The UN security council passed a resolution last night despite the Americans abstaining, but Israel did not let up on her assault of Gaza. Nothing new to report here, as Israel repeatedly claims the UN is full of anti-Semitic people who wish to seek her ultimate destruction. Violent protests continue to take place all over the world, violent because the various governments choose to suppress those voices that speak out against Israeli aggression. I continue to pray for a cease fire that will allow Gazans to seek medical treatment, water, and food. The latest news that Red Cross personal encountered young children starving, surrounded by the bodies of their dead relatives in heart wrenching. The fact that IDF soldier were less than 80 km away is barbaric. Edward Said could describe this much more eloquently than I. There is no way to speak of these horrific acts against humanity with more intelligence and passion than attempted here. Hopefully, the Palestinians will come out of this stronger and more unified, with an eloquent and convincing spokesman/ woman that can tell their story with the same conviction as Said. If Israel continues this assault, perhaps the world will look upon her differently, not as a country full of suffering people, but one full of violent, sociopaths with no consideration toward humanity.
