Well let's see... do you mean giving them Judea and Samaria (ancient Jewish land now dubbed 'the West Bank'?) That sounds like a great deal to me, to be honest.

EDIT: if you are downvoting this, please explain where I'm wrong in a reply - let's have a discussion.

And regularly turning off power and fresh water to the entire territory, a territory that is surrounded by barbed wire and tanks? Regularly denying these people the right to travel, within their community or internationally, for no other reason other than arbitrary action or reaction?

Forgive many people for not finding that as great a deal as you seem to believe it.

Whether you like it or not, Israel has the right to defend itself.

When you live next to a chunk of land controlled by a terrorist group that wants nothing but your destruction, fires rockets from hospitals and has no concept of the value of human life, you do everything you can to protect your population.

You would do the same - and, in fact, your country does the same. It's only because Israel is a Jewish, pariah state that you bring this defensive act as if it was some sort of apartheid-like offense. You care not one iota for the same situation existing in other countries, nor do you compare likes to likes.

Every single country in the world does this - they protect their borders and they protect their people.

Blaming Israel for being a country is hateful and insane.

EDIT: And let's not forget that there's Egypt on the other side of Gaza. They do not count, do they? Or are they also an apartheid state?
