THE ISRAEL AND HAMAS WAR: TRY TO LESSEN THE LONG TERM ADVERSE AFFECTS OF THE WAR.

Since Combat has resumed, there are two things that must be considered:

- Can there be an understanding that increasing the number of casualties among

the Civil Population does neither side any good and increases animosity that

hurts both sides in the long run?

and...

- If reducing the number of Non-Combatant Casualties is a True Goal for both sides, Perhaps:

A ceasefire could be arranged for the following- A CORRIDOR COULD BE OPENED UP TO ALLOW CIVILIANS ACCESS TO A SAFE ZONE THAT WOULD BE SET UP AND MONITORED BY THE U.N AND/OR RED CROSS THAT WOULD SERVE THE BASIC HUMANITARIAN NEEDS TO ALL NON-MILITARY INDIVIDUALS;

- MEDICAL CARE.

- FOOD AND WATER.

- HYGENIC SHELTERS.

- FREEDOM FROM THE DANGERS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARMED CONFLICT.

Instituting a plan like this would indicate if one or both sides is

willing to make Humanitarian Concerns a priority. 

A refusal to even consider such a solution will force One or Both Sides to justify the Strategy that

forcing Non-Combatants to remain in an area occupied by Military Forces is justified, or that such 

casualties are inevitable, and cannot be avoided or even decreased.
