Whenever I hear the term: “Middle East peace” I chuckle, as these three words probably make up the most absurd concept in the history of mankind. I really can’t see that there will ever be peace in this region. In fact, even if the state of Israel was to be dissolved and all “holy lands” handed over to the Palestinians, along with having the entire Jewish community relocated to the Moon, there would still be conflict and turmoil in this area, as Muslims have proven they can’t get along with one another.
The bottom line is that it’s all one big disaster-area. TGO

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Officials in Israel and Gaza say Israeli aircraft have carried out retaliatory airstrikes in the territory after militants launched rockets into Israel.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya says the airstrikes overnight lightly wounded eight Palestinians. He says one strike set fire to a Health Ministry medicine warehouse in northern Gaza.
Israel’s military said Wednesday that the strikes were in response to the firing of five rockets and mortars into Israel on Tuesday. The military said aircraft targeted a tunnel and two other sites used by militants.
The Hamas militants who rule Gaza have largely refrained from attacking Israel since Israel’s Gaza offensive two years ago. But smaller groups continue to fire rockets and mortars.
