As a member of the West. --I am Sorry and Ashamed--I wish the Palestinians and especially the citizens of GAZA Peace, their own State, a secure home with a decent life for them and their loved ones, and some form of Justice--I recognize nothing could come close to compensating them for the horror they have had to endured for many years, with repeated massacres--the darkness of what is has been done is such an indictment of the Perpetrators
