Appeal to Stop the War
Israel’s war against Hamas is continuing even UNO has asked the Israel to stop it. But the question is why Israel is not agreeing with UNO and ignoring the International appeals to stop the war.
In my view, this is because the Israel, need to set goals to figure out its policy toward the West Bank and Gaza for future with the support of USA. No doubt both sides wishe to continue the situation that began in 1967, when the Israel took control of a population that is religiously, culturally, economically, and politically different and hostile but the role of ideological extremism, antisemitism, jihadism and warlordism have resulted a failure of 1993 agreement of Oslo.
Gaza is arguably more a part of Egypt than of “Palestine.” During most of the Islamic period, it was either controlled by Cairo or part of Egypt administratively. Economically, Gaza has most connections to Egypt. Hamas itself derives from the Muslim Brethren, an Egyptian organization. Is it time to think of Gazans as Egyptians?
The overcrowded and aid-dependent land of some 1.5 million people has been subject to Israeli blockade and repeated raids since 2006. Israel cut off much movement of goods and people in and out of the territory in June 2007 after Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, seized Gaza by ousting forces loyal to secular Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Aid groups repeatedly appealed to Israel to lift the restrictions to avoid a humanitarian crisis in the overcrowded territory where most of the population depends on foreign aid which Israel refused and as a result, Hammas started its activities.
Here being the members of “Friends of Peace”, appeal both parties to stop the war and mediate the issue on International forum or through the UNO. If Israelis are killed or Palestinians, the matter is same, humanity is degraded. The color of blood is same of all children which are killed may be it Israeli or Palestinian. We ask the Friends of Peace scattered all over the world to raise their voice to ask both parties to stop the killings and pray also for peace.
