The Gaza Strip...

Ever since its creation, the Gaza strip has brought nothing but agony and pain to its denizens. The past 25-or-so days have been nothing out of the ordinary for the humble citizens of Gaza, who have lived and died since 1948 not knowing if they would live to see the sun rise the next day.

Despite my sympathy for the palestinian people, I cannot place the blame of this incident on anyone other than Hamas, who were obviously the ones to begin the attack. However, it is also only fair to say that Israel's reaction to the incident was very much exaggerated!

I'd like also to point out one fatal flaw in some people's efforts in trying to resolve this arab-israeli conflict. It CAN'T be solved! Situations such as this are supposed to be nipped right in the bud, not left to flourish for sixty years and every once in a while cry "killers!" So my advice to all people is to not preach for the end of the State of Israel, but to try live with the current situation in an effort to make everyone happy.
If you ask me, I have the perfect solution to the problem. Hamas and/or Mahmoud Abass and a representative from the Israeli government should engage in a simple game of arm-wrestling - winner takes all, loser gets kicked out of the land. And there you have it...everyone's happy and the land belongs to only one side - fair and square :)
