I have one thing to say about what is happening in the Gaza now. It's atrocious. There is no better word to describe it. And it must be stopped. It doesn't matter why, what political reasons are involved. It must end as soon as possible. I can't believe that there are actually nations and governments that are backing the attacks.

Today is the Muslim holiday known as Ashoura. With what is happening in the Gaza, I expect those remembering Ashoura will be fired up. I expect the day to turn into serious demonstrations, be they planned or impromptu.
