Here is a presentation that gives the history of Gaza and looks at the debatable issues that arise from the conflict, including:
- How did the Arab-Israeli conflict come about in the first place?
- Why is Israel putting Gaza under siege?
- Why is Israel attacking Gaza?
- Why doesn’t Israel just ignore Hamas since their rockets are so ineffective anyway?
- Since Hamas’ rockets are so puny, why does Israel attack on such a heavy handed scale?
- Why did Israel escalate things and cause so many civilian casualties by ordering a ground offensive?
- Why is Israel targeting civilians?
- Why does the UN and many of Israel’s “allies” criticize the way Israel conducts war?
- Why is the civilian death toll so high in comparison to combatant casualties?
- Why doesn’t Israel leave them alone and let them get on with their lives?
