Israeli attacks would fuel radicalization
The statements from the Whitehouse national security adviser Gordon Johndroe and President elect Obama have shocked the International community. They said that Israel would continue attacks until Hamas changed its behavior.
Mr. Gordon Johndroe said:
“They are working on decreasing the number of Israeli citizens who are vulnerable … so they are going to continue to deal at this time with the Hamas terrorist threat.”
It is wrong to assume that Israel can stop rockets this way. It will only radicalize the situation and increase support for Hamas.
UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband expressed the same opinion while talking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. He said such attacks would fuel radicalization.
Israel is using force disproportionately. It is wrong to punish Palestinian people for the crimes committed by few misguided Islamic militants.
