Gaza: The unnecessary war

At the amnesty international site you can send a letter to the foreign secretary of state about how the fighting cannot go on. If you are interested, you can try one. Here as an example is the letter that I sent.

The Gaza crisis. It has been regarded by a ridiculous amount of people as Israel's right to defend themselves, people who claim this have not gathered enough information to make that claim. The war in Gaza is simply an unnecessary war made by people who aren't willing to co-operate and act like adults, but are behaving instead like little children, who are fighting over a toy.

Firstly, the rocket attacks on Israel could be solved by some simple talking. The Israelis claim the siege on Gaza started as a retaliation to the rockets, yet Hamas claim that the rocket attacks started as a retaliation to the siege. The solution should be clear. Israel stops the siege and Gaza has no choice, they must stop the rocket attacks. Problem solved.

But of course it couldn't be that simple. Israel can't lose it's pride, they think, the only choice is to launch a ground offensive to force Gaza to stop the rocket attacks. The Israeli Prime Minister thought that was the only choice.

About 900 people in Gaza have died. Most of them were innocent. 900 deaths. Well how much deaths from the rocket strikes were there? 4.

The people had to use the schools as shelters. They had no other choice. The Israel army surely wouldn't attack a school? Yet they did. They claimed there were weapons stored there that would be used against them. There wasn't.

When will anyone realise, maybe, just maybe, they might have lied? Maybe there is more to this attack than the Israel government claim?

So please, if there is anything you ca do to stop this pointless fight that has gone way too far, then do it. The quicker the war stops the better. Make things better before Gaza gets to the point where it can never get better.
