Civilians - children included - are caught up in this constant back-and-forth attack between Israel and the Hamas, particularly in the Gaza strip. We face the new year and while we look forward to many things, the civilians in this part of the world are constantly suffering - both in Gaza and Israel.
See what Human Rights has published on these recent bombings and attacks that have targeted civilians here. Amnesty International has an online petition that you can sign urging Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to take action on these occurrences. This is not just a conflict between two military/political entities, and it does not leave civilian lives untouched; it affects the lives and the futures of those who have little choice as bystanders, inevitably drawn in because of proximity and default by birth.
