War! How Much Is The Cost?

By Abu Qisth


After 22 days the New Straits Times reported that about 1205 death and more than 5000 wounded. Several sources said an approximate of 50% from them were women as well as children. It looks weird when the cocky-cruel Israel declares end to hostilities. Why end? Are their assault mission can't be survived in Gaza?

60 years of endless conflicts proved that the Palestenian can't be beaten militarily. At the end of the war, we can only witness the death and damage. The cost of damage is up to RM 1.6 billion (USD 475.9 billion) for infrastructure while to clean-up the Gaza takes another USD 500 million more. 4000 residential buildings destroyed, 16 000 residential buildings damage, 1500 commercial ( factories, shops ect.) facilities damage, even 18 schools , 20 masjid and 51 goverment buildings destroyed! Now they (Palestinian) suffer from getting a better sanitation system as well as other basic infrastructures where the situation will expose them to the high risk of getting plagues and other diseases.


This devastating conflict should serves a lesson for Israel that military action is not the solution. They should learn the language of tolarence in politically engange with Palestine especially Hamas. Whatever, in order for Israel to learn what is harmony mean, they must first serve their right in the world criminal court for the crimes they have been doing.
