All my 55 years I have watched conflict after Israeli conflict but this one is different.
The media coverage is intense.
The effect of this is the world sees Palestinian children wounded, dying and dead.
When a news report shows a young man searching rubble for his family shot, not once but 3 times. It was deliberate murder of a civilian.
So what is the effect of this?
Well, where I supported Israel in its plight to survive in a hostile region, I am now thinking if the Muslims obliterate Israel from the face of the planet I wouldn't be bothered.
Israel may be winning the ground war but have lost the battle for hearts and minds.
I do wonder on the hypocrisy of sanctions against Russia but no call for sanctions against Israel.
I makes you wonder just how much power the Jewish community holds in this world.
