Destruction in LebanonFor almost two weeks now, the war between Israel and Hezbollah has been destroying lives on both sides. Everything has started withthe kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by the Hezbollah. The reaction of Israel has been a shock and awe. Israel is trying to destroy the Hezbollah. Israeli has been looking for that opportunity for a long time and this kidnapping of the two sodiers has given the Tshahal the golden opportunity to decapitate the Hezbollah. War has been total: violent airstrickes, artilery bombing, incursions of special ops forces have been hitting Hesbollah strongholds really hard. The tragedy is that not only Hizbollah fighters are being pounded. Civilians are also persishing. At the same time, the Hezbollah has been firing Katoucha rockets into Israel, reaching cities far away like Haifa and causing innocent victims on the Israeli side too. It’s just sad. It’s just destruction everywhere. On both sides, the killing goes on. Innocent women, children,…are suffering and don’t know who to turn to.

Be it in Haifa or in the Southern neighborhoods of Beirut, war is taking innocent lives, destroying infrastructures, dangerously jeopardizing peace and the future of generations. How can the world get out of this mess? God only knows. I just want peace for all the parties involved in the conflict. Each one of them has its part of responsibility. Now is not the moment to point fingers. The International community must do something to save all those women and children caught in the middle of the cross fires. People hurt both in Israel and in Lebanon. The rest of the world cannot afford to stand on the side and watch that armaggedon take place under its eyes. Where is the UN? Why so much destruction? Why so much tears and blood? Why so much pain and hatred? There is just too much suffering going on. Let’s give peace a chance!
