If your country just wants to add Gaza to its territory then say so explicitly. I'll like your country even more because it's honest on its intentions.

But punishing civilians is an act of cowardice and gets Israel no points.
And not all Palestinians are participating actively or passively to destroy Israel or wants to harm its people. Most civilians are helpless people just wanting to get by and have a peaceful life. They don't choose where they are born into and they don't have access to be granted other nationalities either. And despite the way Israeli govt may treat them they are as humane as any other Israelis.

The Nazis thought Jews were despicable too and did their best to get rid of them. I despise Nazis because they failed to see Jewish people or any other group of people as being as humane as them.

Sure the Israeli commandos were attacked abroad the ships they landed on but they had the rights to do that as it was done IN international waters and translated to piracy. That was not exercising the state sovereignty. Did Israel first declare that 65 km off the coast of Gaza as a no shipping zone?
