We have been there before – Operation ‘Cast Lead,’ Operation ‘Pillar of Cloud’ and now Operation ‘Protective Edge.’ Bombs bring the launching of rockets that bring more bombs – more and more. Revenge brings more revenge. The murder of innocent boys brings more murder of innocent boys. We must put an end to it.”
