They’d pretty much developed the forces to fight against the British Palestinian Authority in the waning days of WW2 and had already launched the revolt - with assassinations, bombings, and attacks on British military installations and Palestinian villages by 1946.</p> But the Herzlian Zionists wanted to reclaim the pre-Diaspora homeland on religious grounds.

The US encouraged elections, and did not like the result. The Government of Isreal imposed a blockade, and the people of Gaza are close to starvation, after 60 years of transferring land from the Palestinians to Isrealis (see Siun’s very descriptive map).</p> <p>You make a comment about Isreali haters? That’s an inflammatory statement designed to limit and frame the discussion. Have you anything more protuctive to write.</p> <p>Raven, rerhaps you could discuss the transfer of land from Plaestinian control to Isreali control, expecially in the West Bank after 1967?</p> The People in Gaza elected Hamas.

Raven, rerhaps you could discuss the transfer of land from Plaestinian control to Isreali control, expecially in the West Bank after 1967?
