We should all want peace. Unfortunately, it is not always simple. Hamas is a terrorist organisation that does not value human life. They are happy to let their own people die to achieve their goals. More deaths serve their propaganda purpose. Much of the media highlight this loss of life and promote Hamas propaganda.

Israel have tried to guide the civilian populations to the safest areas in Gaza. The UN have been very slow at reaching these areas. Aid trucks have been allowed in to reach these people but Hamas have stolen some of this aid. Gazans are experiencing shortages but this has more to do with Hamas using these resources such as fuel and electricity to continue their rocket attacks into Israel and sometimes on their own people.

Israel's efforts to help Gazan civilians is compromising their own operations. They are giving away information that Hamas can use against the IDF. This prolongs the war and will result in even more loss of life. The UN are attempting to hold Israel to standards they have never done with the US or even Russia.

The best way forward for peace is the defeat of Hamas. In the long run, this is for the benefit of both Israelis and Palestinians.
