Shame on a world that allows Gaza to happen

The violence being inflicted by the Israeli Army in Gaza is a shame on the world.

Yesterday the IDF said  it: “regrets the harm caused by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike that killed dozens of people in the Maghazi refugee camp in the centre of Gaza earlier this week."

"Regrets the harm” - it must be the three most cynical and objectionable words spoken by a democratic government in a long time.

It seems life is cheap to the Israeli government.

So too with the wars in Ukraine, Somalia, Yemen, everywhere. Where is the United Nations? All those officials are on significant salaries. What are they doing?

And we all know who is profiting from all these wars.
