"....Considering Israel uses drones mostly for monitoring....." Oh dear, your lack of research also seems to extend to Israeli drone use. The majority of strikes on terror targets in the Gaza Strip are now carried out with drones firing missiles, they started replacing helicopter gunships in that role last year (https://medium.com/war-is-boring/israel-swaps-killer-copters-for-killer-drones-ff55a5db9a17). But, in the years when Israel isn't driven to mount large-scale operations like "Cast Lead" and "Protective Edge", by far the biggest killer of Gazan civilians is Hamas, but they get extra vindictive when Israel makes them look weak (http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4706/gazan-hamas-war-crimes).

".....Utter rubbish...." You wish. Every bit is historic fact.

"....the area was historically known as Palestine....." Palestine was a much greater area and the term 'Palestinian' referred to Jews, Christians and many other ethnic and religious groups, not just the Arabs that invaded the area in the 7th Century and since. The hijacking of the term 'Palestinian' by the Arabs is a deliberate lie intended to infer sole right to the land.

".....long before the Jews invaded in the early 20th century....." Apart from the fact the Jews had been continually resident in the area for three-thousand years before Islam even existed, the UN Partition Plan of 1948 was based on the demographics of the remaining 24% area of Mandate Palestine left after Transjordan had been gifted to the Arabs. The areas marked by the UN to form the basis of Israel were not just those with Jewish residents but areas where the Jews were in the majority and had been continuously resident for hundreds of years. Even the Gaza Strip had a long history of an indigenous Jewish population from long before the creation of Islam (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/02/gazas_rich_jewish_history.html). So your hilarious statement is easily shown to be wrong.

BTW, Israel can be held to the Geneva Convention as it is an UN-recognized sovereign state with legitimate armed forces and is a party to the Convention, unlike the Fakestinians. Israel also has the kind of high-tech military industry required to make laser weapons, unlike their neighbours. Like they say, winners have jet bombers. And tanks, artillery and warships. And probably laser cannons too soon.
