The Gaza Strip is this piece land bordering Israel and Egypt that's been the source of dispute and conflict for some time now. We've been hearing and seeing the bombings which have been relentless. Both sides claim they're in the right, yet it is Israel that seems to be the merciless aggressor since its response is immensely "disproportionate" when compared to the sporadic rockets fired on Israel by forces of Hamas, which stands as its ruling party.

I'm not about to add to the fires with this already deteriorating situation and hundreds of lives already lost by whining about the injustice or immorality of it all. What I am asking though is that the very least, what that we can do is to PRAY that this gets crisis gets resolved at the soonest possible time. Although the political situation can not be improved any time in the forseeable future, the bombings have to stop!
