…Egypt is considering creating a huge, 1,000-meter buffer zone in the Sinai Peninsula – they have already evicted 10,000 people in the process of clearing the first 500 meters — and digging a deep-water trench that would flood any future efforts to carve subterranean routes for smuggling weapons and terrorists in and out of Gaza.
And unlike the fierce resistance and international public relations campaign Hamas mounted against Israel in August, the terrorist group that governs Gaza appears to not be seeking a head-on fight with Cairo.

The most damning footage came on August 5 from Gallagher Fenwick of the TV network France 24. Several days prior, he had been reporting live when a Hamas rocket whooshed over his head.
Returning later to scene, he revealed that it had been a densely populated area 100 meters from a U.N. facility and 50 meters from a hotel frequented by foreign journalists.

"Anyone killed or martyred is to be called a civilian from Gaza or Palestine, before we talk about his status in jihad or his military rank. Don’t forget to always add ‘innocent civilian’ or ‘innocent citizen’ in your description of those killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
"Begin [your reports of] news of resistance actions with the phrase ‘In response to the cruel Israeli attack,’ and conclude with the phrase ‘This many people have been martyred since Israel launched its aggression against Gaza.’ Be sure to always perpetuate the principle of ‘the role of the occupation is attack, and we in Palestine are fulfilling [the role of] the reaction.’
"Avoid publishing pictures of rockets fired into Israel from [Gaza] city centers. This [would] provide a pretext for attacking residential areas in the Gaza Strip. Do not publish or share photos or video clips showing rocket launching sites or the movement of resistance [forces] in Gaza.

Accept the current borders. Destroy all missiles and stop further imports of military hardware into Gaza.
End all threats against Israel’s territorial integrity and security. Punish all attacks from within Gaza against civilians.

the Knesset in Israel includes religious parties that are anti-Zionist for religious reasons.
There are also communist and Arab parties in the Knesset that are very much against the State of Israel and Zionism.
The three Palestinian parties usually win between 3-4 seats each. Hadash, the joint Arab-Jewish party, currently has four seats as does the United Arab List (a unification of three parties, including the Islamic Ta’al party). There is the secular Balad party, which currently has three seats.
Then there is Balad MK Hanin Zoabi whose expulsion was later overruled by the Supreme Court. She participated in the first Gaza flotilla in 2010. Zoabi rejects the idea of Israel as a solely Jewish state, which she describes as "inherently racist."
Utopia, you are standing in it!
