.

Israel and Egypt, in their own defense, have resorted to military blockading certain roads that would have brought in a flood of new and even more deadly weapons.  Hamas demands immunity and inviolability so they can build up their arsenal of missiles for another war on their terms.

Hamas is looking forward to creating their own Hezbollah South, a counterpart of the terror group to Israel's north with 50,000 Iranian and Syrian supplied rockets that will deter any Israeli pre-emptive attack.  They declared a cease-fire on for November 21st in 2012.  Hamas has not succeeded but more fighting keeps going on, with the latest done at the fence between Israel and Gaza.

The press coverage is all on the Arab side of the fence, and Israel is damned for defending themselves, as usual.  As usual, too many ignore the true facts and just give in to the strongest bully who to them are dressed in sheep's clothing, so are the weaker ones.

So almost everyone has chosen the side backed by Middle East dissidents who have not gone along with the decisions made by the League of Nations and agreed with by the United Nations, representatives of all the countries of that period.  The press certainly hasn't tried to dissuade anyone about it.  It took the late Charles Krauthammer to sit down in 2012 to write the article my information followed, though many of us have been writing these same things over and over.  It's never been picked up by the national news syndicates to my knowledge.  Let Israel dare to defend itself and they have been charged with terrorism.
