so many things still crazy. Israel tried to send medical supplies to Gaza but got shot at yesterday and had to turn back, but today seem to be succeeding.  I think this is one of the signs that we have great empathy for the Gazan people, but not for the present government there that spends fortunes on building weapons of destruction with no regard for an unprotected people.

Yes, I was in Gaza a few times many years ago, and felt very comfortable with the people – even though then I couldn’t speak a word.  But that was before Hamas.  We women sat together and crocheted, showing each other different tricks of flowers.   I have since forgotten the stitches, and barely remember how to crochet.  

But it would be wonderful to sit with those women again.  

Without the weapons.
