A NEW GAZA . . . .

A mere strip of land just 41 kilometers long and a mere 8 to 12 kilometers wide . . . .

A population of 1.7 million and growing at a great rate . . . .

A piece of land still nearly depended on electricty from Israel . . . . 

A water system that is well below standards . . . .  

A sewer system that is feeding out to sea uncontrollably . . . .  

Sort these 3 major problems out for the Palestinians of Gaza and you have a frame work to build a better Gaza . . . .

Gaza has always been a home of discontentment for Palestinians since blockades strangled the economy within it . . . . 

And with an ever increasing growing population of young unemployed people discontentment will grow . . . .

And with it grows a nation with guns in their arms  . . . .

Whatever aid given can be wasted by this fact alone . . . .

It's leader khaled Meshaal is an engineer by trade . . . . 

Shame he is using his intelligence for war . . . .

A small piece of land that with financial aid could be a very rich land . . . . 

I am so very against of money aid giving to people in power where there is no control as to how that money is spent . . . .

The system of giving such large amounts of money to governments who minds are hell bent on putting those funds towards weapons of war is wrong . . . .

And such old school . . . .

Faith in Hamaz is as weak as the West Bank's Fatah . . . .

We are as forever left in who and what we trust here . . . .

Unemployment is high within the Gaza Strip . . . .

But skills are not . . . .

The young people of Gaza need work . . . . 

Border restrictions of the people of Gaza finding work outside of Gaza has closed . . . .

What Gaza needs is for its work to be independed from Israel . . . .

All that is needed here is trusted forces to over see the work and hold the financial purse to the work done . . . . 

Qatar is waiting in the shadows with aid and construction plans for the Gaza strip . . . .

The US also has its policy of aid for Gaza . . . .

But the days of placing  funds wholly with government leaders are gone, if not fool hardy. . . .

Without full control of over seeing funds makes you as guilty as supplying the weapons that this money is then changed into . . . .

Aid is getting into Gaza but do we really have any idea just to how much and as to why it is totally being staturated by such a small piece of land . . . . ?

If the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip could only really show it needs aid as needed to build a better place by putting down it arms and spend all of it time concentrating on building the better place it wants . . . .

~ A bit of an interlude there as I drift away thinking of happy Gaza Palestinains singing away while on the working on the job . . . .

Part of the Hamaz peace agreement is that there should be an opening of the border controls . . . .

Egypt has agreed to the allowing of crossings of construction materials . . . . 

Is our trust about to be misplaced as thoughts of the Palestinians of Gaza bringing in more weapons in their so called fight against Isreal or worse the like of Al- Qaeda making its way through the borders . . . .

Something that Hamas has yet allow to darken it door . . . .

Is something that remains to be seen . . . .

One peaceful day . . . .

One peaceful week . . . .

One peaceful month . . . .

One peaceful year . . . .

Means nothing . . . .

One peaceful decade and we can at last say we are getting there. . .

But remember what comes with trust . . . .

A nation builds its self up  . . . .

A better infrastructer . . . .

A better economy . . . .

A better health system . . . .

A better housing layout . . . .

A better schooling system . . . .

A better security and weapons system . . . .

Think on . . . .

Trust is a long winding road . . . .

To a better future . . . .

"Heres hoping" . . . .
