Provoked by Hamas rockets, Israel wreaks devastation on Gaza. As president-elect Obama stays mum, the stakes get even higher.
(From Time, Jan 12, 2009)
Near Gaza, the conflict between Israeli and Palestinian caused unending fight. At 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 27, the rolling boom of Israeli bombs and missiles slamming into Gaza. This military action has caused Israeli overkill. The Bush Administration blamed the escalation of violence squarely on Hamas. The chorus of condemnation will grow with the proportions of the conflict. However, the President-elect Obama seems unwilling to directly engage with the problem before the Jan. 20 Inauguration.
