Violence in Gaza

 

Israelis have recently air bombed the Gaza strip in response to a cease fire and some rockets launched at Israel by the Hamas group that caused minimal damage and 1 casualty.

In response the Israeli forces deployed something like 6,500 soldiers and bombed and air raided the Gaza strip killing 277 and wounding approximately 700 people, including young soldiers who were graduating from military training. From my understanding of the articles I've read in Drudge Report and HuffPost, they attacked the ceremony site. Isn't that like shooting at somone who has no weapons, or from behind when they don't see it coming and cannot defend themselves? How cowardly! Was that really necessary? Was this type of response really necessary?

The EU has condemned both nations, Palestine for the instigation and Israel for the excessive use of reckless force. 

The Israeli response makes it look like they are dying to come down on the Palestinians with all they got and are waiting, or actually, craving the smallest excuse to unleash their wrath. These is from people who are supposed to be deeply religious, profoundly spiritual and call themselves "God's chosen people."

Needless to say the muslims wreak havoc in the name of Allah. Need I say more? This sudden unrest is not going to go away quickly... and I believe will set out a chain of events (along with other happenings around the globe) that might truly culminate in what is widely talked about these days as the 2012 prophecy.

Is this fight about territory, or is it about religion? Is it about justice vs. injustice or about our lack of tolerance of each other? 

It is time for nations all over the world to get deeply involved in the Palestinian-Israeli issue, and for all leaders of organized religion (which I've always found questionable) to also get involved and make a genuine effort to meet and listen to each other and have a profound dialogue among themselves on how to better this situation, instead of standing in their palaces and waving to the crowds. It is inhumane for Palestinians to continue living the way they live, and Israelis should be able to rest assure that nearest café will not be bombed at any given moment.
