We interrupt our regularly scheduled...

The conflict in Gaza really upsets me. I have signed petitions, I have watched the news, I have tried to understand. I have Jewish friends and I have Islamic friends. I find the whole scenario heartbreaking. One of my Egyptian students started a group on facebook called "We hate Israel." This is coming from a nine year old boy, how can someone so young know what it is to hate? I know this sounds silly but I wish there was something I could do, something pro-active. I would donate blood to the red cross but I am not allowed (malaria). I have signed this letter from Amnesty International, perhaps you will to.
