And what exactly are the mistakes of your country, because so far you have been painting a picture of roses. So you are not responsible for the harsh conditions of the Palestinian people, but yet your government monitors the Gaza/Egytian Border and as a result people are starving and medical supplies are low.....and you don't consider this harsh, there is a certain limit of naiveness.
No one is starving in Gaza and they are not short of medical supply. Israel is not monitoring the border between Egypt and Gaza and it is the responsibility of Egypt to prevent smuggling arms and military equipment into Gaza.
My country made mistakes in its dealing with the Palestinians and the major one is building settlement within the West Bank in a way that would compromise the possibility of an agreement that would enable to create an independent Palestinian state. Nowadays, I am in the opinion that Israel should unilaterally withdraw from the Palestinians populated areas of the West Bank.
However, the Palestinian's harsh conditions are mainly their own responsibility and an outcome of their own mistakes. They rejected the partition plan of 1947 and declared war on Israel in a clear objective to destroy it. This decision caused the refugee problem of the one who fled during that war.
The Palestinian caused to the failure of the negotiation with Israel in 2000 by rejecting Israel's proposals and persisting on the right of return for the refugees (which means the end of Israel as a the nation state of the Jewish people). Similar proposal was rejected in 2009 and the PA refused to abandon its demand for the right of return.
Israel was ready to recognise the PLO as the Palestinian partner in 1993 and letting this organisation to return and control significant parts of the West Bank and Gaza as an interim stage. In return PLO avoided most of the time preventing terror attacks against Israel and continued to educate its children on martyrdom and glorifying terrorists who killed innocent civilians.
Following the failure of the negotiation in 2000 the Palestinian opened with a terror attack against Israel, including suicide attacks on Israel's cities. As a result Israel a military conflict was erupted which caused economic crisis to the Palestinians. Furthermore. Israel built the security fence and prevented any Palestinian to enter its territory without a security check and successfully halted suicide attacks on its civilians.
In 2005 Israel withdraw completely from Gaza, including returning all its soldiers and dismantling its military bases and villages and evacuating thousands of settlers. In return Hamas took control over Gaza and continue to fire rockets into Israeli territory and terrorise civilians in its villages and cities. In 2006, Hamas kidnapped without provocation an Israeli soldier from Israeli territory, and until today hold him and refuse to allow any access to him by the Red Cross to check his conditions.
Earlier, Hamas won the elections in the PA but refused to recognise Israel, to negotiate with it, and to stop using terror against it. After Hamas rebelled against the PA and murdered PLO people in Gaza, and used Gaza as a platform for rocket attacks on Israel, Israel closed its border with Gaza and imposed a maritime blockade in order to prevent any more military hardware entering Gaza that would eventually be use to attack Israeli citizens inside Israel. However, although Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction and continue to terrorise its people, Israel provide Gaza with Humanitarian aid, supply and also electricity and running water.
If you really want to help the Palestinians, pressurise Hamas to stop its terrorism and recognise Israel and avoid supporting all kind of provocations like this ridiculous flotilla that strengthen Hamas. Pressurise the Palestinians to abandon their demand for Israel to commit suicide by accepting millions of refugees who would turn Israel to another Arab state.
