What new settlements have been built or expanded in Gaza?
All settlements were dismantled in 2005....alll Israeli troops were withdrawn in 2005.....governing power was ceded to the Palestinian people......
...and the rocket attacks continued.
Hamas cannot "push" Israel into the ocean. They can and have continued to attack civilians and its the obligation of any government to protect its civilians from unprovoked attacks.

I concur.
The Palestinian people have been a pawn.....not of Israel but of the neighboring Arab nations.
