ISLAMABAD: Israeli bombing on Gaza’s unarmed civilian populations continues with the country not listening to anyone in the world. In the midst of growing international calls for ending brutalities and for bringing about an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the obstinate Israeli government continues to follow its own policy, which seems to be to kill as many Palestinian children and unarmed civilians as possible.
In a recent interview with an American news channel, Israel’s prime minister said that his country had “no choice but to defend itself and that the Palestinian militants are to be blamed for the mounting civilian casualties”. The fact is that Israel’s criminal actions have crossed all norms of decency and good sense. Of course, it continues — and will continue — to do this as long as America backs it fully.
