L'Chaim

Lots of newspapers are talking about the crisis in Lebanon. However, hardly any reports tell this truth: Women and children are dead in Qana due to Hezbollah's actions.

Hezbollah attacks Israel and then retreats behind civilians and private homes. They use women, children, and old men as human shields. When Israel defends itself, Hezbollah drags out corpses for dramatic effect and promises more of the same.

Look, we all know the Middle East is a mess right now. How will it end? I believe this tragedy will continue until "Israel breaks the back of Hezbollah." I'm all for peace and love - when safety is secured. A recent email says it best:

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more
violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more
Israel.

My mom read me that quote yesterday. How true. So sad. But true.
