I’ve been cancelling stuff all week, gave concert tickets away, gave apologies to ladies tomorrow for late morning meeting, am about to give a tentative “no” to cholent on shabbat and have warned the dentist on sunday that recovery is conditional.  Now I can concentrate on Gaza.

What madness is this?   

We had been exiled from Gaza as well.  We had been exiled from Israel and from many other places.  How can we support exile?  

If what is wanted is to rebuild Gaza for the sake of the people it can be done in pieces.  if what is wanted is beachfront luxury…wow.  

You may say that they deserve it, for the way it has been behaving for over a year and fourth months, and in the years past, the tragedy that has affected all this country.  And indeed a desire for revenge is understandable.  But I don’t think it adds to our sense of morality.

And I don’t believe the the rest of the world will accept it.

and, oh yes, i don’t think this announcement is going to help getting our hostages back.
