So the Israeli government and Hammas decided to ignore the United Nations’ call for cease-fire. This just proves how weak and ineffective the United Nations is in resolving conflicts between countries. I believe this chaotic situation in Gaza will continue even if powerful countries such as the US and UK decide to intervene because both sides are just too stubborn and aggressive.
I’m really upset about the current situation in the Middle East like most of you. I recall the conversation I had with the atheist friend a long time ago about religion. He believes that religion is the cause of most conflicts in the world. Apparently, his opinion seems to be correct. Isn’t religion supposed to teach people about peace and love? People in the Middle East don’t seem to get it. I know that the conflict in the Middle East has been going on for hundreds of years. It’s surprising that they still haven’t come up with something that will create peace that lasts.
Obama’s inauguration is only a couple of weeks away from now and I’m really looking forward to seeing him take action. Hopefully, Obama will make the right decisions to help resolve this conflict.

Why do you put pressure on Obama or anyone in the US to solve this conflict?
I think we should step away and not waste our resources (they've clearly been ineffective so far anyway).
In my opinion, the idea that religion is one of the major causes of strife in the world, is just not very true. While it may be something that comes up in conversations about these conflicts, it is usually only a factor. Both world wars had nothing to do with religion, other than that those of a certain religion were tortured and murdered, the fact is, Hitler was just a crazy guy. He didn't claim to have a god on his side. I think the main causes of war can be said to be "humans being humans". We are always fighting about land, property, rights, or something like that. I think that religion is just a small part of what governs human action.
