Last night I talked to a housewife from St. Louis (at a non-Jewish family gathering) who said she was very uncomfortable about the fact that the world is now having to spend billions to rebuild Gaza– makes her wonder why we permitted it to be devastated in the first place? She's my bellwether. 5000 people demonstrated outside a tennis match in Malmo, Sweden, between a Swedish team and an Israeli one. Folks got a little unruly.
And here's Alice Walker going to Gaza, with Code Pink. She's concerned because it's such a "volatile" situation. Yes; the treatment of Palestinians was part of the motivation behind the 9/11 hijackers.
