Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And on the other hand, we see that the Israeli government is attacking that part of the Palestinian leader.
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel.
It's always convenient for certain people to heap accusations on Israel.
Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Needless to say, if the Arab-Israeli conflict is about interstate disputes and the need to resolve the future of the West Bank and Gaza, it can be solved; if it is a religious conflict, nothing but violence is ahead.
Incitement and anti-Arab hatred increased significantly during the Gaza conflict.
The actions of the terrorist organizations, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, and Hamas, in Gaza, against Israel are unconscionable. Instead of working towards peace, these terrorist organizations have chosen to perpetuate the violence.
Hamas is responsible for countless homicide bombings that have killed hundreds of Israeli citizens. They have waged a terror war with the sole intent of murdering innocent people.
And in this respect, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy, a clash between one very powerful, very convincing, very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful, no less convincing claim.
My friends, there is no Palestinian-Israeli conflict. There is only the global war on terrorism.
