33. There has been one suicide bombing attempt in the past six years.

That came from the West Bank and it was thwarted.

Rocket fire had been reduced 98% in 2013 because Hamas was changing its tune trying to stop others, it increased 1500% after Israel attacked the impoverished and oppressed citizenry of Gaza.

Israel attacked Gaza because Fatah and Hamas had formed a unity government and Netanyahu was afraid a unified democracy would break out, he is no different than Dick Cheney or George W.Bush.

Israel with the most powerful military in the region, not to mention nuclear weapons is in no danger of committing suicide, but it is in danger of losing it's soul under Netanyahu and becoming what they claim to and should hate the most.

Fundamentally speaking, the Ghetto in Gaza is no different than the Ghetto in Warsaw.
