The Israeli-Palestinian conflict provokes powerful emotions no matter which side your views fall. Here is a must-see discussion unlike any you’ll see on any other media outlet. All sides are represented. Passions emerge but sanity and civility remain.
“A Gaza cease-fire quickly unraveled Friday as violence erupted in a southern town in the war-ravaged strip, killing at least 44 Palestinians. The Israeli military said two soldiers were killed and an infantry officer was feared captured during fighting.
Israel and Hamas accused each other of breaking the cease-fire, which had been announced by the U.S. and the U.N. and took effect at 8:00 a.m. Friday. The fighting broke out less than two hours later.
