The article "Incursion Into Gaza," posted in the editorial of The New York Times on Jan 5, 2009, raises the attention about the challenges that the new US president will face with respect to the conflict in the Middle East. Israel fiercely attacked the militants of Hamas causing hundreds or even thousands of casualties and uncountable material damage on Gaza Strip; all publicly in front of the permissive attitude of the US. Why should Americans be concerned about this conflict? Well, according to “Text of U.S.-Israel agreement to end Gaza arms smuggling,” the U.S. will cooperate with the security, military and intelligence of Israel to control the terrorist in Gaza. Israel is the best allied of the US in the Middle East.
The United States have supported military Israel since it was established as state in 1948. Millions of Americans tax-dollars have been spent on the rockets that these days have destroyed houses, refuges, schools and innocents in Gaza. Obama's administration should aim for the regional peace and impose conditions to avoid that the aid will not be used to kill defenseless children and families. My position does not support Hamas terrorist attacks and does not neglect the fact that Hamas was the first who broke the cease fire agreement, but it criticizes that the U.S. backs up the disproportionate and violent response of Israel. Furthermore, in order to help solving this conflict they should dig into its roots. Perhaps, one of the causes is the strong religious type government of Israel. The state of Israel should treat equally its habitants regardless of their religious views or race. On this line of thoughts, I feel very fortunate to live in a country that respects all religious and political views. To summarize, I think Obama's administration should carefully watch the use of the US aid to Israel and advocate for the regional peace instead of fueling more this painful conflict.
