I think it's a sad situation for those people to be forcefully moved from the only place they have called home. I have always been under the assumption that Gaza was always a part of Israel. They have occupied it militarily for the last 38 years, but even before then Israelis settled in that land. Palestinians want their own state and have claimed this land to be theirs. Does anyone know or can help me to understand who this land truely belongs to. All these other countries condemn Israel for retaliating against the palestinians for these suicide attacks. I would retaliate too if someone bombed a cafe or something in my country and killed people. They seem to think that by giving this land to the palestinians that it will help protect the Israeli border better. I think it will be even worse, because they will be closer and have the freedom to do whatever they want and the hatred between those people will never cease. I am also torn over the China Taiwan conflict. I think Taiwan should be able to have their own territory even though it was originally part of China because they are doing it peacefully, but is this right? Probably not. I know that with our military being stretched thin, it's just a matter of time before China will invade Taiwan and there wont be anything we can do to stop it. Someone please help me understand some of this.
