The Forever...Ongoing Israeli/Palestinian Conflict!

There’s something really haunting about this picture of an injured young man near Gaza City.   It just grabbed me.   I don’t know if it’s his eyes or the bloodied hand or just his look of despair/helplessness.   The photo, taken by Tyler Hicks, was on the front page of today’s New York Times.   To me, it’s testimony to the insanity of war (even though this is referred to as the Israeli/Palestinian “conflict”).   This conflict was going on way before I was born (over sixty years ago)…and will probably continue long after I’ve died!   Quite honestly…I’m really sick of it all!   I really am!
