Under this thought process, if Gaza isn't Palestine, should the Palestinians' state be recognized, what happens to Gaza? Is it absorbed into Israel? From what I can tell I don't think this is gonna fly, almost anyone talking about this and the Gazans themselves don't agree it seems

Never said that, What is a Palestinian territory is defined in 1948. Where it is clearly stated what should belong to Israel and what to Palestine.

I mean, that ship has sailed though right? Israel will never agree to that unless it's destroyed.

I guess so, but Israel is acting like this because they have the US behind their back, and I am sure if this wasn't the case they would not be so reckless and act with such impunity in the region and it is a failure of the US to rein them.

I'm not as sure of that as you are, but I hope we get to find out soon.

They'd probably have all been murdered by muslim fanatics without outside support, something I feel far roo many here would support.

You mean exactly what Israel is doing right now? Because they don't seem fazed by the high civilian casualties or the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
