Inside Story - Gaza regional impact - 06 Jan 09 - Part 1

A week and a half since Israel started its campaign in Gaza and there is now talk of the conflict spilling into other parts of the region.

As diplomats and political leaders throughout the Middle East scramble to find ways to bring an end to the war, can a prolonged battle with an increasing number of victims spill into neighbouring countries?

Inside Story, presenter David Foster is joined by Timur Goksel, a former senior advisor of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon; Mounzer Sleiman, the director of the Center for American and Arab Studies in Washington DC; and Robert Jordan, a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

It is so nice to see something written that transcends all the superficial "reasons" given in the name of KILLING.

Thankyou.

If we were all humanitarians this warfare would cease overnight. That is one aspect that makes this so sad.

"Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see".

Imagine what LOVE could do if we allowed it in our hearts, if we put our egos aside and reached out to eachother as fellow human souls. We ALL hurt Love for our fellow man could do wonders. Try!

Before we are Israeli or Palestinian, or Muslim,Jewish etc

Before we are political, and before we are militant...WE ARE HUMAN! If those amomst us feel the need to cover up this fact with nationality and religeon, then thats your choice...but if it stops you being able to relate to the human cost because you can only see through politically opinionated eyes...then you have lost what makes you human...YOUR SOUL!
