As I sit in my apartment, I can watch the scene in Gaza through my little TV screen. Both Al-Jazeera, which I saw at Al-Nakheel restaurant eating an 8 rial falafel plate, and Al-Arabiyya have TV views of Gaza at night. The electricity has been cut off in most places in Gaza; so all we can see are the occasional explosions in Jabalia. Just watching this shows how close Jabalia is to Gaza city. In fact, I used to walk to visit friends in Jabalia from my apartment and English school near the Palestine mosque. It was a nice walk, first along a large wide street, and then along narrow lanes of houses with small gardens behind the walls.
When you think about this Israeli invasion, it is typical of the general role of Israel in the Arab world, and that is to push back, and destroy development.
