Trouble on the Gaza Strip

Israel rained 100 tons of bombs on the Arabs today in retaliation for rocket and mortar attacks on Southern Israel, killing 227 and wounding 400-700 others. Hamas has continued rocket and mortar attacks and Israel, Israel says targeting Hamas leaders is under consideration and they're sending ground troops to the border in preparation for a ground attack. Hamas is threatening to unleash Hell.

The top Roman Catholic cleric in the Holy Land, Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal, gave a press conference a few days ago to draw attention to the plight of the Christians who are cut off from food and the staples necessary for life. He wants the sanctions lifted and the Arabs to stabilize the area with an organized legal structure, instead of terrorizing with sociopaths for their soveriegnty. Twal also decried the plight of Iraqi Christians.

Lousy situation all around that is in need of prayers.
