Killing of innocent Palestinians, including children and women, has crossed the brutality of Nazis. Till now more than 800 have been killed and 2,500 injured. There is place in hospital to treat the wounded innocent victims. It has been well understood that invasion of Gaza in the name of liquidating Hamas is show of power to gain public support in the upcoming Israeli election. This reminds us of the US strategy when the Bush regime invaded Iraq in the name of democracy against WMD or terror. Now is the time the whole world should unite, especially the Arab world, for stopping the Israeli atrocities.

Israel has failed to fight Hamas, so they are purposely killing innocent women and children of Palestine. Killing innocent people, women and children is a work of terrorists, not of a state. Israel blames Hamas for attacking their civilians, isn't Israel itself carrying out the worst terrorist attacks? If the definition of terrorism doesn't change for Israel in the UN dictionary, the situation will worsen further in the days ahead. Mohammad Faruk, Nurjahan road ,Mohammadpur, Dhaka

Hatred begets hatred. While the world craves for peace and prosperity, yet again we see another act of senseless brutality. Let us really begin to put diplomatic pressure on Israel to change its tactics as military invasion can never be the answer. It is through wisdom, dialogue and trust building that humanity can be united. We have to focus on making the world an inclusive place for all. I forcefully submit my views that Israel should desist from all forms of military operations. I would also request the citizens of the attacked country to have patience and work vigorously for a diplomatic solution. Let us awaken the giant called the UN to take centre-stage in these negotiations without taking sides. Ziaur Rahman, CEO, IITM
