Gaza An Uneven Killing Field

Gaza An Uneven Killing Field The New Nation Inter Press Service In most civil wars and military conflicts across the politically-volatile Middle East, including in Syria, Yemen and Palestine, the ongoing battles are being fought not on a level playing field but on an uneven killing field. And it is more so in the current fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, described as a Middle East carnage where children are among the civilians killed in airstrikes. The fighting is largely a battle of weapons: sophisticated US-supplied state-of-the-art fighter planes vs home-made rockets and mortars. The overwhelming Israeli firepower that continues to be unleashed on Palestinians -which has so far killed 192, including 58 children, in a weeklong confrontation - is perhaps reminiscent of the Algerian war of independence (1954-1962) when France, the colonial power, used its vastly superior military strength to strike back at the insurgents with brutal ferocity.

More than 50 children have been killed in the current crisis in the Middle East, a senior UN official, said May 15.
