The great Mahathma Gandhi advocated protests of non-violence. He was against revengeful actions of violent nature. "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind," he said. What Israel is doing now is not 'an eye for an eye', but ten eyes for an eye! About 1200 Israelis had died when Hames first incursed into Israel. But in return, Israel is responsible for the deaths of over 17000 Palestinians, so far! So tragically unfair!
Won't a reasonably long-lasting peace ever be achieved in these areas of the Middle East? What Nobel Peace Prize laureates of yesteryears, Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin, Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Shimon Pères had so toiled for seems to be in name only now; all gone to waste. How sad and disappointing!
Speaking of the Nobel Peace Prize, is it not appropriate to give it to Qatar, which, to everyone's relief, stepped forward and made it possible to achieve at least a ceasefire in those agonizing times in Gaza, when humans were being killed and maimed, mercilessly!
