Beautiful Children

Given the escalation of conflict in Gaza this weekend, I've been glued to the internet news sites (like most of you, I'm sure). Here are a couple of links that I felt were worth a look, and second look...
Global Voices special coverage - ongoing; 
NY Times Report - 3rd Jan; 
BBC News protests at Israeli embassy in London - 3rd Jan; 
Haaretz.com coverage of protests in Tel Aviv - 4th Jan; 
Protest photos from all around the world - ongoing;

A proposed solution for peace in the Middle East; the above graffiti; discovered on a wall near Dizengoff Circle in Tel Aviv. This simple sentiment reflects a central problem of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the larger web of sectarian conflicts in the region. Change won’t happen as long as each faction hates the other more than they love their own children.

Peace, coming to a world near you, soon - Insh'Allah.
