We’ve been hostages to this war for 100 days.  The hostages in the tunnels of Gaza go through daily hell and our helplessness in the face of a violent government and an impossible military situation makes us hostages as well.  Of course there is no comparison, but the helplessness is extremely painful.

not that I am not continuing to enjoy my personal life.  i have the perfect conditions to ignore the world and ways to forget what is happening outside.  But I couldn’t be a human being if i forget.
