Innocent people got killed everyday in Palestine and Lebanon

Do we just watch and listen to the news and do nothing?

something we don't see often in the press:
| Quote: | Mindless in Gaza: Israel's risky strategy
Financial Times editorial 1 July 2006
It is just conceivable that Israel's present course of action in laying siege to the Gaza Strip could be tactically rational. It may, for instance, be aimed at turning the Palestinian people against Hamas, the Islamist movement they elected in January. What is certain, however, is that it is dangerously disproportionate.
No two conflicts are alike, in cause or in contour, but it is legitimate to compare standards of behaviour. Consider, for a moment, what would have happened if, in reaction to the IRA seizing a soldier, the British government had: invaded Northern Ireland; punished its people by destroying its electricity supply, transport links and government offices; shelled Belfast and Derry from land, sea and air; cratered the Falls Road; used the Royal Air Force to buzz the offices of the Taoiseach in Dublin; and arrested every Republican it could lay its hands on.
There would rightly have been an international outcry - and so there should be in this case.
The new Israeli government of Ehud Olmert says its sole purpose is to secure the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit, seized last Sunday in a raid by Palestinian militants on an Israeli army post. But the disproportion between means and ends suggests this may be a pretext.
The events of the past month have not been easy for Mr Olmert. He was elected on a pledge to set unilaterally new borders for an expanded Israeli state, by annexing large swaths of the occupied territory on which Palestinians had hoped to build their independent state. Getting away with this land-grab depends on the credibility of the Israeli government's claim that it has no Palestinian interlocutor and must therefore act to safeguard its security.
In the past month, however, the political dynamics on the Palestinian side started changing remarkably. Mahmoud Abbas, the nationalist president whose long search for a negotiated solution to the conflict has been spurned by Israel, challenged the rejectionism of Hamas.
Either they accepted a state on the West Bank and Gaza with its capital in Arab east Jerusalem - in other words all the territory Israel occupied after the 1967 war - or he would call a referendum he would almost certainly have won.
Hamas and Mr Abbas's Fatah then reached a national unity pact that, by accepting a two-state solution, meant the Islamists implicitly recognised Israel, a step towards the conditions international mediators require for peace negotiations to resume. But, as this process unfolded, and even though Hamas has held to a ceasefire for 17 months, Israel suddenly assassinated Jamal Abu Samadhana, a grassroots Gaza militia leader. The operation in which Cpl Shalit was seized was supposedly in reprisal for this, and the shelling of a beach that killed a Palestinian family, although it could easily be an attempt by rejectionists to sabotage the Hamas-Fatah agreement.
In either case, this dark new episode in the conflict is in danger of spiralling out of control. A decade of intensified Israeli action and political stalemate has radicalised Palestinians. This offensive will continue that - just as politics was staging a comeback.
The response of the US and its allies, calling for "restraint", is mutely inadequate. This is a situation that requires forceful diplomatic intervention - one that emphasises that hostage-taking, by all sides, is unacceptable, and one that magnifies each and every glimmer of political light. |

Fool around with my...
|
|
... Canon EOS 300D 
The first 3 photos were taken using Cosina 19-35mm F3.5-4.5 Autofocus Zoom Lens and the last 2 by Canon EF 75-300mm Mk III F4-5.6 Autofocus Zoom Lens.
How much it costs? Let's just say, there'll be no shopping, travelling, and luxury food for a month, or two.
