I do not usually do politics (and I do not think this is politics either)…but when children, innocent people are slaughtered this way, I cannot keep my mouth shut. A blog should entertain but also express the blogger’s opinion. I do not care who started this conflict, I do not care where the faults lie. THIS HAS TO STOP!
As a mother I feel for every child who has died in the Gaza region. As a Christian, I don't believe Jesus would argue who is right or who is wrong. He would simply weep and state, "Love God and love one another as you love yourself". He would then ask "how are any of you loving me and one another through this violence”.
I feel impotent and angry at my impotence. I look at my children and I feel ashamed because I cannot do anything. I signed a petition at
http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_time_for_peace but who really reads petitions? Not our politicians who are too wrapped into themselves and their arguments to listen, not Israel or Hamas who keep on firing missiles and shedding innocent lives in the name of what?
So what else can we do apart from crying and praying for those little souls, those little angels of Gaza?

A very moving post which brought tears to my eyes. I agree with every word.
I totally agree with you on this one. We must all demand it stops and make the politicians of every country speak out.
Thanks Ruby. Thanks, Mo. It is so awful to be witness of all this distruction and injustice and be so powerless!!!

I always feel this way when I read the news — both local and international. I just don't understand sometimes…
I just don't get it, it's always the innocent that suffer and for what??
Great Post Antoinella

I agree with you entirely, it has to stop. I find it so painful just to look at that photograph so the pain and suffering of their parents defies imagination. There`s no such thing as a `just` war.
Love Sandra xxxx
I continue to keep this issue in my prayers on the smoke. A few days ago I saw a picture of rumble with a small childs arm sticking out and a woman's half show nearby. I openly weeped for the cruelty bestowed and caught in the midst of this war. I hope something ends this slaughter soon. If we truly believed an eye for an eye, the world would be blind.
Thank you also for the awards! They mean alot to me dear one! (Hugs)Indigo
That was suppose to read shoe, not show. Indy
I couldn't agree more. I wish there was more I could do. I see the horrible carnage on the new every night and it breaks my heart. Thanks for talking about it. It really is time we all stand up and say enough is enough,

I totally agree with you Antonella, it breaks my heart. Will there EVER be peace. How killing children can be justified I will never know.
Thanks very much for your supportive comments. I do not want to become "heavy" or tedious but this is constantly on my mind and I feel so bad not being able to do something concretely. The only thing I can do is to talk...Bless you all.
How awful for this family to loose all their precious daughters this way.
I heard about this story just today on NPR(national public radio)...my heart was/is breaking. I so agree with you....this has to stop..I can not think of anything worse than the terror inflicted on these children daily. What in the world is wrong with this picture that can't be fixed? I do not get political either and I am so on the same page with you....
