Dear Editor,
Everyone should be appalled at what is happening in Gaza. Saying that this is genocide and the deliberate bombing of women, children is an atrocity and a war crime, is not enough. This may sound good on the surface but this is one side of the argument, Israel’s official justification is the rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza on their citizens. What would happen if Hamas was to stop the rocket attacks? How do you target attackers in crowded Gaza where attacks can be launched from schools, mosques or any public place or building? The two-state solution is the answer but extremists on either side could prevent this from happening. The UN or another independent body is needed first to preserve security and then work for a just settlement.
Yours faithfully,
