Israeli aircraft pounded Gaza for a second day on Sunday, increasing the death toll to nearly 300. The continued strikes, which Israel said were in retaliation for sustained rocket fire from Gaza into its territory, unleashed a furious reaction across the Arab world, raising fears of greater instability in the region. Israel made a strong push to justify the attacks, saying it was forced into military action to defend its citizens. At the same time, the supreme religious leader of Iran and the leader of Hezbollah expressed strong support for Hamas. Hamas said Israel bombed a government ministry compound and the Islamic University in Gaza, a stronghold of Hamas, late Sunday night. The Hamas-owned television station Al Aqsa was also struck, as was a mosque that the Israeli military said was being used as a terrorist base.
According to me, none of these statements explain the reason why innocent people die. What I believe as Jimi Hendriks said; ' When the power of love overcomes the love of power, there will be peace in the World.' But when??
