Who is Israel fighting
I am trying to figure out who are they fighting with. I look at a map of the country and is Gaza apart of the country or are they another country. I thought Gaza was just a big city or something

In order to understand the middle east you have to read the Bible. It starts in genisus and ends in Revelation. Abraham had two sons Ishmael by Hagar and Isaac by his wife Sarah. Isaac was God's promised seed. It all goes back to Satan vs Almighty God. That is a spiritual warfare over there. The Bible will help you understand what is happening.

@Baremine the story of Jericho is the most important part! Israel didn't exist much before that by historians. It was Canaan both biblically and historically.

@DeWayfarer Israel was formed from the sons of Jacob. They left Egypt as a nation of 2 to 4 million people. Jericho was the start of Israel possessing the land that God had given them. They never took all of that land.

@Baremine Historically ALL that land between Syria and Egypt belonged to the Canaanites!

@Baremine Possibly... provided you account for its vaguely-historical parts to have been written by the Hebrews themselves - including their self-justifying pretence that God "gave" them the land they settled.
However, that was well over 2000 years ago. What really counts today is what happened in 1948.
None of this excuses Hamas' amoral orgy of blood-letting though.

@ArishMell I don't excuse either party. Just that it can't be resolved just by one or two different powers.
It wasn't resolved by the Romans, in 1000 BCE, themselves, nor by the USA in 1948!
What is Israel now, the UN set it up! It's not going to be resolved any other way! A good number of the Arab nations have a part in this in the UN!
