Ive struggled with the right words, even the exact sentiment, of what to add to the posts about Israel and Palestine. Ive liked the things Ive agreed with, Ive even shared a few potent messages, but I havent really said anything. I have Jewish friends who in the past have said strongly that anyone who thinks X doesnt know the history. The history is so old and twisted and.. weve all at least gotten that sense. Let me just say that I am unequivocally opposed to Israels recent bombing and killing of civilians. Im not going to go into the wrongs from Hamas side, etc, they are there, but numbers like 1,843 Palestinian civilians, including a reported 415 children, killed are mind boggling and unacceptable. Its a strange strange time we live in. Im so so happy that Ferguson has turned around. I still feel bad for the family and friends of Michael Brown as this kind of hole in their hearts will probably feel worse before it gets better. But I see how the imagery from Ferguson changed everything. What if we could see the masses of Palestine, the thousands and thousands of them in Gandhi defiance-- with their Hands Up. Dont Shoot. vox/2014/8/13/5998591/hands-up-dont-shoot-photos-ferguson-michael-brown
