Israeli reservists sent into Gaza - AlJazeera
The Israeli offensive against Gaza has entered its third week; we have seen UN resolutions being ignored, Egypt trying to mend things, the whole world protesting and more than 900 Palestinians killed; a quarter of them being children.
You think that it cannot get any worse and you pray that it will not. But, as it always is, the cruel reality takes over.
If you think about it thoroughly, there is no more reason for the Israeli army to keep on attacking Gaza since, until now, it has not been able to stop rockets being fired into the damn nation. Rockets are still being fired, plus, now, they are being fired from other countries as well. Lebanon and Syria. So, what is the point, you might ask? They should really stop already. Well, you do not really need a genius to tell you that...those are just cover-ups.
