Tragedy

The only subject that comes these days into our minds and occupies our hearts over here is Gaza and it will probably stay there for some time to come. The deathtoll has risen to 800 humans by the 15th day of Israel's onslaught on Gaza. Thus, the tragedy is beyond humanitarian reason. While the western media doesn't seem to expect from their viewers to see the results of Israel's bombardments the world needs to look at the catastrophic outcomes from such an irresponsible policy. After 15 days the rocket attacks from Hamas have not stopped and they won't in the future, therefore Israel's military tactic has failed and the loss of human lives has been degraded to a regrettable minor fact.

When will the more powerful side understand that 60 years of oppression and unworthy living conditions for the people who have lost their homes and land does not bear the justice needed for improving security issues on both sides? Leaving all Israeli rhetoric aside, the devastating history of the Palestinian people and their struggle for their own homeland have left deep wounds that have just been opened again. The facts have been ignored or covered up for too long (search here) and it seems as if the latest conflict might be the straw that will brake the camels back causing damage beyond repair.
