I first visited Gaza 36 years
ago and returned during the 1980s and later for the very successful
Palestinian elections. Although under occupation, this community was
relatively peaceful and prosperous. Now, the aftermath of bombs,
missiles, tanks, bulldozers and the continuing economic siege have
brought death, destruction, pain, and suffering to the people here.
Tragically, the international community largely ignores the cries for
help, while the citizens of Gaza are being treated more like animals
than human beings.
