THE MIDEAST CONFLICT SHOULD HAVE A SOLUTION-IT'S  LONG OVERDUE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

The 22nd. day of fighting between Israel and Gaza. The bloodiest day so far with 128 Palestinians dead.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  said this will be a prolonged war. Israel is using tanks, airplanes, sophisticated weapons  and all of the military might that te United States gave them. In fact, in congress today, the   lawmakers are passing a  bill giving Israel BILLIONS of dollars to improve the "iron dome" that we gave them years ago. It's not enough that the iron dome is stopping the majority of rockets  fired into Israel. Now we, the good ol' USA is going to give Israel BILLIONS more to improve on a system that has been working. I guess it's not enough to have Israel slaughter the Palestinians by the thousands. Apparently, congress in their fervor for Israel want the Palestinian's wiped out in larger numbers.

There have been proven reports that Israel has already lied about bombing a school and hospital. It appears they faked a video to try to pace the blame on Hamas. Israel states that Hamas has rockets fixed in the hospitals and schools and that is the reason they bomb these places. Really? Can we trust Netanyahu's  words?

It appears Netanyahu really wants to destroy all of the building and homes that he can. It looks as though he wants to kill as many Palestinian men, women and children as he can under the guise of "self-defense." The words for that is "the fog of war". It's an excuse to do as much destruction as one can to the other side.

Currently the Israeli's made sure that the people living in Gaza has no electricity or water. This is a world fiasco and shame on the world for letting Israel get away with this shameful massacre.

Folks, Israel is murdering the Palestinians like they were  fish in a barrel. Example: Israel has the planes, the tanks,the heavy weapons and the support of the USA intelligence community. The poor Palestinians fight the Israeli's with rocks and sticks.

I ask you? What would you do if another nation invaded your state (i.e.) New York, Florida, California --(pick any state) with military might and then occupied that state for decades telling you you can't travel, you can't move around in certain areas? What if you needed the occupiers permission to move about to shop, visit, etc.? I know what you would do --you would fight the occupiers with every breath in your body. No person wants trampled on and told  when and where they can walk and socialize. People, that is what Israel has done for years and years. They, with their military might force the Palestinians to live a miserable life. The Palestinians have to adhere to the forceful orders of Israel or pay the consequences.  That's no way to live.

The sad part of all of this Mideast situation is that the United States has chosen sides and partnered up with Israel. We give them most everything they want and ask for. That's wrong!

What the USA should be is an honest broker. Equality and parity  is important when dealing with two  different factions. I would think that if we gave Israel an iron dome we should have given  the Palestinians an iron dome. If we gave Israel 10 fighter jets, we should give the same to  the Palestinians. The same goes for weapons-- whatever we give Israel we should also give the Palestinians.  Everybody appreciates an even playing field, especially in the Mideast region.

There is never going to be peace  due to the fact that Israel always finds an excuse to sabotage any upcoming peace talks. This same posture has been ongoing for decades. I would suggest that the only way to have peace in the region is to have the rest of the world insist on it. Call together the U.N. and other world powers -- then advise BOTH sides that they will have to live with the borders and rules that the world lays out for them.

Hell, we had no problem with going into Bosnia and separating that country into different factions; we had no problem with going into Iraq and separating the factions, the same in Afghanistan.  What about Korea and Vietnam  Nam. They were divided up by world powers.  So, why do we continually allow Israel to occupy another people (for decades) and dictate their comings and goings?  We can use the UN and world troops to enforce the peace regarding Israel and the Palestinians. And we should do it. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
