Gaza is slightly larger than 'half' the Isle of Man, is has a population however that is 20 times larger. It's a very densely populated place and this doesn't even take into consideration areas that the Palestinians can't go or even the illegal settlements. A better question would be; Is there anywhere safe in Gaza?

Also there are no settlements in Gaza, they were dismantled in 2005. Going by the reports on the news this morning it seems that Hamas's military wing want to keep on fighting until they score a "spectacular" as the provos called it that they can sell to their followers as a propaganda victory. Before the truce today the BBC reported that Hamas tried infiltrating across the border through a tunnel with the intention of attacking a kibbutz. They were stopped by the IDF

It is an inherent part of the Palestinian territory and the people living there are members of the Palestinian nation. The much-lauded withdrawal of 2005 simply resulted in a greater drive to construct illegal settlements in the West Bank. It would be like the British giving back South Armagh and deciding to help themselves to Donegal and Monaghan instead.

Israelis fear their neighbours, and it is this fear that breeds what appears to be murderous, racist attitudes. I don't know if they realise that Palestinians have more reason to fear than they do, as crazy as that may sound.

I know the thought of being run into the sea by my neighbours who hate me for existing would scare me just as much as the threat of missiles and arrest.
