Since when did politics become more important than human life and morality itself I don't know. but it is sad... just sad to live in this country. We have desecrated this Holy Land, the Holy footsteps, the Birth and Resurrection with innocent blood... Lord have mercy on me and the 156 souls of your people (155 Palestinians, 1 Jew) - for now. I wish my Lord would have blessed me with a heavier burden - elsewhere - in a place in which I do not have to choose whether to attend another Christmas Party this evening to have fun, or go to Church to pray for the lost souls, the dead children, the forgotten peace and mourn the lost holiness of this land... I wish I did not have to go to sleep and wondering how close this war is going to be tomorrow, though it is only a few hundred miles away - and in fact I am already part of it. I wish I could pray long enough, to wake into a morning full of sunshine, instead of waking up into the gloom of requiem news and the wails of women mourning their beloved ones... I wish I had faith strong enough to move mountains and change the world, but the faith left in me is barely enough to hold me standing and whine to you my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Pray for the Kingdom of Heaven to come already...

If no then they will have to pay the consequences. Stephanos I How about - Israel stop starving Gaza and allow basic humanitarian aid in, Gaza then stop the rockets... Please - if you think that the propaganda you watch on TV is even close to the truth I am willing to host you in my house - Haifa, Israel - and Give you a tour in what they call the west bank, Gaza and sad Bethlehem - then I will dare you to repeat what you have just said. Reality is much more complicated and cruel than what is seen on TV and the Pro-Zionist or pro-Palestinian Propaganda.
