Netanyahu's decision to attack Gaza comes despite US-brokered ceasefire that came into effect on October 10.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to carry out “powerful” attacks in Gaza, his office says.

It comes after Netanyahu alleged Hamas committed a “clear violation” of the ceasefire deal. For its part, Gaza’s Government Media Office accused Israel of committing 125 violations of the ceasefire since it came into effect on October 10, including killing 94 Palestinians.

        well Palestine isn’t a real country yet, if you mean mandatory Palestine that’s a different place and time. also palastina which was named by the romans was a place IN Judea that had “different people”. aside from history, what isreal has is a group of people who think that they can build a house where other people live and the goverment lets them, the settlers as they are called. Yeah that shit ain’t good. I just want a fucking 2 state so isreal has their half, and gaza/west-bank can have their own place, and just leave each other the fuck alone.

          I never used the word country but the area when Israel forced it state was called mendatory Palestine so it fair to say Palestine.

          Judea was destoryed long before zionism it didn’t exist when zionists started migrating to Palestine

          A two state is dead because of israel building settlements with impunity for decades. How can a weak newly formed palestinian state would handle 2 millions arabs that lived in Israel moving there? I don’t even think Israel can handle 750k settlers moving to Israel

            eh, getting into Zionist stuff is different for me, i am of the mind that Jewish does not equal Zionist, and that the average Israeli that is Jewish, is most likely not a Zionist, just the extremists.

              Nobody said that Jewish equate Zionism here. Actually it is pro genocide and settler colonialism in Palestine who try to equal Jewishness with Zionism. It is also a fact that Israel never accepted to give a full Palestinians state on all the land occupied by Israel with all it’s right including an army

          Quote from Introduction

          First documented in the late Bronze Age, about 3200 years ago, the name Palestine (Greek: Παλαιστίνη; Arabic: , Filastin), is the conventional name used between 450 BC and 1948 AD to describe a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and various adjoining lands. This work explores the evolution of the concept, histories, identity, languages and cultures of Palestine from the Late Bronze Age to the modern era. Moreover, Palestine history is often taught in the West as a history of a land, not as Palestinian history or a history of a people. This book challenges colonial approach to Palestine and the pernicious myth of a land without a people (Masalha 1992, 1997) and argues for reading the history of Palestine with the eyes of the indigenous people of Palestine. The Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine; their local roots are deeply embedded in the soil of Palestine and their autochthonous identity and historical heritage long preceded the emergence of a local Palestinian nascent national movement in the late Ottoman period and the advent of Zionist settler-colonialism before the First World War.
