Gaza

Oh dear, this latest development in Gaza is distressing. Those poor people!!! It has got through my apathetic crust. Even went on a demonstration just before New Year. One hopes - probably futilely - that maybe Barack Obama might still be open to persuasion not to blindly back the Israeli war machine and anyway there's not really much one can do. I'm not a one to get off my backside usually in my comparatively comfortable middle-of-the-road middle-age. Got to thinking this morning that there must be demonstrations against the war going on in Israel. Had a quick google. Yip. Check this out. Also, Coalition of women; News report, Gush Shalom, Yesh Gvul ("which arose in response to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, as growing numbers of soldiers grasped that the campaign, with its bloodshed and havoc, was an act of naked and futile aggression in which they wanted no part".) Ah well, that's enough. Couldn't fit this on my facebook one-liners which I have discovered are more my style.
