The misery seeps through the tunnels and fundamentalism by schools

(ES)

The brutal blockade to which inhabitants of Gaza are subjected by the State of Israel leads them to obtain supplies through the smuggled goods that enter the tunnels connecting Gaza with neighboring Egypt.

No less striking than their own brothers, at the other side of the border, trade with the misery of the Gazans.

Being locked in a ghetto, with a subsistence economy, and condemned to international aid, leading the Palestinian people to a life deprived of freedom and dignity.

In this environment children grow up in Gaza, which for generations only remember the violence of the Israeli army and Hamas militias, which have been bombed, burned and abused, and have experienced the death of family members only by the fact being born in a strip of land occupied.

Such an environment of violence is the breeding ground for religious fundamentalism, which together with the lack of resources and staff to educate these children, feeds the religious fanaticism.

It is the paradox of the state of Israel, which block the Gaza Strip to defend itself against terrorism, but with that lock does not do more than add fuel to the fire of the Palestinian problem.

While continuing expansion of Jewish settlements, the international community seems to look away or sidestep to avoid disturbing an uncomfortable partner as Israel. Arab countries look to Iran with fear, and Iran will remain having a sworn enemy that threaten while there is a problem in Palestine.
