Cease-fire for Hamas and Israel

Some where in Gaza, God have mercy.

The other day news had it that the military heard of Hamas, Mr. Jabari in the middle East was killed in an attack by Israel. Guess what? it was like all of hell broke loose and there was bombing and trading of ballistic missiles back and forth Gaza and Israel. In less than 24 hours there were casualties pronounced from both sides of the conflict. Israel declared it was doing what was supposed to do o protect its people and Gaza said they were doing the same and not happy about the blockade. Gaza by the way is considered the most populous nation in the world, very dense population wise. A rocket from Israel that lands in Gaza is guaranteed a significant damage but the Gaza's rockets doesn't get into Israel because they have the missile defense dooms which prevents missiles from reaching their target of Southern Israel.

So in the end, their conflict grasped the attention of the international community because more and more Gaza people were getting killed than the Israelis. The reason also being, Hamas, thus in the Gaza Strip doesn't have a standing army like their opponent Israel which was a concern by many. Some people even got to the point of accusing Israel of committing atrocities by killing the helpless folks in Gaza. Why this conflict in the first place if you ask? It is simply because of their chronic territorial dispute which for some reasons existed since the beginning of time over there in the middle East. Israel has always had problems trying to stay safe in a region they can hardly pinpoint an ally. Of course the international community had to come in, with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in the region for cease-fire talks followed by the outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Egypt with Mr. Morsi and in the end, they were able to arrive on a cease-fire deal. I  glad and was able to catch glimpse of folks on TV in Gaza celebrating the cease-fire deal. These poor folks were happy to be free at last from all the troubles from this brief conflict. Nobody wants war, everybody wants to live their lives in peace, live and do the things that makes them happy.

Peace stand still, no fighting and fussing, for that comes with huge prices attached to be paid with blood.

Let there be peace in the world and not just in the middle East. Even as I talk, there is a 20 months old war still in progress in Syria and so as a civil war going on in DRC, my own continent. I don't really know what the hell is wrong with these people in Africa. Living and dying of hunger yet they have what it takes to fight?

God have mercy and don't always forget to pray for the world we inhabit.

Yours humble fellow,
