One again I have to write about war between Israel and Palestine. Is it not time for the fighting to stop? There is a solution to be gained and it is based upon human rights. The Palestinians are entitled to live in peace without their civilians being bombed. Israel has a right to exist as an independent state without their citizens being subject to attack from outside sources. The time for ethnic war and cleansing must stop. Invading and attacking forces on both sides must stop. There should be a two states solution implemented. Surely, the Palestinians have the right o there own state?
I despair for the human race, we are all from the same sub-species and race, but we are divided by religious and ethnic considerations. However, this is no reason for war. Human beings are the worse species of animals on the planet and it seems that not for one minute can we curb our aggressive nature and the desire for revenge. We cannot grow out of the irrational attitude that, " they started it and now we are going to finish it".
There is now a case for a solution to be imposed upon the combattants by the United Nations; so the UN Security Council should give the General Secretary the authority to impose a solution backed up by sanctions and force if necessary. Peace needs to be achieved, and who knows the peace may lead to a rapprochement?
Of course, this will not happen and it looks as though attack and revenge attack will be the continuous modus operandi of both the Israelis and the Palestinians. I appeal to both sides to stop the killing, wounding and devastation now.
