The conflict between Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Israel is having an effect on some Middle Eastern families living in eastern Carolina.

Many of them are hearing about the war from their relatives who are still there. One man we spoke to says one of his relatives was killed in the conflict. Another man, from Jerusalem says border lockdown, has caused suffering to those living in Gaza. He tells us his children and grandchildren are still there and have no food, electricity or jobs.

Many of the Palestinians tell us they just want the right to basic needs, while Israelis fear Hamas is a militant organization, which will create more unrest.

Hamas is a terror organization backed and trained by Iran. Both want to destrory or wipe the Israelis off the map. That is their desire. Hamas should be defeated at any cost. Iran now has 70,000 students signed up to be "idots carrying explosives" to kill people. GO ISRIAL.

Israel should keep on doing what they are doing until Hamas is crippled and no longer a threat. If it means wiping them out, then so be it. Hamas brought it upon themselves.
