Israeli attacks

Israel’s attack on a U.N. school in Gaza, killing 40 Palestinians allegedly using unconventional weapons (Jan. 7) is shocking.

The photograph of the children wounded in the attack and waiting for treatment presents a heart-rending sight. How can civilised nations continue to watch the crime against humanity?

It was painful to see the photograph of innocent Palestinian children killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza (Jan. 6).

The mere condemnation of Israel is not enough. The international community should take effective steps to restrain it.
