GAZA CITY — The two millionth person has been born in Gaza, the Strip’s Hamas rulers claimed Wednesday, with the birth of a baby boy named Waleed officially recognized as reaching the milestone in the densely populated Palestinian territory.

“There are now more than two million residents in the Gaza Strip after the baby Waleed Shaath was born last night in Rafah in southern Gaza,” Iyad Bezm, a spokesman for the Hamas-run interior ministry, told AFP.

So what do you think Nitram ?

Has 6chars convinced you ????????

There is no " taking away more and more land." .....not in Gaza or in The Wild West Bank .

There is no dream of ' a Greater Israel ' .....Gush Emunim is a fantasy
ref : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gush_Emunim

There is no Green Line ......no borders .
No separation between them and us . ......

The settlers have every right to be where they are .....why ?.....cos God chose them

" Meanwhile, Israel is taking away more and more land." .....Nitram is correct 6chars....we are taking away more and more land........but its ok ....we are doing it in the name of god and of a Greater Israel .............for the same folks that took Rabin from us :
