Middle East Clashes

4 Palestinians die in new Middle East clashes

Last Tuesday, 4 Palestinians fell victim to attacks led by the Israelis. All four of these deaths happened in different places at different times, but on the same day. Two of these deaths were because of attempted attacks on the Israelis; a man disguised in an Israeli army uniform attempting to infiltrate a compound, and a young man who climbed on an Israeli armored vehicle. The majority of the deaths that occur in the Middle East are because of retaliatory efforts. Everyone is trying to get back at each other because of what the other side did first, or did the day before even. This fighting should stop, and be settled in a peaceful manner free of violence. If this fighting continues, there won’t be much of the Middle East left when it’s over. You cannot go a day without seeing somewhere in a newspaper, that either a few Palestinians, or a few Israelis have died in some kind of attack or fight. This should not be happening, and the countries in which this is happening, should ask their neighbors, and other countries for help. They need all the help they can get in trying to bring this conflict to a peaceful end. I hope that we won’t have to see too many more of this type of article in the future, and that everyone can work out their differences without fighting.
