Time to stop

• Israel’s military operation in Gaza has the potential to spread or at least engender conflict beyond West Asia. The principal adversaries are determined to not retreat from their stated objectives, since doing so would mean losing home support. Given the complexity of the problem and the mutual mistrust, the UN should carry on from its call for an immediate ceasefire, but not expect immediate success. If Israel continues the assault, it will only strengthen the jihadis.

GazaBy: Frank Khan | 09-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Sir, - The Israeli air assault on Gaza is akin to the British Air Force bombing the Republic of Ireland's border areas with Northern Ireland during The Troubles, when some operations were launched from there by the IRA or Republican splinter groups. Though subjected to many attacks (e.g., the bombing of Omagh in in 1998, in which 29 people were killed) Britain never did that, and wisely so. There would have been a worldwide outcry at such a hugely disproportionate reaction and, of course, also an assault on another sovereign state. Admittedly, Gaza is not a sovereign state, but it is a territory with its own democratically elected administration, albeit one Israel may not like. While Israel has every right to exist and defend itself from attack, the bombing of Gaza, even if it is targeted at Hamas, is over the top. It is simply puttng back the chances of peace in the region for years if not decades.What's needed is sincere dialogue and compromise as happened in N.Ireland

carnage at GazaBy: yasmin | 08-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward The carnage of innocent lives taking place in Gaza is more than ten days old and still the international community is unable to bring any form of solace to the besieged strip. Even schools run by the UN comes under the telescope of Israel army, as innocent children became victims. The drama choreographed and orchestrated by Israel under the false pretext of securing its borders, have well capitalized on the lives of people as their elections are round the corner. Gaza from 1967 war has been one of the world’s open prisons where the inhabitants of 1.5 millions people are struggling with a life of penury, humiliation, malnutrition and illiteracy within the radius of 20 miles. The economic blockage and inability of the NGO to bring essential commodities makes the Gazans an excruciating life and detoriating at every mayhem Israel leashes. Israel forgot that they have to live with the same neighbours, as they do not have a choice. The Panacea lies in open dialogue
