Current News • Main solution: "two-state solution" --> Palestinian and Israeli state • Issues: borders, citizenship, and the future of Jerusalem • Fighting between Hamas and Israel along the Gaza Strip • Hamas was firing from the Gaza Strip and they were hitting just outside of Jerusalem • Egypt helped negotiate a ceasefire and that both sides must stop all aggression towards one another

Justice Achieved or Not? • Varying viewpoints and definitions based on who is asked • Each side is fighting for what they believe to be "just" Some facts • over 14,500 casualties (1948-2009) • around 2,000 casualties under age 18 • Still no concrete resolution
