The violence in the Middle East doesn't show any sign of stopping and there are daily stories of tragedies on both sides of the fighting.
It's a difficult political situation which the world is struggling with.
But what do you think of the situation there?

 Israel is fighting a war on terroism against the palastinions, why cant the world get behind it like it does with America? It is exactly the same... Sam, 15, London
We could stop this with our aid helpers! Liam, 14, Wiltshire
There wouldn't be any violence or bloodshed if the Palestinians were given their land back. It shouldn't have been taken from them in the first place. Sara, 15, Wales
The countries are wasting their money on bombs and weapons when it could be used to help the injured. Tara, 15, Epsom
I have been to the middle east a number of times. It's nothing like the news shows. You don't notice the violence and everyone in Israel is very hopeful and caring. I think that it is tragic that both side can't sit down and discuss their problems. Debs, 15, Manchester
I thinks it's sad the Israelis are refusing to let the Muslims live on their land. Aamer, 12, Edgeware
We should be doing more to stop the violence. It doesn't matter what other people believe in, just worry about what you believe in. Stacey, 16, Kent
It is awful to see that people are getting hurt over land and religion. Many innocent adults and children are getting killed. I would hate it is I lost some of my family in the violence Sophia, 13, Croydon
Why can't people talk about their problems rather that fighting about them? Lucy, 14, Horsley
There's been so much violence there, that it has just become part of everyday life and if someone from a bombed area came over to England, they would definitely notice the difference Nadine, 11, Birmingham
I think for once they should about the innocent children who lose mothers, fathers ,brothers and sisters everyday in this violence Nooreen 15, Karachi
The countries are wasting their money on bombs and weapons when it could be helping either the injured or families. I think women and children should be refugees and go to another country for peace and rest Tara, 11, Epsom
It's really sad how children and adults are dying when they are innocent. I agree totally with what Lareerah said. The Palestinians should have their rightful land returned to them Serah, 12, Cardiff
I feel really sorry for the people who live in the middle east. I would be so scared. Hannah, 10, Crowthorne
The land should be returned to its rightful owners, the only reason that so many people are dying is because the Palestinians are willing to risk their life have the land back. Emzi, 11, Studley
I don't see why these two nations are fighting over land and religion which will be standing a lot longer than the people fighting for these petty issues! Oliver, 14, Bristol
It's really awful that people are killed. Can't we just have peace?! Dominic & Lydia, 10 & 11, Northamptonshire
The violence will only stop if the Palestinians are allowed to return to their rightful homeland.
Lareerah, 15, London
Too many innocent people are getting killed.
Harry, 11, Morpeth
