BBC NEWS | Middle East | UN chief demands Gaza ceasefire
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate end to fighting in the Gaza Strip during a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York.
Mr Ban criticised both Israel for its bombardment of Gaza and Hamas for firing rockets into Israel.
Is it just me, or is the UN looking more and more like its impotent predecessor the League of Nations? It talks and talks and doesn’t actually do anything constructive. And dear Israel, as much as i am sympathetic, you have the tendency to do stupid things. This is one of those. Airbombing Gaza will not stop rocket attacks. It really doesn’t do anything useful other than help with political grandstanding and breeding even more crazy suicidal martyrs. In the end, it is the innocents who suffer and the cycle of violence will continue its inexorable path of carnage.
