Day 1, Oh the Horror, Someone think of the children.

First things first, I've learned from reading the newspaper, that our world has turned to shit. The end.

Here's a few articles that I've come across from the last month.

Left: A UN school was bombed, 16 Palestinians were killed in the school, another 17 in a nearby market. The UN warned Israel of the amount of people within the building 17 times.



The devastation and horror that is currently happening in Gaza, it has been going on since the 8th of July, starting with three Israeli students being kidnapped, a manhunt was arranged to track down the three young Israeli students and their captors, they were to be found  later, executed, with bullet casings surround their bodies. An act that could never be forgiven, the Israeli people were outraged, understandably, and blamed Hamas as being the culprit, they continued their manhunt and invaded Gaza so that they could apprehend Hamas operatives. The situation has spiraled out of control. A young Palestinian boy was found burned alive, seen as a national incident, revenge for the young boys who were executed. Rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel after the arrests and murder, being believed, but not proven to be Palestinian militant groups working under Hamas, the Israeli forces responded with more force attacking 34 sites with airstrikes, a devastating, unmerciful retaliation.
 The Israel community have created a war-zone in Gaza, with no remorse they continuously attack and bomb the streets, knowing they contain innocent lives. Near 1,800 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of whom were harmless civilians, women, children, whole families have been wiped off the register, leaving no one left to carry on the bloodline. Although Israel states that around 900 of them were combatants. Compared to the 64 Israeli lives which were lost, 11 of whom were soldiers. Such large numbers, each of which is a life... think about that for a second, people with lives, families... all but a number now to be shown on the news. It's a monstrosity, so much death, and for what? People have become monsters, it's like we've forgotten that a life is precious, not something to be snuffed out by the hundreds with one rocket, it makes it impersonal, numbering them, soldiers don't even have to feel the impact of taking a life. Sure they only press a trigger and that's that.
This whole incident demonstrates the cruelty of man, the disregard for human life, the immoral and irresponsible use of weaponry, which has taken any personal impact of killing a man away from the hand which pulls the trigger... The smoking barrel of a gun, has evolved into the smoking ruins of a city .
