The death toll has reached 913, with a 69:1 Gazan-to-Israeli ratio. An average of 57 people per day. That’s higher than the daily average of Iraqi deaths since we invaded Iraq nearly 6 years ago.
40 Gazans were killed on Sunday compared to 0 Israelis. That’s a daily ratio of…∞:0.
Anyone watch the 24 Season 7 premiere tonight? One of the season plot lines seemed oddly apt to the current crisis in Gaza. I noted that on the show they’re handling it a bit differently from how we’re handling this crisis.
All our government needs to do is stop enabling Israel. That needs too happen. Now.
Cheers.

It won’t happen until DC as a whole makes a concerted effort to get out from under the sway of the Israeli lobby in America. Some people think the whole Middle East question hangs on the Israeli lobby. That’s overly simplistic to be sure, but there’s probably something to be said for it.
