Since the ceasefire on the Gaza Strip two weeks ago, only Allen Pizzey of CBS has continued to file reports for the nightly newscasts. "Their world has been blasted to bits," he shrugged, contemplating the fate of Palestinian youth. "Their options for the future are little better." Pizzey has already surveyed Gaza's rubble, shown us the smuggling tunnels from Egypt being rebuilt and investigated possible war crimes by the IDF. Now Pizzey offers two potential paths for young Gazans. Some scavenge through unexploded Israeli ordnance to recover ammunition to build new rockets to fire back across the border. Others go back to school, but "even the Islamic University was pounded by airstrikes putting students' chances of graduating in jeopardy." Pizzey concluded that "career choices tend to be influenced by family circumstances and for many revenge is a more likely path than education."
