I don’t like what I’m seeing at all.

I don’t like the fact that there is no one in a position of leadership who will even discuss the human cost of what is happening on the Gaza strip.

I don’t like the fact that Barack Obama has said nothing.

What are they going to do, treat it like we treated Fallujah?

Disproportionate response.

The situation is complex, for sure – and I’ve been listening to the arguments for days. The rockets are wrong, and the attack is wrong – and neither will contribute to any sort of sustainable relationship among the peoples there.

There is something fundamentally wrong about what is happening right now, and, as for me, my heart goes out to the civilians who are suffering and being killed.

Israel is using our weapons to killing innocents, not just arguable targets. They’ve blockaded.

The lives of Palestinians are worth just as much as any other life. The reporting is permeated with subhuman projections, something that is doubly distressing from people who have a history that should have taught them better.

Here it seems I’m in opposition even to my own party. Who in America will speak for the humanity of the people there? Look what happened when Jimmy Carter tried to do it.

This campaign to prevent Hamas from having the ability to lob old rockets (and compare the death counts) will have to level the whole place.

How does that serve anyone?

My feeling is that Israel is divided – much as we are. They have every right to protect their citizens. But this is too much.

The first question that comes to mind: Who is this helping in the election there?
