Gaza again - sometimes the sheer reality hits you

Seeing the news, the latest bomb blasts of rather strange targets (which "will be explained later" by the men in black suits sitting safely in offices far far from the horror of it all) and this little child, perhaps a year or so older than my own grandson, his face distorted by the sheer shock of the shells and the destruction they had caused. He stared into the camera then gesticulated to where the full horror of what he had witnessed still remained - friends blown to bits? A home in ruins? But the camera didn't follow; and Just the image of his face remains. Another world yet still our world.

Really, what can anyone say?

I’ve seen that part of the world up close and personal, and I’ve no love for it. People there hate so easily. In the Middle East war is eternal.

@WintaTheAngle Well, Yahweh was certainly a God of war. It is there in black and white in the pages of the Bible. Words have power. He came out of those hills and deserts and war has been there ever since. Tragic.

@pipedreams I can’t speak for gods. But the people, there’s something wrong about them.

@WintaTheAngle As I see it, people can take their lead from the Gods they believe in.
