living under threat
In 2005 Israel unilaterally left Gaza Strip leaving it all to Palestinians. At the same time she never ceased delivering electricity (though Gaza authorities collecting money from recipients don't pay for it Israeli company), water or urgent and specialised medical care.
Leaving Strip Israelis left vegetable cultivation plants that were operating there. They were ruined in a short time. Gaza authorities never build a hospital and all schools were foreign financed. By the contrast authorities in Gaza built app. 400 mosques and have enough financial posssibilities to have shot more than 12,000 rockets, some very advanced, during last 7 years. They fire indiscriminately hoping to take as many lives as possible.
Here are some stories:
missile from Gaza hits school bus
rocket falls on kindergarden (miracoulously that day it was closed for renovation, thus no victims)
rocket hits yeshiva - 10 injured
Most of those stories as well as horror of one million Israelis having to spend a lot of time in shelters you won't be able to find in mainstream media. It is not a story for them. The story begins when Israel hits back.
Due to post-stress disorder thousands of Israeli kids suffer neuro-somatic diseasies and take years longer to be potty trained.
But these children are no topic for European press.... :( :( :(
Imagine a tiny country with more than 13% of her population living under fire. Wouldn't you expect your government to protect you and your children?
My heart goes for innocent Israeli and innocent Palestinian children. The first are hated and targeted by Hamas the other are used as shields by Hamas's terrorists.
It is war!
But wars (always tragic) are defensive or offensive. Japanese in II WW, Germans in the II WW, Koreans in Korean war all had children, innocent as only children can be. Yet nobody proposed that they may go on killing, targeting others, raping (story of Nankin) and so on and nothing can be done as they are not all bad guys. They were countries, true, but Gaza is as close to a country as they can get -the terrorist country! And while I strongly believe there are peace-wanting Palestinians (not only children) who just don't dare to risk their lives questioning Hamas's internal terror (they not only export it, they live by it) I also know Hamas was elected, it is supported, as were Nazis by Germans (majority!) or Japanese imperial policy by most Japanese!
War is always tragic, true, but defensive war is sometimes necessary - against monsters of history, against criminal regimes, against those who say they want to kill us and live by it!
For Israel responding to Gaza launched rockets is DEFENSIVE and NECESSARY war. Just imagine that for some reason Portugal for 7 years hits Spain with missiles, or Northern Ireland the Republic, or Slovenia Austria, or Utah Arizona and so on. Response???? Sure! And they are ALL bigger and less populated territories than Israel.
Gaza had a chance, they could start trying to build economy, be independent, open borders in perspective (with both Israel and Egypt), try to build a future for their children.
Instead they have chosen to kill, to use their children as suicide bombers, or living shields or victims to show the world. They teach them reliance on others while hating those others at the same time.
It is horrible! They take future from their children while wanting to take lives from Israeli children?
Is war awful? SURE!
Was it necessary? Unfortunately sure again!
