I know that since 1948, there has been a big problem with the Gaza Strip, a small strip of land between Egypt and Israel. Is this because Egypt and Israel both want the Gaza strip? Are natives of the Gaza strip called Palestinians? Is it correct that most of the residents are Muslim? Are Palestinians Muslims? Thank you for any and all informative comments. Why would Egypt or any other country really want to claim the gaza strip, since it seems poverty-stricken and full of conflict ? I can sort of understand why Israel would want to lay claim to it, since the religion of Israeli residents is a minority in the arab world.
Ok, but how did these Palestinians end up there in the first place, and why don’t they just leave and take up living somewhere else ? Are they banned from leaving? Why?
So, no one likes the Christians or the Muslims who live there? Do the Christians and Muslims living in Gaza get along or not really? So you are saying Israel kicked out Christians and Muslims when it became an independent country? Or are these Christians recent imports, attempting to “convert” the Muslims/Jews?
Well, I would probably just leave right away if some crazy people were trying to destroy my jalopy house anyway!
