As many of the Gaza Strip citizens lived under the chaos of the political differences between the Palestinians and Israelis both, they found themselves wondering: what is the future of Gaza? Will it continue is its current turmoil and descent or will it prosper once again as the city of the seas?

The Gaza strip is an irony in itself. Looking back at its history you will find that when the Israelis were in control of the city the Palestinians long fought for its independence. When the day came and the Israelis gave up partial control of Gaza City, the Palestinians found themselves fighting for control of Gaza by the two major parties in power, Hamas, and Fatah. When will the Gaza Strip see peace again?

The Palestinians will not give up and the Israelis will always enjoy seeing the Gaza Strip being ruined by its own people. As long as the Palestinians argue amongst each other over control, Israel will further enjoy a little break from having to answer to Hamas. Therefore, the future is the Gaza Strip looks sad and bleak.

Until the late 1940's, ethnicities and religions of all kinds lived together in peace in the Gaza Strip. Christians, Muslims and Jews were neighbors, all of whom worshipped on the same soil. After WWII, what many have referred to as "The Great War", British troops seized control of Palestine and remanded the country to the hands of the Jews as a gift. It was then to be known as the Jewish Nation. Without remorse or approval, the Jews banished many Palestinian citizens from their own homes and land. A number of them fled to nearby countries, yet many remained - to fight what they viewed as tyranny and injustice. Thus, Gaza Strip Palestinians have been a requisite ingredient to define this region.

It would seem that the Israelis and the Palestinians will never be able to get along in even a relatively peaceful manner. Once the chords of vengeance have been struck, the tunes of anguish and suffering will forever play. The Palestinians' will simply never concede that the Gaza Strip now belongs to the Israelis. Since the two sides cannot agree who owns the land, nor can they live together, what will become of the Gaza Strip if nothing is done to remedy this situation.

Is it right to empathize with the Jews or do we empathize with the original Palestinians? It is a difficult question. The atrocities of the holocaust left many feeling that the Jews deserved a home of their own. After all, they have been persecuted for thousands of years. Perhaps the correct answer is that we sympathize with both. But the worst attitude we could possibly take is to become callous to the events in this region. We cannot fall into apathy over the seemingly interminable violence.
