"The scope of Israel's ongoing control over major aspects of life in Gaza imposes on it responsibility for the safety and welfare of the residents there, in accordance with the laws of occupation specified in the Hague and Geneva Conventions."

But Israel withdrew from occupying Gaza. They are not occupiers of that territory- Hamas is. Now they are at war with militants in order to defend themselves and their own citizens inside Israel. What about the welfare of the Israeli citizens?


"How can people claima ny form of divine intervention in the ownership of the Holy Land?"

Like I wrote previously Albert, the Jewish religion is centered on the divine and the Holy Land, as is the Muslim religion which has Jerusalem as one it's holiest places, amongst Mecca etc. You may not like that, but many millions of people believe this.
