The Israeli’s never wanted Gaza. In fact, it was part of the Camp David accords that the Israelis take back Gaza. The Egyptians wanted no part of them..
Oops, my bad, you're correct. The Palestinian negotiators indicated they wanted full Palestinian sovereignty over the entire West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Israel was willing to give some 91% (some say 97%) of Arafat's demands, but not satisfied, Arafat immediately called for a new intifada. The suicide bombings commenced. We used to read every day about another bombing of weddings, cafes, buses, et al. Those horrific mass murders is what got me interest in the Israeli/pali conflict. As a deist, I couldn't understand why that was happening to good decent people.
Bottom line is that Israelis want to live in peace and go about their daily lives. Palis live for their self-imposed hatred and long for the destruction of Jews. After watching the documentary "Children of Gaza" years back, and watching how the neutral reporter walked away disgusted, I have zero respect for anything pali.
If they want their 7th century religion (like many muslims) and cut off young girl's genitals and knife their own children on the head in a sick ritual, then I have NO sympathy for what happens to them. Let them all die and the world will be better without them. I'm okay with that.
