I can't pretend to be the most knowledgeable on wars, especially of the religious kind, however I can't stand by any aggressor occupying land and oppressing and killing the original inhabitants. Doesn't matter if it's Tibet, Palestine, or the United States of America... it's just not right. The death toll in the Gaza Strip is up nearly 300 and counting, not to mention the impending crisis...
According to CNN:
"Gaza is headed for "a major humanitarian disaster" unless the fighting ends soon, said Dr. Eyad El-Sarraj, a psychiatrist who runs Gaza's mental health program.
He described people huddling in their basements for safety as bombs fell.
"The children are terrified," he said. "Adults are unable to provide them with security or warmth. Hospitals are stretched out of the limits. We need blood and medicine and surgical equipment."
Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), said the agency has been unable to get needed medical supplies into Gaza for more than a year, because of Israel's blockade of border crossings."
It's a new year... Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and everyone else... can't we all just get along. Live and let live.
