This was written by an American journalist who visited Gaza in 1956:
It is a recurrent irony of history that big wars breed in little places. World War I had its Sarajevo, World War Il its Dan-zig. The next war may well erupt from such a slender rectangle of rolling plain and naked desert as the Gaza Strip.
An area brought into being by the truce lines of the Arab-Israeli armistice of 1949, the Gaza Strip is only 25 miles long: an average of five miles wide. Its Egyptian military government rules an Arab population of around 312.000.
Only 95,000 are original settlers. The rest are refugees, driven into Gaza's sandy and desolate embrace by war in the holy land

The genocide in Gaza is going to turn out to be one of the most significant political events of our lifetime and I think a lot of people have yet to grapple with that at all.
