What has the Schutzstaffel got to do with this?

It's an initialism for Settler State.

Yes. They apparently knock your socks off with a rock. (<One of the lyrics from their upcoming album: Genocide in Gaza v2)

Must be from their number one single "Jews returning home" or maybe their other song "3,000 years of Jewish Israel"

I'm way too lazy to use Wikipedia now, but can someone clear this up for me -

1) What is/was Mandatory Palestine? How come Palestine only consists of the Gaza Strip and West Bank?
2) How was the Israeli state founded? Did the Balfour Declaration play a part in it at all? Where there any events during WWI/II that led up to this?
3) Isn't Israel supplying Palestine with free electricity and water services?

Cause if it was Israeli land to begin with, well...

If you're referring to the time when you tried to claim that despite at least 75% of the Gaza Strip being arid or agricultural land, Hamas were physically unable to fire from those areas because they wouldn't be able to kill enough Israelis that way, then yes that's a good example.

Have I thanked you for asking me to engage in that little research?

This is off-topic and should be posted in the Israel/Palestine thread in the International subforum.

But in very brief Jews had been returning to the historic Land of Israel in significant numbers from around the 1890s. By the 1920s it was agreed that the Jews should have their own state in that region and the Balfour Declaration was a part of that. In 1922 everything East of the Jordan River was formed into a new country which is now called Jordan. The events of WW2 and the increase in Jewish refugees made it a more pressing issue to finalise the deal. In 1947 the UN voted to partition the rest of the Mandate into two countries one for Jews one for Arab. The Jews accepted the plan and the Arab rejected it.

In 1948 when the Mandate finished Israel declared itself a state, the Arabs did not declare a state but instead the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq invaded the area. When the fighting ended in 1949 Jordan was in control of the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel had control of everything else. Between 1949 and 1967 Jordan and Egypt remained in control of those lands not changing them into a separate sovereign state - in fact Jordan officially annexed the West Bank. In the 1967 Six Day War Israel defeated Egypt and Jordan and ended up in control of the West Bank and Gaza. The Palestininians have never had sovereignty over any land and only achieved self-rule over parts of the West Bank and Gaza in the mid 90s after the Oslo Accords.

That is a very brief and general introduction to the history. Any further discussion should take place in the thread I mentioned a the start of the post.
