There has been a flurry of mail regarding the ongoing Gaza offensive and the almost continuous bombardment of the Palestinian vital points by the Israeli defence forces. The world was stunned in the initial stages and urged Israel to call off their offensive, a message that had the blessings of the United Nations Organisation too. But Israel had bashed on regardless till the 72 hour truce that had come in place a couple of days ago.
One had always wondered as to why Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel was risking an isolation by the world community, at large, on his relentless aggression on the Hamas and its strongholds.
And then comes the details of an offensive tunnel network on the Palestinian side of the Gaza, built over the years, by the Hamas group to carry out terrorist attacks on Israel. The visuals shown in some of the mail show that the tunnels are big enough to facilitate vehicular movements - an aspect that would help the terror squads to get in and out of their target points with impunity.
A frightening situation, sadly! Can people harbour so much of hatred towards the other so as to incite passions to annihilate the people they hate? Don't these people know that the only one who has the right to take life away is none other than but God, himself? The laughable part about the terrorist's thinking is that they've to do the killings to placate their God and attain heaven after death, by doing so. What the people being initiated into this deadly game don't realise - until perhaps, it's too late - is that their gullibility is being exploited by a deadly mix of religious zealots, guys who've been utter failures in their lives and who thrive on other's woes and miseries.
Tailpiece.
(a) My tears and prayers for the innocent people who've lost their lives in the crossfire.
(b) And not to forget, this is the 69th anniversary of the Nagasaki destruction, during the II World War, by the second atomic bomb! Spare a thought for the thousands who'd perished and many more who continue to suffer from genetic disorders, consequent to the blast!!
