I have been frequently, over the past week and a half, at a loss to describe my feelings, productively, on the situation in Gaza and southern Israel. My anger and confusion often cloud my ability to defend my thoughts against those who challenge them so vehemently.

Alan Dershowitz, as always, eloquently and fully summarizes a point of view, which I share, regarding the violence and terrorism occuring in Gaza. His blog on the events, through the Jerusalem Post, is an absolute must read for those interested in an accurate portrayal.

I pray, and hopefully you will as well, for the health, strength, and courage of Israel’s citizens and brave soldiers. For those davening or reflecting, please include numbers 121 & 142 in Tehillim, specifically.

May Israel succeed in overturning Hamas’ terrorist regime, and return our soldiers home safely, with as little civilian casualties on both sides, as possible. כן יהי רצון
