And finally, something I have recently recognized --- the Palestinians don't want to build their country --- it was bloody hard work for the Israelis to turn the desert they were given into the modern nation it is today --- and the Palestinians are basically lazy. Their men would rather hang around doing nothing all day - when they aren't out setting off rockets - Hey! it's easier to sit around whining and waiting for handouts, then it is to actually set to work to create something of lasting value. With the amount of aid they have received over the last 60 years what have they got to show for it? A lot of weapons. As the mullahs in Iran have said so often: "Muslims worship death, not life."

I must say- you mentioned that 2 out of 3 Israeli kids have PTSD? Well, at least they are alive. I lived in a warzone myself for many years, and I can tell you first hand that I know what both sides are experiencing. But for you to say that the Israelis are experiencing so much hardship after nearly 500 Palestinian deaths is comical. Truly. The Israelis say that the Hamas rockets must stop? The world says that the embargo imposed on the Palestinians should stop. They are Human Beings too. They have been living in a state of horrific disgust for a long time. I am sure the majority of those living in the Gaza strip very much dislike Hamas and all that it is causing. But please, don't go around showing the world what injustice is being inflicted on the Israelis when so far 100 Palestinian children have been killed. That is just not fair. You, as a mother should know. I have NEVER been a supported or Hamas, nor will I ever be, and I have always made it a point to be a mediator between Arabs and Israelis, but this time Israel has gone too far. Time for some objectivity. Karen, I just watched you on CNN. I must say- you mentioned that 2 out of 3 Israeli kids have PTSD? Well, at least they are alive.

I looked at the pictures on PowerlineBlog. The thought kept coming back to me at what point to people lose their humanity? I just see cockroaches and vermin attacking humanity.

Carrying on with sleepless nights and a brave smile by day with a pounding heart not knowing if you when you close that door of your home if you will live to open it again. And then the little children, holding their hands tight as though never to let them go until you reach the kindergarten and then to leave them in the hands of God till you see them next while you go to the market to keep life going on as normal. But it isn't and you know it and everyone else knows it too for that Red Signal tells you so and the wailing sound of the Sirens proves it too clearly .... Where was it this time??? so that should't we say 'Hats off and more' to all those brave people living in Sderot that despite it all, do not leave........? I can imagine.
