Residents of Gaza Continue to Fight || Chloe Villa-Abrille

Gaza citizens have not yet put an end to the fighting against Hamas, Israel forces, and the Palestinian Authority. The protest has managed to stay alive for 70 year now, and only grows stronger with the addition of a US Embassy in Jerusalem, only causing things to get more heated. The introduction of the Dahiya doctrine continues to makes things worse as enforced military by the Israeli military comes into action, thus resulting in the death of 110 Gazans and with a towering 12,000 injured, and growing, with that being from just today to 6 weeks ago. The conditions of the land are extremely unstable, dehumanization by war and others occur to almost all of the Gazans as Hamas refuses to recognize Israel as a country, thus resulting in the mistreatment of Palestinians. The area is in turmoil at the moment, not only does the government clash, but also the people have gone through so much, as around 80% of people had their home raided and with the fact of around a fourth of men have been imprisoned.
This issue is of long conflicted and multi-sided battles, a non-negotiable situation, and something that will not be easily resolved. Palestinian culture enforces, "sumud," where a top priority is to maintain the land that their culture was founded on, thus no one is giving in for this war and will continue to fight until one army diminishes or another army with strength, or a new one steps in to end the war. The US will most likely get involved, especially with the addition of the embassy there; however America is reluctant to join in wars because of isolationism and fear of getting dragged into too big of a war, the US really only joins the fight once it turely effects them, like with the war on terror coming from 9-11, and then WWI and WWII also was due to the personal offence to America by Pearl Harbor, treaties, and such.
