Gaza Strip Questions

Why is Israel attacking Gaza in the first place?
Israel dropped bombs over Gaza in retaliation to heavy rocket fire in that area.

Discuss the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Both the Israelis and the Palestinians believe that the Gaza Strip is their "holy land" and they are fighting to get full territory of it.

What are the similarities/differences between Hamas and Fatah?

Fatah is a large faction of Israelis and Hamas is a large faction of Palestinians. Whereas Hamas wants the destruction of Israel, Fatah is looking for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Both factions are living in fear and uncertainty as the war wages on.
