About The War
darkAI
Britain was in control of the Israel/Palestine area after the Ottoman empire fell. Towards world war 2, Britain gave up a large portion of the area and created "Jordan". After world war 2, Britain decided to withdraw from the area altogether and the United Nations decided to split the remaining area to "Israel", the country for the Jews and the concentration camp refugees, and "Palestine", a country for the arabs in the area who didn't move to Jordan yet. As soon as the British left - Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, along with the Palestinians, invaded Israel as they didn't want it here. Israel won, barely. Then came few more wars with Israel gaining more territory advances. Throughout time, Israel built up and invested in its economy, while the palestinians mainly invested in warfare. As a result, the Israelies became richer and have tanks and planes etc. while the palestinian government kept using the aid money they received from Israel, USA, U.N. and the European Union to purchase more weapons. Therefore, Israel propspered while Gaza became a ghetto. Which is also why the majority of the world considers the Palestinians to be the oppressed and weak side here.

Over the past few years, the large majority of the territories have been returned. Now.. there are 2 major terrorist organizations - Fatah and Hamas. Hamas decided to take over Gaza strip militarily, which drove the defeated Fatah out of there and made them control the west bank. Since the Fatah took a more peaceful stance - Israel gave them back more territories, began cooperating with them in numerous aspects and peace negotiations began while violence from both sides stopped. In Gaza on the other hand, Hamas escalated the violence. A cease-fire was signed, and despite over 65 rocket attacks during the 6 months of cease-fire, Israel didn't react. Recently, Israel shot several militant weapon smugglers who were digging a tunnel to bring more weapons into Gaza to shoot on Israel. In retaliation, Hamas began bombarding the surrounding civilian areas of Israel on a daily basis with several dozens of missiles a day. Israel kept asking them to cease, they wouldn't. They warned several times that they will be forced to react if Hamas doesn't stop aiming at its civilians. Hamas wouldn't. stop. As a result, the recent attack on Gaza, aimed at several dozen Hamas compounds, occured, in order to make Hamas stop shooting Israeli civilian territories. As the operation progressed, the shooting decreased but continued. Israel warned Hamas to stop shooting or there will be a ground operation as well. Hamas wouldn't stop. Now Israel is in Gaza, doing everything it can to stop the Hamas, all the while offering ceasefires, but Hamas still insists on shooting Israeli civilians. As soon as Hamas loses, it will most likely ask for a ceasefire so that it can rebuild and restock on weapons for the next round of fighting which will begin as soon as they are ready by breaking yet another ceasefire.

Israel gave numerous warnings Israel is taking numerous measures to protect Gazan civilians - It includes using smart bombs which are extremely precise. Israel spreads papers from the air warning civilians to leave an area before it's bombed. They even call civilians on their cellphone to warn them before an incoming attack. They even rushed several injured palestinian civilians to an Israeli hospital to treat them. On top of that, before the entire operation began, Israel brought 90 trucks of humanitarian aid for the Gazan civilians. Israel is doing everything it can in this operation to protect both its own citizens and the Gaza strip citizens while Hamas uses them as human shields while Israel tries to bring an end to these barbaric attacks on its innocent civilians. Anyone in their right mind would support Israel in this situation.
