UN security council has issued a ‘strong’ statement on the killing of over 300 people in Gaza strip by Israel’s assualt which Israel calls its right of self defence. In the statement, security council has called for end to violence by both parties. There is no mention of Israel or Hamas. There is no concern about the disproportionate use of force by Israel killing and wounding hundreds of people.

The UN secretary general voiced his concern in a statement issued by his spokeswoman Michele Montas:

“He deplores that violence is continuing today, and he strongly urges once again an immediate stop to all acts of violence.”

You can feel the stength in the statement and can see how strongly he has responded to Israel’s attack on Gaza. I am sure this statement must have send a strong signal to Israel and Hamas to stop attacking each other and Israel might have stopped the attacks by now after all the chief of UN has issued that strong statement.

It is no surprise to me at all that not even a single world leader has voiced a word against such barbarian act by Israel, however, these leaders are very quick to raise their voice when ever Hamas fires rockets into Israel. After all only free nations have the right of self defence as Israel but slaves have no such right. Israel’s attack is always right of self defence and Hamas rocket fires are always aggression. 

I do put some ressponsibilty on Hamas for these killings as Hamas should stop useless rocket fires which are aimed at harming Palestinians and not Israelis. However, no one can justify the use of force by Israel killing hundreds of people .
