This is a tragedy which however may simply have lost its power to outrage through familiarity. In this latest episode, 13 people have lost their lives in Gaza and three in Israel. Several questions arise. It should be patently clear however – at least to outside observers and governments – that the question “Who was more to blame on this occasion?” will not, and will never, lead anywhere.

As the realities dictate : THE UNITED NATIONS ARE NEITHER UNITED NOR DO THEY REPRESENT NATIONS - THE UN IS MAINLY A CIRCLE COMPOSED OF INNER CIRCLES ALL PROTECTING THEIR PERSPECTIVE PARTICULAR INTERESTS.
