Israel removed settlements in the Sinai.  No problems with the state of Egypt since.  Israel removed the settlements from Gaza and it changed nothing.

That probably has something to do with the fact that Israel does not control all of Egypt's borders, does not deny Egypt's right to self-determination, doesn't kill thousands of Egyptian civilians and try to blame it on "human shields",  and doesn't demands that Egypt not have a military for statehood.

And even if the settlements are going on in the West Bank rather than Gaza, they're still supposed to be the same country. During the Revolutionary War, the Boston Massacre still inflamed tensions throughout the colonies even though it took place in Boston. Should only Bostonians have reacted, and with a large British military presence in the city? Because Israel still exercises full military control and 61% of the civil control over the West Bank. Should only the affected part of a country react when an invasion/disaster strikes?

Attacks do occur from the West Bank, but with such heavily Israeli presence it becomes difficult to put up much resistance. In Gaza, they literally walled it off and let Escape from New York happen and put such restrictions on it as to create living hell. Then every other year or so, they "mow the lawn" by carrying out bombing runs and partial-invasions that results in hundreds and up to thousands of civilian casualties.

Why are you such an apologist for a country that so blatantly disregards human rights and international law? Hamas is a terrorist organization, yes, but so is the IDF. Hamas has Qassams, some guns, and suicide bombers, but Israel has state-of-the-art aircraft, tanks, drones, ships, and other weapons sold by Western nations such as the US, France, and the UK and receives billions of dollars in support and the sympathies of the most of the global media network.
