Dear Editor,
The war in the Middle East is currently being waged for several weeks and has resulted in the loss of nearly 2,000 Palestinian lives and about five Israelis. This has left me very confused.
In addition to the loss of lives it is being reported that nearly 400,000 Palestinians have been uprooted and have nowhere to go. And even if they find shelter in a school they are likely to be bombed.
But this is what I cannot comprehend. While the television cameras show total destruction in Gaza, with dead and injured children all over the streets, I am yet to see one picture of a building destroyed or anybody lying dead in the streets of Israel. All while they claim that the Palestinians are firing thousands of rockets into their cities.
It is my considered opinion that when the current prime minister of Israel came to power his sole intention was to wipe Gaza from the face of the earth and it appears he may yet succeed.
