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?

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”

as in, when the muslims that claim to be peaceful/tolerant do nothing to prevent/deter the muslims that are extremists/terrorists...

If palestinians really want any lasting peace, they need to arm themselves and evict the hamas themselves, and banish anyone who even considers starting a war with a country that'll result in them becoming a target themselves...

It's akin to starting a brush fire in your backyard, then complaining when your neighbor calls the fire dept. to put it out...
