Perhaps you're just making up stuff. Just the week prior to this there were the usual (indirect) negotiations securing extra work permits and other concessions for Gazans. Also, I don't think that they asked the people of Gaza as to their views regarding this 'issue'.

Ah, so you think that being allowed out of the prison to go work for the oppressors is a good thing. How about they are allowed to have a port to trade with other countries and work for themselves? That way they might even be able to get medical supplies, which are restricted by Israel.

"suppression of the Palestinians" that's utter bullcrud.

the terrorists have killed 250 plus and wounded 1500 plus by attacking civillian towns, this is terrrorism at its worst and they need to be wiped out completely, attacking soldiers is one thing but killing hundreds of innocent civillians because of their BS beliefs deserves total annihilation so it never happens again. This shows how backward and demented these terrorists really are, they are still living in the dark ages.

I never said or implied that you did. Just expanded on what you wrote.

20 years ago, this current government would have been considered extreme right. The Israeli political center of gravity has shifted far to the right.

 

The current government is considered extreme right. Just a few years ago, Netanyahu refused (or said he's refuse) collaboration with some of his current political partners. Obviously, his political survival and assuring he stays out of prison comes first.

 

While there is definitely a shift to they right (for many reasons). But there's right and there's extreme right. Some right wing parties can fit in a centrist based government, and even accept major concessions (if it comes to that), some do not. 

 

Netanyahu would surely prefer a 'saner' coalition, but many on the opposition refuse collaboration due to his ongoing court cases. That's how the current government came about.

Israel gave back the Sinai to Egypt when the two Countries signed a peace deal in 1979

 

The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel was signed 16 months after Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's visit to Israel in 1977, after intense negotiations. The main features of the treaty were mutual recognition, cessation of the state of war that had existed since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, normalization of relations and the withdrawal by Israel of its armed forces and civilians from the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had captured during the Six-Day War in 1967.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt–Israel_peace_treaty

 

 

 

If they wanted a treaty with Egypt they had to formally give the Sinai back.

As for the reasons they wanted a treaty, and why one was even possible, one has to look at that war where Egypt overwhelmed Israeli forces in the Sinai.

"I say to the residents of Gaza: Leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere."
--Netanyahu

Now the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians begins in earnest.  Goodbye Gaza.  Goodbye West Bank.  Hello 5 million Palestinians ejected out of what will be Israeli-claimed Palestine. Hope the EU has plans for another 5 million displaced people of Arab descent.  This is about to become a human-right crisis of epic proportion.

You reap what you sow.

I do believe that its considered to be far right Neo Nazi Anti Semitic  to label Jews as being like Adolf Hitler .

  But lets not go down that road and stay on topic , as Anti Israelis seem to keep going on about Hitler all the time

Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians while suffering very few casualties in the past, so perhaps that comment can be redirected 180 degrees.

Maybe not so much among the rising generation:

How Israeli youth helped usher in the farthest right-wing government ever

Over the past month, tens of thousands of Israelis have come out to protest their new government’s proposed judicial reforms, which could weaken the country’s democracy and separation of powers. The crowds are diverse in age, but unlike popular liberal or democratic protests in many countries, attendees say the audience skews older.

Recent polling backs that surprising observation: A joint poll published by the Israel Democracy Institute last month found that 73 percent of Jewish Israelis between ages 18 and 24 identify as right-wing, compared with only 46 percent of Jewish Israelis over 65.

Israel knows that time is on the Palestinian side as their population is increasing faster than the Israelis, so eventually by sheer weight of numbers they can win over Israel. IMO this situation was tailor made for them to try and make the Palestinians leave and go somewhere else, though where that is does anyone know?

Treat people badly for decades and eventually they will rebel.

 

I guess that you missed it wasn't always thus. The 'siege' is mostly a reaction to Hamas actions and agenda. Also, it it maintained by Egypt as well. Don't see as many complaints about that, or Palestinian attacks on that side.

It does not. Even Biden held out having an official meeting with him. Ended up as a short time thing, and not in the White House. Most non-right wing/authoritarian leaders in Europe shun him as well. His last appearance in the UN was in-front of an almost empty hall.

Who is responding to who seems to be a very subjective matter - is Israel responding to Hamas’s attack or is Hamas responding to Israel’ land theft and oppressive occupation?

The Gaza Strip is not occupied, and it's been that way for a long time. The so-called 'siege' is a by-product of Hamas's own actions and policies - it was not always in place. In the current instance, it is quite clear who is the instigator.

Nonsense. Israel's continuous expansion was not negotiated but opposed by nearly the whole world.
