Truce?

This past week, I wrote a few e-mails that were not enjoyable. I tried to make light of the situation as much as possible, however no one likes writing home to Mom and Dad that their country is at war. This week, the southern city of Sderot has been bombarded with Kassam rockets fired from Gaza. Why? Because Hamas and Fatah are in a civil war with eachother. Now, you my not see the direct correlation between these two events but I do. When Hamas and Fatah decide to wage war against eachother, Israel gets caught in the middle.

Please read this article featured in Ha'aretz's current online edition: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/860479.html. It illustrates what it's like to be living in the middle of a civil war- as a Palestinian. I am amazed this journalist wasn't shot to death. As Shmuel Rosner says "the Gaza Strip is burning." They don't have the Israeli's to fight against, as we do not occupy this territory anymore. So, they fight each other. Good. Let them. Let them kill eachother off and leave us alone!
