Except for the obviouse difference in spelling, can someone explain how Gaza is different from Warsaw.
At least on the face of it, it would appear there are some stark similarities beginning to show.

They are very different, but there is one similarity:
In 1939 Warsaw came under the rule of the Nazis.
In 2006 Gaza came under the rule of Hamas.
Then you are saying that in both instances, the leaders who were and are holding these people inside these gettos was elected by those people themselves? I though Hamas was only elected a few years ago, while the Palestinians have been confinded inside the Gaza refugee camps for many years.
Or maybe you are saying that people kept in small confind spaces are really just getting what they ask for and deserve?
The blockades of the Gaza Strip refers to a land, air, and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip by Israel and Egypt from 2007 to present.
In September 2011, a UN Panel of Inquiry, assigned by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, concluded in the Palmer Report that the naval blockade was legal, based on the right of self-defense during a period of war, and had to be judged isolated from the restrictions on goods reaching Gaza via the land crossings.

Applies to COUNTRIES ONLY if you go by the actual meaning. Palestine was never a country. and as such th e convention does not apply.
The four 1949 Conventions have been ratified by 196 states, including all UN member states, both UN observers the Holy See and the State of Palestine, as well as the Cook Islands.

The UN dont have th epower to create nations. its in the charter. that was th e previous iteration. palestines a AREA and no matter what you say its not a proper nation.
Following the United Nations General Assembly passing a resolution granting non-member observer state status to Palestine in November 2012, Palestine acceded to Conventions I-IV and Protocol I in April 2014.[30] In January 2015 Palestine acceded to Protocols II and III.[31]
So let's end the military occupation.
Today, we say, in a clear and unambiguous fashion: The armed resistance and armed struggle are our strategic choice and our path to liberate the Palestinian land, from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River, and to drive the usurping invaders out of the blessed land of Palestine.

It appears to me, you have some sort of "hang up" when it comes to Palestine being a "proper nation". Can you tell me, does this include a discription and/or deffiniton of said country by having an established border with in which the population of said country may reside?
If so, could you show me the established borders of Israel? I have seen a lot of maps of the middle east and they do not all agree with each other on this point.
If there are such borders for the nation of Israel, why do their leaders continue to expand the settlements for their people into other areas outside these borders. Under the Geneva Conventions which have been sited, this should constitue criminal acts of claiming "occupied territory" and illigal expansion outside their own country.

It's rather strange when the State of Palestine becomes a signatory to the 4th GC, but it's not protected by it.
Following the United Nations General Assembly passing a resolution granting non-member observer state status to Palestine in November 2012, Palestine acceded to Conventions I-IV and Protocol I in April 2014.[30] In January 2015 Palestine acceded to Protocols II and III.[31]

Does the Hamas represent all Palestinians ?
Another issue to consider as well is the impossibility to find someone in Israel who is willing to risk his political career advocating for the dismantlement of the settlements.

I see we have another 'circular arguement" started here.
I say this because, as usual, a lot of people have no desire to actually discuss such matters, they find it much easier to simply bring in other points to argue.
I can only surmise that they are quite sure, or atleast afraid, they will soon be caught up in a corner; so they simply continue to circle.
As I stated in another posting, I refuse to participate in such; so I will just call my self the WINNER on this point.
That is until you can actually find a way to discuss one point at a time.
