Typical "Musketism":

"Israel is at "war" with Gaza?" - Musket

Which he got from:

"There is a weapons embargo against Gaza which is at war with Israel." - Keith A

Now let me see in recent times we have situations where:

The PIRA declared that they were "At War" with the Brits, and they actually attacked indiscriminately the general population, so please no protestations about them being at war with the British Government.

The above never ever automatically meant that the British, the British Government, or the British Army were ever "At War" with the PIRA.

The Taliban declared War on the UN and central Afghan Government's national reconstruction programme.

No reciprocal declaration from ISAF, ANSF or the Afghan Government.


Troubadour:

Those two prison camps who I think you are referring to - Gaza and the West Bank - If anybody made them so it was the Arabs themselves in 1949 when the Egyptians and the Jordanians took "Palestinians" and shut them up in refugee camps on Palestinian land.
