Peace Fails to Break Out In Gaza

Despite Israel giving in to decades of international demands and ceded the Palestinians their own land, a utopia of peace and prosperity has somehow failed to materialize:


The first violent dispute over land in the former Gaza settlements left a 17-year-old participant dead and several other people wounded in clashes Friday between clans claiming the area and Palestinian Authority police. Scuffles between competing clans erupted even as the last IDF troops evacuated Gaza on the morning of September 12, when several tribal leaders staked out private land they claim Israel expropriated during its 38-year presence in the Gaza Strip.

Do you think that maybe Palestinian society isn’t healthy enough to run their own state?
