I’ve never been near the Gaza border. I know, crazy, right? Although Gaza is only 100 miles southwest of where I live, it has always felt like an Arab ‘country’ far away from me, akin to some mythical land where terror reigns and dragons breathe fire. Or, a more realistic description: a city with seemingly no order or structure, dense population crammed in concrete buildings, Hamas hooligans, and chaos.
