Answer 2

This is NOT a religious war... this is a political war They're fighting over power...... Hamas was elected to govern Palestine by the majority of the people in the election... Fatah would never give Hamas the full authority to govern Arafat founded Fatah back in 1959 and up to this day there is still not a peace treaty with Israel nor has Israel recognized Palestine. Even though Fatah is more moderate and is all for peace talks which to this day mind you has never had a lasting resolution. The US pushed for a democratic vote in Palestine and even though the Leader Mahmoud Abbas warned the US it wasn't a good idea still the US pushed for an election. So Palestine held an election and Hamas won the majority of the votes. Maybe because Fatah tried for peace for all of these years and failed maybe the Palestinian people thought Hamas might govern differently, maybe they thought it was their only chance for change. America is now taking sides with Fatah and America sees Hamas as a terrorist malitia group so, because Hamas won the elections fairly, and the US and others were against Hamas so they cut aid to the Palestinians. Fatah didn't want to give Hamas the complete authority to govern Palestine and tried to share the leadership which went from bad to worse. Fatah recognizes Israel and Hamas does not. Now the fighting has escalated in Gaza.......it's no wonder, because when other countries have broken the trust and turned their backs on the Palestinians leaving them hungry, hopeless, impoverished, and people are held prisoner in their own land being under occupation for decades. They begin to see no way out they begin to turn against each other. So very sad. 2 things can happen 1. Fatah will fight Hamas and take control of Gaza 2. Israel will fight Hamas and Palestine will change forever I hope this helps you understand the situation a little better

Answer 3

absolutely. there are a lot of people who can understand a language but they can't speak it or are weak at speaking, because reading and listening are skills that you do not need to produce anything to communicate. you read ideas or listen to them, but writing and speaking need a higher level of mastery over a language to be able to produce.

Answer 4

Absolutely! I can understand Spanish and French to a degree, but certainly can't speak either.
