It's been almost seven months. What's going on out there? A sudden crisis in Israel over an abducted soldier. I read some quotes by the international community. This one caught my attention:

Mikhail Kamynin, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson

The right and duty of the government of Israel to defend the lives and security of its citizens are beyond doubt.

But this should not be done at the cost of the lives of many lives and many Palestinian civilians, by massive military strikes with heavy consequences for the civilian population.
