Middle East, what a pickle.

Christmas; a time for peace and goodwill was two days ago and the Middle East is once again a tinder box. It is once again time to play tit for tat, this bomb for that one and that life for another one. Have these lunatics ever heard the saying 'two wrongs don't make a right?'

This Crisis has challenged many of the World's top thinkers and leaders and there is no doubt it will continue to do so. Today's attacks were provoked by missile fire into Israel from Hamas and Israel was right to strike Hamas' terrorist camps. The fact is that no peace or prosperity can be expected in this Palestine when it's Governments main political aim is the destruction of Israel. The message from me; a person who tries so hard to be positive, is simple and direct to the people of Palestine . . . if you want peace and prosperity: do not elect terrorists, the same people who claim to be building your schools and hospitals are the people who provoke others to destroy them.
