First, some history of the Age of Pisces

The region known as Palestine has been occupied by many nations over the millennia and has been a hotbed of conflict since the beginning of the Piscean age.

The astrology of Israel and sudden violence in Gaza

israelLast night Israeli forces stormed into southern Gaza, attacking three bridges and knocking out a power plant in an effort to force the release of an Israeli soldier who had been kidnapped by Palestinian militants.
