I do not get easily provoked but the latest episode in the latest Middle East crisis will add an additional straw on my back. An Israeli missile hit a UN post notwithstanding that the UN troops had contacted the Israelis ten times before the attack, which took the lives of four UN peacekeepers, including a Finn.

This kind of totally reckless behaviour makes me think how long can Israel continue to kill and maim with the rest of the world just standing by? Naturally this will not be the last Middle East crisis but it is now, sadly, closer to many Finns.
