UN Calls for Peace in Mid East.

Good old UN, intent on being respected, intent on not being seen as impetant have called on all sides to be calm, peaceful and play nicely !!

Today, The United Nations issued appeals to coincide with the Jewish New Year and Ramadan, the month-long Muslim season of fasting, seeking humanitarian relief in the Palestinian territories and a sign of the fate of two Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah.

UN Humanitarian Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland appealed to Jews and Muslims to use the religious holidays to show goodwill to each other and "break through humanitarian crises that are long overdue to be resolved."

"If we don't make progress now in these holiest weeks both for Muslims and for Jews, we will not make much progress later," Egeland told the Associated Press on Monday.

Why does it have to be a religious holiday that makes people ponder their actions? Why can`t people keep these religious credos closer to heart throughout the whole year?
