Hopefully everyone's been paying attention to the recent escalating tensions in Gaza Strip. Today it boiled over.
Is it right for an army to invade a territory of mostly unarmed civilian minus politics to rescure a single soldier?
Before Israel decided unliterally, with the U.S' support for "tough action against terrorists" launch an incursion into Gaza, the Palestinian people had been suffering from sanctions and boiling civil war. With Israel's quick okayed blitz into Southern Rafah after it blew out the electricity for the entire Strip, it is unfair to punish an entire population all because of the actions of a few militants. It was wrong for Hamas to kill two Israeli soldiers and kidnap a third and a settler which they killed earlier today. Yet it is equally wrong for Israel to knock out electricity for an entire territory and threaten invasion, while keeping the impoverish people on the edge. Two wrongs do not make a right.
