Israeli Strike on Palestinian School?
Israeli Strike on Palestinian School? As Israel's military action continues in Gaza, one event is sure to be discussed for some time to come: An Israeli air strike near a United Nations-run school for Palestinian children.

Palestinian Civilian Casualties
As I watched TV reports of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, I was struck by the universal concern with the ongoing civilian casualties of the residents of Gaza.

This will ensure that Gaza and WB remain 2 separate entities and no foreign power will be able to force Israel to cut itself in half.
