Hamas vs Israel in the streets of Gaza

[AGDee]

I would say I'm pretty much in agreement with Ban who said "To both sides, I say: Just stop, now," the U.N. chief said. "Too many people have died. There has been too much civilian suffering. Too many people, Israelis and Palestinians, live in daily fear of their lives."

This is one of those conflicts that seemingly has no resolution. It's been going on for decades and will probably continue to go on for decades. Sad.

From a Paris paper -

"The European Union (EU) criticized the Israeli incursion into Gaza this week as a violation of international law. Louis Michel, the EU's aid chief, called upon Jerusalem "to respect their international obligations and ensure a humanitarian space for the delivery of vital relief." Michel underscored that "blocking access to people who are suffering and dying" forms a breach of "humanitarian law" as does the infliction itself of high number--some 500--of civilian casualties.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has not respected international humanitarian aid efforts during its war on Gaza, given that only one crossing into Gaza is open and a naval blockade remains in place. The latter has been ongoing for eighteen months."
