From Sderot to Gaza...
This video contains a selection of video footage that the people of Sderot, Israel want the world to see. The video highlights the damage which results from Qassam/Kassam Rockets that have reportedly been fired by Hamas, from Gaza. It is such Rocket Attacks that Israel uses as justification for its current actions in Gaza. I first want to offer my sympathy and support to the People of Sderot and other areas within Israel that are targeted by Hamas Rockets... I also wish to mention to the Palestinian People, that whilst I am most certainly sympathetic toward the pain and suffering you are forced to endure... I believe that Hamas' actions of targeting innocent Israeli Civilians is not helping your cause... and I ask that you do whatever you can to encourage Hamas to put an end to the firing of Missiles into Israel, so that we who are doing our best to ensure the rights of the Palestinian People are protected, will not be hindered from doing so ! In conclusion... I wish to note that whilst I am fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself... I am totally opposed to the disproportionate manner in which the Israeli Defense Force responds. I believe that the dropping of leaflets to warn Gaza Residents of a pending attack, (apart from littering the city) is of little value when it comes to the protection of innocent civilians. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world... and the people of Gaza do not have the luxury of going elsewhere until things quieten down, due to the fact that they are blocked from leaving Gaza. The 'right of self-defense' requires that measures taken to protect yourself, are proportionate to the threat of which you are faced. You are also required to take all steps necessary to ensure that innocent people are not harmed or killed !!! The actions of both Hamas and the Israeli Defense Force are disgraceful... and as such, the International Community (through the United Nations Security Council) should take whatever action is necessary to ensure an immediate end to hostilities... and work together toward achieving a 'peaceful' resolution which not only prevents further loss of life, but preserves the human rights and dignity of all people affected by the Conflict !!!
