The Gaza Conflict has been present for many generations, but the real war started only a week ago. The history of the war dates back to the end of World War I. Why did it start? Why does it continue? These questions need to be answered!
The start of the war is related to the end of WWI. At the end of this terrible massacre Great Britain, of whom owned territories in the modern Palestine, and to show their sympathy to the destitute Jews, made a proposal to the UN to create a country in the Middle-East for the Jew race called Israel. The Jews were happy to finally have a territory of their own, but the native inhabitants were not content with the fact that they were forced to leave their houses forever. This left the Palestinians with a grudge against the Jews, and it would not pass until action was taken against the nation of Israel.
Just recently the tensions between Gaza and Israel arrived to its limits as Israel invaded the Gaza Strip. The recent fighting, which is still going on, has been horrible. There were many civilian casualties, and not many HAMAS casualties. Israel knows that it has not yet vanquished HAMAS as rockets are still being fired into Israel. Hezbollah has responded to this by firing several rockets into northern Israel. Israel, to stop the terrorist attacks by HAMAS, has bombed most of the surface of the Gaza strip, and they also bombed the UN base there. Though the surface actions of HAMAS may have been destroyed, the underground operations are still happening.
A person can take two sides on this issue, that of the Gaza Strip, and that of Israel. Though many people have condemned Israel for starting this recent fighting, Israel does have good reasons for doing this. Gaza has been firing rockets into Israel for a long time, and have killed many Israelite citizens. In reality, Israel is only protecting its citizens. Gaza though also has reasons to be outraged at Israel. One of these reasons is that it has been HAMAS that has been firing missiles, but many civilians of the Gaza Strip have been killed in nighttime bomb runs by Israel. Fighting, dying, these are all names of terrible things that make up what we call war.

Organization 3.5 ideas flow fairly well but there are also awkward areas in which the reader must fill in what the writer wants to be understood
Ideas 4.5 good grasp of concepts and underlying issue
Conventions 3.5 skip lines to show division between paragraphs
Grade - 11.5/15 (77%)
Ehm... Mrs Witter I don't know, but I think I put divisons in all the paragraphs but one, because at school it didn't work, is there ANOTHER reason for th 3.5, and which are the "strange" paragraphs.
