Time For Some Moral High Ground

There are a number of bloody conflicts going on in the world at this time, just as there has been for all of recorded history.  Both sides usually blame the other guy and the aggressors always have an excuse for killing non-combatants.  Frequently combatants are people who are just trying to protect their families and homes.

One conflict that has recently made the news has been the current round of combat between the Jewish state of Israel and the people of the Gaza strip.  It has been a true disaster for the people of Gaza.The inequity of the casualties has caused a backlash in Israel and we hope that the emphasis will now be on disaster relief tor the people of Gaza.

I would hope that the conflict between the State of Israel and Hamas would now shift to who can claim the most Moral High Ground by seeking peace.  We would love to see  peace become the sought for prize.
