Dousing Middle East strife

Isolate Israel so it opens its eyes to the horror it's causing.

War represents anti-development, pain, death, destruction and an end to all forms of humanity. Yet, the Middle East, as if not bothered by that, continues to fuel war that leads to an uninspired world as many feel the wrath of Israel being inflicted on them as they suffer at the hands of its atrocities.

Regardless of the calls and diplomatic actions to ensure that the conflict in the region, more especially between Israel and Palestine, is resolved with lives preserved, we see the conflict escalating as the world watches in horror.

As if what has been happening hasn't traumatized the world enough, Israel's latest attack on Lebanon as it seeks to diffuse all links to the embattled Palestine is evidence enough that Israel is not interested in peacefully resolving the conflict.

And after Iran retaliated for the cruel attack on Lebanon through a barrage of missiles on Israel, it is proving that the world has a long way until this grave injustice on the innocent comes to an end.
