Headlines

I'm sure all of you know what's the latest, hottest news in the newspaper. I was looking at the newspaper the other day and saw the headlines where there were people demonstrating against the war. And this made me wonder and ponder upon this war. How and why it started, why did it had to be this way and what has been done to stop this war. And this, of course leads us to the ultimate question of, who is right and who is wrong?

Well as most of you would have know how it started. It was due to a few rockets being fired at Israel by the Palestinians. And Israel or any country who have people shooting rockets at them would of course defend themselves. The step Israel took was deploy armies into the Gaza strip where they well, wrecked havoc there.
From this point, it looks like a trade to me. A barter trade. Palestinians stop bombing, Israel stop their mass killing.
Well, so far, there has been conference where UN told them to stop but till now, nothing has been done. NATO. No Action, Talk Only.
And then there was the idea of deploying ally trope to help Palestinians. If they do so, wouldn't other countries who support Israel deploy their own troops in? And well, we all know the big guns are on which side.
And lastly, it brings us to the question who is actually right and wrong. Well just an opinion from me, both side are wrong in their own way. Palestinians shouldn't have fired rockets at Israel at the first place. And Israel well, shouldn't they try and catch the culprits that fired the rocket instead of marching into the Gaza strip with armies?
