I'm not ignoring your comments about chemical weapon usage in Gaza. I simply just don't have any independently verified evidence that they are being used. I'm fairly sure that's true for anybody living outside the Middle East.

Lots of things happen in the Middle East that the rest of the world is unaware of.

I'm just one of the millions of people round the world who want the killing of Palestinians and Israelis to stop.

From the TV reports I can see the conditions of hardship that the Palestinians are living under.The lack of basic amenities like electricity, running water, food, medicine, housing etc all contribute to put an unbearable burden on the people living there.I can only imagine how hard daily life is and how worrying & stressful the situation must be.

But the firing of missiles does not improve matters. It simply makes them worse.

As things stand, the bitterness between Palestinians & Israelis is such that they will be locked into a lifelong struggle with generations of future children on both sides being committed to the war effort. Money and resources which could be used to rebuild life in Gaza will be wasted on weapons.

Someone, somewhere has to have a vision of peace and be brave enough to say that enough is enough ; that war is not the best way to resolve differences, but sadly I think a lot of people are going to die unneccessarily before that happens.

Let's hope a mutually peaceful solution comes sooner rather than later.
