I am for one tired of seeing so much death over this.
Hamas hiding behind civilians , Israel trying to protect itself.
Saw on the news last night a tunnel into Israel from Gaza, and what they do to Israeli people. Kidnap them and beat them to death..
seeing whole neighbourhoods being flattened by Israeli bombs ....
On facebook and other social media when posts are made from newspapers and news channel on this its just Arabs and Israelis arguing over who has what .
Also heard last week that if Israel keeps firing bombs at the rate that they are then they will eventually run out and then be in more of a shit ..

It's obviously over land, and I assume goes back many, many years..

Israel defend their right to exist but deny the Palestinians the same.
Israel claims the right to arm and defend themselves but deny the Palestinians the same.
Palestinians are not united and have splinter groups that cannot be managed, Israel act as one.
Israel claim the accept a 2 state solution but keep illegally occupying the West Bank.
Palestinians (Hamas) keep firing rockets into Israel to goad them and the Israelis gladly oblige even though they do little damage.
It's a faarking mess.

Opening paragraph of the article of the above link
(quote) The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[3] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two Marines, and one civilian), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.[4] At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.[1][5] (end quote)
Israel claimed it was mistaken for an Egyptian ship but crew from the U.S.S. Liberty state that the ship's flag and identification number and markings clearly indicated it was an American ship.
Israeli and American government investigations concluded that it was a mistake but there are crew from the U.S.S. Liberty (as above) and American politicians who dispute the findings.
