Gaza stripped away...

News of the Gaza strip bothers me these days. After all, aren't each of us responsible for what is happening there? It is our global community that has put such political pressure on Israel to give in to Palestinian demands in the name of peace. And if peace doesn't happen....what then? In the meantime, people's lives and livelihoods are being stripped away. I feel it deeply as a farmer - we love our land; we put so much into it that it becomes part of us - monetary compensation doesn't come close to the value we place on it. (Let alone giving it up to those who have made themselves so clearly an enemy). So it hurts to watch knowing that's all I can do....and pray.
