"But the children live here!"

I'm shocked, but very pleased, that this was on network news... 60 Minutes, no less. This is a very important and honest coverage of the way Palestinians are imprisoned in their own homeland (and homes!-- and how Israel is preventing peace. Must see.

It's good to see that the world, especially in the West, is (finally) starting to notice the David-and-Goliath situation in place here, the way that Palestinians are being unjustly, criminally, and often fatally mistreated by the Israeli state and some of its citizens, and that-- oh yeah-- maybe there is a reason that Palestinians are so angry.

Here's another heartening video... an Israeli citizen speaks the truth and describes his (and many of his fellow Israelis') feelings of despair at the recent Gaza attacks. Thanks to The Glaring Truth (a blog you should read) and the BBC for posting this.

Salaams, people. Have faith, stay strong.
