The word Gaza is not an Arabic word and this is what we are told in Arabic dictionaries

So I have established that our dear slayhy source for this little gem was answer.com right our dear slayhy al-tablighee whose Hindu ancestors were brutalized by islam

You see our dear slayhy if you would want to find the meaning of a word then you check the dictionary of this language for the meaning of the word and this is what elmaany dictionary tells us about the meaning of the word gaza

http://www.almaany.com/names.php?language=arabic&lang_name=%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A&category=%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A1&word=%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9

And let me read it for you: غزة : كلمة فينيقية تعني القوة

Or Gaza means: It is a Phoenician word and it means power

I do not see anything about las3a or sting or yaghz or he punctures and nothing to do with ghazwa or invasion

Now you see our dear slayhy the lost tablighee you can write elmaany and tell them that their definition of the word gaza is wrong and tell them why and they think that you are a fool

So when you have the answer you can share it with us but until then the word Gaza is really Aramaic from Phoencian and you are ignorant ...
