It is unfortunate that the two parties of what was the short lived Palestinian Unity Government created in Mecca are engaged in the beginning of a civil war in Gaza and that one, Hamas, is also fully engaged in forcibly inviting in its Israel enemy. As Israel continues to fire missiles into Gaza at Hamas strongholds it inches closer to the full out ground offensive that Hamas and its Iranian backers so desperately want. Meanwhile a women driving a car in S'derot is killed by a qassam rocket with more coming each day. Israeli soldiers will be executed in the streets of Gaza in a guerrilla war and will be forced to take large and ugly measures to regain military control of the territory that it unilaterally disengaged from. All of this seems increasingly inevitable unless someone acts to stop the madness. I pray the US, EU, Arab League and UN can create a peacekeeping mission that will be strong enough, (including Egyptians and other neighbors), to be respected by Palestinians and Israelis alike.
