In the words of a JPost writer, can we now say that the 'occupation' is over?

Egypt has a border with Gaza, just as Israel, the only difference is Palestinians are not shooting rockets into Egypt. Israel would be very happy if Egypt assumed responsibility for Gaza, but Egypt is actually terrified of this scenario.
I couldn't believe the final suggestion of Gary Kamiya. Israel is supposed to feel so bad for people of Gaza and so ashamed of itself that it should capitulate to Hamas and give them whatever they want? You mean Israel should care for Palestinians in Gaza more than Hamas? And we're not talking about some ruthless dictator like Hussein, but an organization that has strong roots in Gaza. If people of Gaza don't care enough about their misery to demonstrate against Hamas, why should Israel "bite the bullet" and agree to a cease fire with Hamas for the sake of Gazans?
This just shows that Gary Kamiya only cares about Palestinians. This article is a waste of time to anyone who doesn't share this position.
