history repeating? Can we kick Israel from the community of nations now? No really, what about now? The IDF's actions in Gaza are bringing back memories of the Shoah for some, via today's Washington Post, "On TV I saw an old woman rummaging through the ruins of her house looking for her medication, and it reminded me of my grandmother who was thrown out of her house during the Shoah," or Holocaust, Lapid (Justice Minister Yosef Lapid - ub) told Israel radio in an interview after the weekly session. There are some wars you know who to take a stand with and some where the protagonists spiral the violence to include civilains without any regard for who's culpable and who's not. I don't see how the Palestinians or the Israelis are moving toward any sort of solution or lasting peace, it is just not happening, and a pitifully small number of people seem to realize that. |
