UN suspends Gaza aid operation

[Vergil the Fallen]

This is sad. I now mark the Isreali govt. as the most corrupt, most immoral and inhuman govt. in the entire world. I had my doubts before but it was solidified when i read this. They, in the previous week, attacked a UN school killing more than 40 Palestinians, ALL of them innocent. The only hope the Palestinians had through the UN relief operation was hindered because of this. Now with the everyday of business of mass slaughter, the survivors will have to hold this heavy burden too.
In light of the current UN involvement, i think their usefulness is limited to aid operations (which now has been halted). Their condemnation will not matter till the US govt. proceeds to take some drastic action against Israel which is seemingly impossible to do because of the internal complications.
I pray for the 770 Palestinians who have lost their lives because a nation has a hard-on for killing a weaker nation's innocent citizens. May they find their due place in Heaven and similarly may the Israeli leaders find theirs in Hell. Isreali people are innocent and are not involved in the accusations since they protested this onslaught in Tel Aviv. May their voices be heard but that is seemingly far fetched.
i made this separate thread because this issue needed to be seen in a different light because this concerns more of a failure of the UN aid operations.

Story

The UN's main aid agency has suspended its operations in Gaza because its staff have been hit by Israeli attacks.
The suspension would continue "until the Israeli authorities can guarantee our safety and security", the UN said.
Meanwhile, the US, UK and France have dropped opposition to a UN resolution urging an immediate ceasefire, and Arab nations are studying a draft.
It comes on day 13 of an offensive by Israel aimed at stopping Palestinian militants firing rockets from Gaza.
The US, UK and France had wanted a weaker statement from the 15-nation UN Security Council, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan in New York says.
But Arab foreign ministers said anything less than a binding resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire would be an inadequate response to the crisis, our correspondent says.
If the Arab nations' response to the draft resolution is positive, a vote could happen later.
The draft calls for an immediate ceasefire, action to stop the smuggling of arms by Hamas across the Egypt-Gaza border and the opening of border crossings into Gaza so aid can be delivered.
At least 765 Palestinian lives are said by sources in Gaza to have been lost since the offensive began 13 days ago.
Three more Israeli soldiers were killed in Thursday, bringing Israel's death toll to 11 military personnel and three civilians.
A captain and a sergeant were shot dead in separate clashes while a major was killed by an anti-tank missile, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.

You know I don't want to get to political however this has been going on for years. And I haven't studied the history behind this but wasn't it the Palestinians who started this way back when and from what I understand Israel is just trying to defend themselves from hostile take-over by the Arab nations.

Dude, rly it doens't matter who starded. In my opinion both are guilty for there actions.
My personal opinion is that a war should be solved by two armys or politicians... BUT there shouldn't be an army killing and terorising civilists!!!

I hate war! I've lost familly in the war in Bosnia and it was the same case of terrorism.
I hope that there will not be a 2nd Srebrenica

I'm rly sry for the ppl...

Saying that you haven't studied the history behind this war doesn't give you the right to say things that you don't know about. You know, Politics is not a game.

Sorry people I should have researched a little more before I said anything. I was just going by what I heard on the news. I'm sorry if I pissed anyone off.
(and thats exactly why I don't talk politics)

Guys, let this be a cool discussion. Yes, tempers may rise, not me withstanding, but try to control them as much as possible. Good discussions can be done without heated tempers.

I'd say this is just the beginning, but we all know this has been going on since the Crusades...So I guess I should say, this will only get worse.

[rozarazan]

it is just that these ppl made a lot of sacrifices to protect their rights and land ,and such things cannot be dishonored ,i'm aware of the fact that the media switch facts and hide truths ,but i also believe that we are responsible for finding the truth of what we hear

[fidosdeader]

i felt really sad this week when hearing more and more Palestinians being killed every single day....
