It began with the murder of Palestinian families enjoying a day at the beach.
If you are an Israeli, you would say it began with the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier. If, indeed, soldiers can be kidnapped.
For more than a week Israeli tanks have assaulted Gaza. Deaths and injuries of civilians in exchange for the freedom of one soldier.
Back in the 1980s I heard Ariel Sharon state, roughly, that one Israeli life was worth one hundred (or was it one thousand?) Palestinians. This is the rationale.
I pray for the safety of my Muslim brothers and sisters in Gaza.
And I wonder. Where are the Muslim leaders? Why are they silent?
