The attack orchestrated by Hamas on Israel must, no doubt, be condemned and severely castigated. The terrorist attack, which left hundreds of Israelis dead and some kidnapped, is reprehensible and has no place in a civilised world. Israel, and they have a right to self-defence and self-determination, have chosen to hit back in an equally ruthless style. If violence and counter-violence were a solution, the conflict would have been the subject of history books a long time ago. Bloodthirsty terrorists must be condemned but it is time Israel accepted that Palestine as a nation is there to stay.
